Abstract

This article mobilizes insights from political ecology analysis. Specifically, it focuses on how power asymmetries between stakeholder groups may or may not produce uneven socio-environmental outcomes in the tourism-water nexus in Barbados. Small Island Developing States (SIDS) like Barbados, which obtains an estimated 90% of its water from groundwater aquifers, are particularly vulnerable to changing patterns of precipitation. While the data collected are preliminary, they point towards the production of uneven socio-environmental outcomes based on very prevalent power asymmetries.

巴巴多斯旅游发展和水资源公平的政治生态学分析

本文运用了政治生态分析的见解。具体而言，它侧重于利益相关者群体之间的权力不对称如何可能或可能不会在巴巴多斯的旅游-水关系中产生不平衡的社会环境结果。像巴巴多斯这样的小岛屿发展中国家(SIDS)，其大约90%的水来自地下水含水层，特别容易受到降水模式变化的影响。虽然收集的数据是初步的，但它们指出了基于非常普遍的权力不对称而产生的不平衡的社会环境结果。

期刊介绍： Journal of Political Ecology is a peer reviewed journal (ISSN: 1073-0451), one of the longest standing, Gold Open Access journals in the social sciences. It began in 1994 and welcomes submissions in English, French and Spanish. We encourage research into the linkages between political economy and human environmental impacts across different locations and academic disciplines. The approach used in the journal is political ecology, not other fields, and authors should state clearly how their work contributes to, or extends, this approach. See, for example, the POLLEN network, or the ENTITLE blog.
