Passport sales: How island microstates use strategic management to organise the new economic citizenship industry
Passport sales programmes have concentrated in island microstates. This paper analyses organisational factors and strategic management leading to comparative success or failure of these economic citizenship programmes. Each passport sales business in the Pacific islands has had a brief life-the majority continuing for a few years, at most. They evolved within a precarious and disorderly environment-frequently with a fast ascent, before they crash…
Flags of Convenience and Global Capitalism
The flags of convenience (FOCs) shipping system promotes laissez-faire global capitalist development and has become dominant in providing the legal framework for ocean commerce in recent decades, as it has largely replaced the national flag shipping system. FOCs reduce the powers of nation-states in taxing, owning, and regulating property; controlling competition; setting wage rates and working conditions; and providing environmental protection. …
Citizenship for Sale: Passports of Convenience from Pacific Island Tax Havens
Pacific Island tax havens have apparently collected $153,450,000 from (mostly ethnic Chinese) purchasers of passports. This paper considers the evolution of passport sales in Tonga, Samoa, the Marshall Islands, Vanuatu and Nauru and internal and international opposition to them. Tension exists between different conceptions of citizenship within the world–system. Sales reflect classical liberal, individualistic, free market conceptions of citizens…

Norfolk Island and Its Tax Haven
The first Pacific Islands offshore financial centre was born in 1966 on Norfolk Island. This paper analyses the historical trajectory of Norfolk Island’s tax haven in terms of its dialectical tensions with the Australian federal government — tensions between self‐determination and subordination which emerge from Norfolk’s anomalous status as a self‐governing external territory of Australia. Promoters of Norfolk Island’s tax haven have seen its po…

Tourism Policy and Planning: Evaluating the Life Cycle Model in Relation to Queensland and Hawaii
This paper examines the most influential model of tourism development, the life cycle model, which has defined a ‘normal science’ of evolution for tourism destinations. The model is internally coherent, logical, easily intelligible and was used extensively as a guide to predicting development. For all destinations it postulates a path of steady growth until stagnation is reached. The model's widespread influence has discouraged policy and plannin…
