Dear Colleagues, Please see reminder of call for papers for a special edition of Event Management. Apologies for any cross posting. Journal of Event Management - An International Journal Call for Papers Journal Special Issue ~ Festivals and Events: Looking Beyond Economics Aim Increasingly the demands of hosting and managing local, national and international Festival and Events reach far beyond direct economic objectives. They extend to other imperatives, including urban regeneration and reviving and refocusing urban and rural communities. Identity, image, belief, faith, social value, social capital, social assimilation, stakeholder participation, pride, equality, marketing, geography, perception and culture are just some of the additional elements being associated with the process, practice and purpose of festival and events. The nature of festival and event management study, research and - less often - application has thus developed into a multi-disciplinary academic and practical endeavour. The aim of this special issue is to present new perspectives - from around the world - on current theoretical and applied examples of research and analysis which go beyond economic depictions of festivals and events. Topics may include - but are not be restricted to: Policy and Politics * The role of government in Festivals and Event - policy, planning, management * Social dimensions of festivals and events - youth, education, community and culture, social inclusion and access * Cultural dimensions of festivals and event - locally, nationally, globally * Arts and cultural development through festivals and events Evaluation and Issues * Festival and Events triple bottom line evaluation * Festivals/ Events and Destination Image and Marketing * Festival/ Event attribute analysis * Festivals/ Events and technology * Festival/Event and tourism interface * Events and Sport development * Festival/Event Case Examples Criteria for acceptance In addition to indicating a quality of research rigour to warrant inclusion manuscripts will be reviewed with respect of their adherence to the thematic areas of research as highlighted above.
