The growth of the events industry brings with it concerns of
sustainable management, the sharing of available resources, and
ensuring that people and places are not over-exploited. While the
environmental and economic dimensions of sustainability have
attracted a reasonable attention in the study of events, the social
and cultural aspects of sustainability have been largely neglected.
This book brings together emerging critical perspectives,
innovative conceptual frameworks and contemporary case studies.
Events cannot be isolated from the actions of humans and this is
reflected in the emphasis on people and society throughout. The
next wave of sustainable discourse requires a critical synthesis of
information and this book is the first to address the need for more
critical approaches and a broader way of thinking about events and
sustainability. Divided into five thematic parts, the contributions
delve into understanding the mainstream stances towards
sustainability, the role events play in indigenous cultures and in
diasporic communities, and the extent to which events influence the
public discourse and civic identity. Sustainability is also
examined from a strategic perspective in the events sector, and
consideration is given to issues such as corporate social
responsibility, greenwashing, and the power of mulit-stakeholder
alliances in promoting sustainability goals. Written by leading
academics, this timely and important volume will be valuable
reading for all students, researchers and academics interested in
Events and the global issue of Sustainability.
