Managing, Marketing, and Maintaining Maritime and Coastal Tourism
The extraordinary beauty, cultural wealth, and diversity of EU's coastal areas have designated them as one of the preferred destinations for many holiday-goers. The numerous businesses that operate in these heavily traveled areas have to struggle with other similarly-minded companies and with providing sustainable practices for the people and surrounding area. Managing, Marketing, and Maintaining Maritime and Coastal Tourism is a pivotal reference source that provides vital material on the application of multidisciplinary and interdisciplinarity logic surrounding sea tourism. While highlighting topics such as destination marketing, event management, and global business, this publication explores the dynamic capabilities and the methods of overall management of hospitality by the sea. This book is ideally designed for marketers, advertisers, tour directors, cruise directors, travel agents, port managers, coastal cities managers, event coordinators, academics, students, researchers, policymakers, public managers, and tourism entrepreneurs.

Dependency and Crisis in Brazil and Argentina
In the two largest countries in South America, successive waves of structural reforms adopted in the name of development invariably have ended in disappointment. The promise of development never seems to materialize. Dependency and Crisis in Brazil and Argentinaexamines why. Instead of looking for policy failures, F. Antunes de Oliveira’s focus is on the parameters of the public debate about “development” itself. An unfruitful dispute between neoliberalism and neodevelopmentalism has dominated Brazilian and Argentine political economy debates to the detriment of both countries. Antunes de Oliveira presents a comprehensive theoretical and empirical critique of the neoliberal and neodevelopmentalist structural reform cycles in Brazil and Argentina and applies insights from dependency theory to craft an alternative political economy framework for the analysis of development challenges.
