Tourism in European Microstates and Dependencies carefully examines
the nuances and realities associated with tourism, social and
economic development, geography, and geopolitics of Europe's
smallest microstates and dependencies. Through case study-based
material, the book covers the smallest states of Europe, the
European dependencies inside Europe, and other unique territorial
anomalies and unrecognized de facto states. It looks at how,
besides small size and economy of scale, one of the characteristics
that connects these unique states and territories is their
dependence on tourism, or their desire to develop it, for their
socio-economic well-being. This book provides a thorough overview
of tourism-related challenges and opportunities associated with
smallness/scale, limited population size, economic development,
cross-border cooperation (dependency) with larger neighbour states,
relationships with the European Union, geopolitical challenges,
questions of sovereignty, vulnerability, and touristic importance
on the world stage. It provides a comprehensive examination of the
smallest states and state-like entities in Europe. It examines the
social, economic, and political importance of tourism in some of
the smallest countries and territories in the world. It is the
first book of its kind to look systematically at small, yet
extremely important, areas of Europe from tourism, socio-economic,
and geopolitical perspectives. Coverage includes Andorra,
Liechtenstein, Monaco, San Marino, the Vatican City, Åland,
Akrotiri and Dhekelia, the Faroe Islands, Gibraltar, Guernsey, Isle
of Man, Jersey, Svalbard, Llívia, Campione d'Italia, Transnistria,
Abkhazia, and South Ossetia, as well as several other enclaves,
autonomous areas, and unrecognized 'micro-nations'. This book will
be an invaluable resource for post-graduate students and research
scholars in the areas of tourism, geography, political science, and
European studies.
