Abstract
The introductory chapter presents the aim and the structure of the book. Each chapter of the book is presented with the key statements about the topic it deals with. The whole book is focused on different drivers of marginalization and, considering that the process is bidirectional, on drivers of demarginalization as well. The authors present their topics from their own perspectives, but they all deal with either areas, societies or social groups that are facing some kind of marginality and have to cope with it. The prevailing drivers of (de)marginalization included in this book can be grouped into four categories as the title suggests: nature, tourism, ethnicity and other drivers of marginalization. That does not mean that these are the most important or most frequent drivers, they are just those that have been most often dealt with at the 2015 and 2016 annual conferences of the IGU Commission Marginalization, Globalization and Regional and Local Responses.
