I am working on various aspects of the political economy of tourism such as the notion of the right to tourism and the structural contradictions that underlie the growth of tourism. I am also working on the notion of the triple crisis in tourism and how tourism expresses the crisis tendencies within international capitalism.
I am also interested of how the social sciences can lead to social change following the credit crunch by developing the tensions that are to be found within its tendency to create a fragmented knowledge.
