Part Three: Managing Change Managing/Governance of change: Theoretical approaches and practical challengesRegulatory Approaches - International Case ExamplesAround the world, governments are responding to the Airbnb phenomenon in a variety of ways. Some are deliberately refraining from proactive agency completely, or at least until a regulatory and governance framework has been established or public consultation has concluded. Others have banned short-term leasing of residential accommodation, or restricted the number of days allowed, with and without registration requirements.Chapter 7 captures destination governance and tourism policy responses in nine international destinations (London, New York, San Francisco, Barcelona, Rome, Berlin, Hong Kong, Amsterdam and Singapore) with the aim to not only contribute to a better understanding of different response strategies but also to explore instruments that have been applied to deal with the phenomenon of private short term rentals like Airbnb.A Policy Framework to Deal with AirbnbBased on the analysis presented in Chapter 7, Chapter 8 introduces a policy toolbox model that offers an overview of different instruments that are available for governments to deal with a private short-term rental phenomenon like Airbnb. This policy matrix can assist governments in better understanding the different response strategies and might also guide decision makers in finding an appropriate approach to dealing with the Airbnb phenomenon in their respective jurisdiction. Disruptive Innovation - Looking ForwardIn the final chapter we will synthesise theoretical and practical contributions and conclusions drawn from Western Australia and experiences around the world.

Описание: 1962 Border War: Sino-Indian Territorial Disputes and Beyond studies the historical antecedents of the origin and developments of the border dispute between the two Asian giants—India and China. It investigates why these newborn republics, despite their close ties in the international politics, chose a path of a large-scale military encounter in the winter of 1962. This book uses the classified Henderson Brooks-Bhagat Report and the CIA Staff Study Report to answer this question. The book debates how far internal bureaucratic hurdles, political intrigues and partisan interest in New Delhi have factored against Nehru’s China Policy. Further, this study reveals the impact of Cold War politics, CIA operations on the frontiers and the US strategy of projecting the Tibet factor on these two nations. The key significance of this study is that it reveals the historical factors behind the Sino-Indian frequent and ongoing skirmishes along the border.
