“…In this sense, institutions should integrate these groups of vulnerable people vertically with the different levels of government and horizontally with the actors in the society (Lang and Fink 2019). Furthermore, it is required to develop governance systems that promote participation based on the inclusion of the value systems of those who live in rural areas and the formal and informal institutions in which they operate (Addinsall et al 2016;Cederholm Björklund 2020).…”

“…Studies should continue analyzing how insecurity affects rural business activity and provide solutions based on collective actions to face the adverse effects on business development that can cause violent conflicts (Escandón-Barbosa et al 2019;Ekanem et al 2021). Likewise, social entrepreneurship and governance should be considered simultaneously since the governance of these rural territories requires the inclusion of formal and informal institutions that promote social entrepreneurship (Addinsall et al 2016).…”

Most entrepreneurship studies have an urban focus, and it is studied mainly from the perspective of opportunity exploitation. Rural entrepreneurship presents different characteristics, and it requires analysis from a resource-based view since this kind of entrepreneurial behavior takes place in rural communities under resource constraints. The sustainable livelihood perspective represents a relevant framework in rural entrepreneurship, considering resources and capacities to face poverty in rural areas. Therefore, this study presents a literature review to identify current and emerging issues in rural entrepreneurship from a sustainable livelihood framework. The literature review identifies that the main concepts involved in rural entrepreneurship and sustainable livelihood are women, poverty alleviation, youth, social entrepreneurship, and institutions. Likewise, social capital and human capital prevail as the most relevant capitals in the analyzed documents. The study offers research opportunities in emerging issues related to social entrepreneurship, governance and institutions, livelihood growth, and eco-entrepreneurship for extending the boundaries of rural entrepreneurship from the sustainable livelihood framework.

“…Despite immense recovery processes and an improvement of roads, the level of infrastructure on Tanna remains low, and the majority of tourism businesses are small, and family or community operated. While the involvement in the cash economy is increasing, many people rely on traditional economic practices and natural resources for their livelihoods (Addinsall, Glencross, Rihai, Kalomor, Palmer, Nichols, & Smith, 2016) Table 2). Individual semi-structured interviews are commonly used to explore new and complex topics (Jennings, 2010).…”

Tourism is strongly interlinked with the natural and social environment, in particular in destinations around the Pacific. These environments are vulnerable to climate change which impacts on the social–ecological system of destinations. Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) uses ecosystems to manage the risks of climate change. However, a gap remains in understanding how the tourism sector can use EbA to create destination-wide benefits. The destination EbA framework presented here aims to address this gap by focusing on well-being and climate risk reduction. The framework is applied to a Pacific case study site, Tanna Island in Vanuatu, by drawing on primary qualitative data. Results highlight that EbA offers an approach for the tourism sector to create holistic benefits to destinations. Several constraints to successful implementation, and how these may be overcome, are identified. The article contributes by providing a framework for other destinations which aim to create benefits through tourism.

“…The Government in Vanuatu has been pressured for some time by external forces emphasising neoliberal discourses of 'growth', 'efficiency', 'reform', and 'governance', while only a handful of NGOs and researchers are challenging current economic and trade policy arrangements in the South Pacific (Addinsall et al, 2015a;Addinsall et al, 2015b;Addinsall, 2017;Anderson & Lee 2010;Simo, 2010;Regenvanu, 2009). The current system as well as external and internal change drivers (Table 2) make it virtually impossible for Ni Vanuatu to compete with foreign investors in the tourism industry, with evidence of little benefits from the tourism industry flowing to Ni Vanuatu.…”
