The book opens with an account of recent developments in the
economic, political and cultural sociology of international tourism
and goes on to analyse the relationships between international
tourism and the broad economic determinants of the world system.
The book aims to understand "leisure migration" in two principal
contexts: the socio-economic hierarchies of society, and the legacy
of east-west political alliances. This novel theoretical synthesis
combines data at the global, continental, and regional levels of
tourism, focusing particularly on Austria and Hungary - one of the
most exciting areas of Europe - where the social, political,
cultural and economic boundaries of the emerging European
integration are being contested and redrawn today.
In adopting an eclectic research strategy, including historical
narrative, content analysis, linguistic history, statistical
modelling, and fieldwork observation, the book breaks new ground
with regard to the empirical material it covers, and is a timely
and relevant contribution to the advancement of this debate.
