Abstract
This article explores the regulation of urban tourism in Barcelona, one of metropolises of Europe most affected by tourism. The case study begins by examining the formation of the tourism „growth coalition“ that emerged after the 1992 Olympics, establishing a tourism-oriented local regime of accumulation. The regime was given credence by a discourse that claimed it would benefit the whole city. With the growing externalities that the tourism growth engine produced, this regime became increasingly criticised. Indeed it helped put in power a political coalition that promised to end the consensus with the growth coalition. A final chapter discusses the new local administration’s approaches to regulating tourism, and analyses the effects of this change on the hegemony of the growth coalition with regard to residents’ interests.
期刊介绍:
Die Geographische Zeitschrift gehört seit ihrem Beginn im Jahr 1895 zu den führenden deutschsprachigen Zeitschriften ihres Faches. Heute widmet sich die Zeitschrift in meist deutschsprachigen aber auch englischen Beiträgen den Gegenwartsfragen der Anthropogeographie. Als international renommiertes Fachmedium ist sie einem hohen theoretischen und methodischen Anspruch verpflichtet. Die Qualität und Aktualität der Beiträge wird durch internationale Sachverständige — als "refereed journal" — garantiert. Gerade indem sie die traditionellen Grenzen ihres Faches überschreitet, trägt die Geographische Zeitschrift maßgeblich zur Weiterentwicklung und Fortschritt der Anthropogeographie bei.
