The discussions revolve around the importance of multi-sectoral approaches and the encouragement of stakeholder involvement in PTC. I find Dr. Forrer's argument about the framework for good global citizenship to be extremely important. However, I ha…
I agree with the fact that 'tactile' tourism but let's not forget about certain cases where virtual tourism can be more beneficial. For instance, recently, I saw Dancing Ink's project of demonstrating the Islamic culture and societies in Second Life…
In total agreement with Joshua's arguments, I find Kimberly Eaason's title to be an effective one: Director of Strategic Relationships. Now, the most complicated process in social sciences usually turns out to identify the stakeholders: who will be…
Thank you very much for your reply.
Maybe further research can be carried out in order to find how to accelerate the gradual change of perception, as I believe, with the widespread negative perception (mainly because of the increase in media attent…
I have two questions regarding Don Mayer's article.
1- As it is also mentioned in the article, the use of private armies has a long history but caught attention after their operations in Iraq. Can it be due to their increased size and mandate in Ir…
Combining this question with your previous question, I would like to have my say on the topic.
Firstly, I believe defining CSR as part of the strategy and in fact trying to bring the understanding CSR to conflict environments can be labeled as the…
I don't know whether the attached file was available somewhere on this website but I found it while I was doing a small literature review about economic freedom and political freedom.
This is an empirical research over the subject carried out by We…
I think this partnership with local economies is an important point in terms of perception. Borany Penh was also telling us that it is possible for locals to see all these attempts as intervention. In the case of businesses, they might be perceived…
I used to be skeptical about the effects of tourism but throughout this conference, my ideas started to change. I will disagree to an extend with Vito on one point: the short term improvements of tourism. Vito is definitely correct when he argues fo…
I just wanted to share my appreciation of the World Peace Tours.
I have always been skeptical about Tourism as a tool to build communication bridges between society, as a tool to create mutual understanding, and within the concept of this web confe…
Would I be too optimistic if I argue that economic development might also alleviate the severe conflict situations? As far as I am concerned, at least, with the help of economic development, although the conflicts cannot be solved but at least armed…
This difference statement, in my point of view, also answers the questions about Mozambique and USA/South Africa and Rwanda. (The questions were asked earlier this week). When there is an ongoing or recently ended conflict in your lands, the numbers…
I most definitely agree with Elsa's and Donald's optimistic comments about today's economy.
I see "asking businesses to promote peace" not as an extension of CSR but as a paradigm shift. And the speakers obviously prove that it is possible for any…
Addressing the second issue will as well contribute to peace, I believe. In fact, a decent infrastructure (let it be the energy resources or clean water or just transportation infrastructure) will highly impact the conflicts. Shortly, there will be…
I still have a long way to go before I read all the comments but I wanted to stop for a moment and write down my thoughts about UNGC. I have also seen some similar skeptic comments here, too - businesses not really willing to support peace, or busin…
