in energy and tourism development in Norway and Iceland
by bridging the social movement societies (SMSoc) and the players
and arenas perspectives. Results are based on field observation and
interviews, as well as web-based textual analysis and a preliminary
online survey. Results show that Norway is an institutionalized and
multi-level social movement society with a mix of professionalized
and grassroots local, national, and international organization.
Iceland,
by contrast, is a national and episodic social movement
society where movement players operate at a national scale and
engage in project-specific collaboration or opposition in tourism or
energy development arenas. This analysis demonstrates the value
of bridging the SMSoc and players and arenas perspectives for
international comparative social movements research.

We examine this assumption by analyzing discourse networks and organizational networks that connect tourism and environmentalism in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. Using a combination of interviews, field observation, and web-based data, we ask: Is there an alignment of tourism and environmental discourse regarding human interaction with and use of coastal environments? Are there meaningful organizational ties between tourism and environmental organizations? We conclude that there is little indication that nature-oriented tourism is working to produce substantial changes to our broader political ecology.

Our findings are based on research carried out from 2011-2014 which involved interviews with key stakeholders, online content analysis (websites and social media), and analyses of mass media content, reports, and scholarly and popular literature.
