The gap between theory and practice in the leisure, sport and
tourism studies areas seems to have widened as scholars have become
more specialized. Nevertheless, it is imperative that students be
as familiar as possible with a wide range of social and political
theory, and also be able to reconcile that knowledge with their own
current and future roles as practicing professionals. A
comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to public policymaking
and planning in the leisure, sport and tourism sectors, this book:
- examines the theoretical issues underpinning public sector
policymaking such as political ideologies, leisure wants, needs,
demand and benefits, and human rights in leisure, sport, tourism
and culture; - discusses the debates surrounding the role of the
state versus market, and models of organizational decision-making;
and - uses applied sections addressing strategic planning and
performance evaluation to provide a link between theory and
practical analytical techniques. As well as extensive updating of
sources, this new edition examines such topics as libertarianism,
theocracy, anti-establishment politics, and the concept of
generations. A new chapter presents discussions of a number of
'issues and challenges' facing the leisure, sport and tourism
sector. Introducing the subject for undergraduate and postgraduate
students of leisure, sport and tourism, this book is also a useful
addition to the shelf of any policy maker or practitioner within
the industries.
