Ecotourism, Sea Turtles, And Livelihoods : Adaptation And Resistance To Development And Conservation In Mexico And Brazil, David Ivan Rezende Fleischer
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
This dissertation's objective is to understand how two communities, Praia do Forte, in Brazil and Mazunte, in Mexico engage in development and conservation practices through work, protest and discourses.

Previous studies have examined these …

To demonstrate this thesis, the text has three mutually supporting aims. First, it seeks to further our understanding of ideology as a form of political thought, and to develop an appropriate theory of ideology. Second, it critiques the academic literature on Irish Republicanism and, when necessary, the academic literature on Northern Irish political thought. Third, it is a conceptual morphology of Irish Republicanism. Through an examination of Irish Republicanism, the dissertation shows …
