Unpacking risk aversion and uncertainty avoidance
Tourists’ behaviours are significantly affected by their risk aversion and uncertainty avoidance. However, several studies found that these two traits are often used interchangeably. Using partial-least-squares structural equation modelling to analyse data obtained from 386 Chinese residents, this paper unpacks how two concepts relate to tourists’ personality traits and their various information search behaviours. While results confirm similariti…

Research with, by, for and about Children
There is a need for critically informed studies that include children's perspectives on the role of children in disaster contexts, given the increased incidence of disasters resulting from the global forces of climate change. Three case studies are presented from two different disaster contexts in Australia and New Zealand, where the notion of child empowerment fits within the broader political culture of liberal democracy. Each of these case stu…

The English-language Press Networks of East Asia, 1918-1945
This study is the first to assess the combined significance of the English-language newspapers of China, Japan and Korea in the period 1918-45. It not only frames the English-language press networks in the international media history of East Asia but also relates them to media developments in the 'British world' linking Fleet Street to the Empire and Dominions, and to the rise of the United States as a broker of international opinion on and in th…
Unnoticed miracles
This article examines the nature of relationships between funders and applied theatre companies. Recognising that this is a murky terrain where competing agendas and goals can jeopardise the effectiveness of applied theatre programmes, the article traces the history of the funding relationship between Applied Theatre Consultants Ltd and Child, Youth and Family. In retelling the tangled web of the relationship, we arrive at an understanding of how…

Making the everyday extraordinary
This article examines a national applied theatre programme coordinated through the Department of Child, Youth and Family in New Zealand. The programme uses dramatic processes to create opportunities for communities to discuss and find their own answers to the issues of child abuse and family violence. The programme utilises a sophisticated in-role use of a video game about a dysfunctional family to provide the necessary distance and protection to…
Information Communication Technology Revolutionizing Tourism
This paper identifies a number of key changes in Information Communication Technologies (ICT) that gradually revolutionize the tourism industry. E-tourism and the Internet in particular support the interactivity between tourism enterprises and consumers and as a result they re-engineer the entire process of developing, managing and marketing tourism products and destinations. All stakeholders related to tourism and hospitality, therefore, gradual…

This article examines the formation between c.1890 and 1937 of three networks of English-language newspapers in China and Japan. Of these, one network was closely associated with the American-owned Japan Advertiser , and another with the British-owned Japan Chronicle . The Gaimush l (Ministry of Foreign Affairs) assembled the third network to promote an understanding of Japan and her place in the world and to check the influence of the other two.…

Privatisation and Welfare Services
This paper traces some of the persistent criticisms which have attended welfare provision in Australia and many other western industrialised nations over the past twenty years. Clearly, the most concerted attacks on the welfare system have come from the radical Right, who are becoming more adept at manipulating and hijacking the language and sentiments of supporters of welfare. The paper argues that the welfare crisis debate, of which privatisati…
