Terrorism, Tourism and the End of Hospitality in the 'West'

"This book explores how the contemporary threat of terrorism is eroding the concept of hospitality in the West. Going beyond the immediate effects of terrorism that are daily portrayed in the media and have shaped the foreign policy agenda of politicians in Europe and the US, this study explores the conceptual framework of how terrorism emerged and expanded within the West and shows how it interacts with, and targets, leisure consumerism and the international hospitality industry." --Cover Front Matter....Pages i-vii Introduction....Pages 1-8 The Other in Western Civilization....Pages 9-30 The Concept of Civility and Law....Pages 31-55 The Rise of the Nation-State and Free Transit....Pages 57-79 The Problem of Terrorism....Pages 81-104 The Travel and Tourism Industry....Pages 105-126 The Globalization of Fear....Pages 127-151 How Terrorism Changed the Ways of Interpreting Hospitality....Pages 153-169 Conclusion: Hospitality in the New Millennium....Pages 171-176 Back Matter....Pages 177-204 Maximiliano E.
