Opis

There is an ever-growing importance of events in modern society and until now existing literature on events has been dominated by the economic perspective. This book addresses the social and cultural side of events and explores the role they have in fostering change and community development. It examines the transformative function of events in the context of development studies--as phenomena that can promote and facilitate human development, including social, societal and individual change. This book provides vital and timely exploration and encourages the study of more diverse themes within event management.
