Christian J. Jäggi:

Tourism Before, During And After Corona. Economic and Social Perspectives.
Wiesbaden: Springer Edition 2022. 141 pages. ISBN 978-3-658-39181-2,
softcover, also as ebook.

About this book:

International and domestic tourism changed not only as a result of the Corona pandemic, but even before. As a result of Covid-19, international and global tourism has temporarily collapsed in most countries, but in many countries - such as Austria or Switzerland - domestic tourism has increased. The big question is whether the slump in global tourism is temporary or whether an actual trend reversal is on the horizon. In favour of the former is the fact that growing middle classes in Asia, but also Latin America and Africa, have greater financial means and more and more people are vaccinated against Covid-19; in favour of the latter are the many ecological constraints and the fight against climate change, but also the emergence of new mutations in the Corona virus. Based on the development of tourism since the turn of the millennium, these and similar questions about tourism and its short- and medium-term perspectives will be discussed.

The content:
- Tourism - a brief history
- Economic importance of tourism
- Ecological consequences of tourism
- Tourism and infrastructure
- Everybody wants to travel - (almost) nobody wants the tourists
- Right to mobility?
- Approaches and new ideas

This book is a translation of the original German 1st edition Tourismus vor, während und nach Corona by Christian J. Jäggi, published by Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden GmbH, part of Springer Nature in 2021.

Christian J. Jäggi:
Nutrition, Food Markets and Agriculture. Economic Issues Against the Background of Globalization
Wiesbaden: Springer Edition 2021. 130 pages. ISBN 978-3-658-34671-3,  softcover, also as ebook.
About this book:

Today, nutrition is mainly discussed under nutritional, medical-health or ideological aspects (e.g. vegetarianism, veganism, etc.). Although the food industry represents one of the most important markets, questions of food production, agriculture, food trade and biodiversity are mostly discussed under national auspices. Not only on the producer side, but also from the consumer perspective, food markets - although still nationally structured - have become more and more global markets, which can be seen, for example, in the development of food commodity prices. In addition, large food corporations are pursuing the strategy of standardizing the entire value chains in the agricultural and food sectors - under their control, mind you. The book addresses economic issues related to food production, agriculture, food trade and biodiversity. Alternatives to traditional agriculture, factory farming, and biodiversity loss are discussed - and reflected upon from an economic perspective. Particular attention is paid to aspects of globalization.
This book is a translation of the original German 1st edition Ernährung, Nahrungsmittelmärkte und Landwirtschaft by Christian J. Jäggi, published by Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden GmbH, part of Springer Nature in 2018.
