Abstract

This chapter seeks to engage in a more complex, critical, theoretically curious, and interdisciplinary discussion about tourism, governance and resilience. It seeks to challenge readers’ assumptions and excavate meanings underpinning commonly used terms like sustainability and tourism and governance. It is intended to provoke deep thinking, and to challenge embedded ways of conceptualising and operationalising these concepts. Scientific framing of twentieth century scientific thought, late modern capitalism and the Anthropocene provide the backcloth for thinking about how governance for sustainability must change if we are to confront the major global challenges.
