Modernism Without Modernity: The Rise of Modernist Architecture in Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina, 1890-1940 Abstract : Why did machine-age modernist architecture diffuse to Latin America so quickly after its rise in Continental Europe during the 1910s and 1920s? Why was it a more successful movement in relatively backward Brazil and Mexico than in more affluent and industrialized Argentina? After reviewing the historical development of architectural modernism in these three countries, several explanations are tested against the comparative evidence. Standards of living, industrialization, sociopolitical upheaval, and the absence of working-class consumerism are found to be limited as explanations. As in Europe, Modernism

  • (SUS-ISLAND) Greening of the Tour Operators' Value Chain
    SWITCH Africa Green is funded by the European Union Sustainable Island Mauritius - (SUS-ISLAND) Greening of the Tour Operators’ Value Chain BACKGROUND Every year, more than 1.3 Million tourists visit the Island of Mauritius. The Tourism Industry contributed more than 12% to the total GDP and provided more than 30,000 direct employment in 2017. The Mauritius Tourism Development Plan sets the target that Mauritius acquires the “Green Destination” status by 2030. Promoting sustainable tourism that reduces the negative environmental impacts, improves positive sustainability impacts, especially on local communities, while improving the sectors’ competitiveness is key to green growth of Mauritius. Collaborating Centre on Mauritius Tourism Authority (MTA) is a parastatal body operating under the aegis of Sustainable Consumption and the Ministry of Tourism (MoT). It aims to promote sustainable development of the Production (CSCP), Germany - tourism industry. MTA and MoT have developed the sustainable tourism standard Coordinator (MS165) and launched support scheme to a scheme to support Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) according to the eco-label criteria. Going further to that, the MTA has embarked on the Sustainable Island Mauritius Project so as to assist Tour Operators (who drive the most of tourist business in Mauritius) in greening its value chain through an innovative methodology which is the pro-handprint framework also referred to as the Mauphi Framework. This is being done in partnership with CSCP from Germany. The handprint method piloted by the CSCP serves as a promising solution, as it measures and communicates the positive sustainability impacts of products to strengthen innovations that create positive impacts (handprint) and reduce negative impacts (footprint).

  • The Development of Libyan- Tunisian Bilateral Relations: a Critical Study on the Role of Ideology
    THE DEVELOPMENT OF LIBYAN- TUNISIAN BILATERAL RELATIONS: A CRITICAL STUDY ON THE ROLE OF IDEOLOGY Submitted by Almabruk Khalifa Kirfaa to the University of Exeter As a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Politics In December 2014 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature: Almabruk Kirfaa………………………………………………………….. i Abstract Libyan-Tunisian bilateral relations take place in a context shaped by particular historical factors in the Maghreb over the past two centuries. Various elements and factors continue to define the limitations and opportunities present for regimes and governments to pursue hostile or negative policies concerning their immediate neighbours. The period between 1969 and 2010 provides a rich area for the exploration of inter-state relations between Libya and Tunisia during the 20th century and in the first decade of the 21st century. Ideologies such as Arabism, socialism, Third Worldism, liberalism and nationalism, dominated the Cold War era, which saw two opposing camps: the capitalist West versus the communist East. Arab states were caught in the middle, and many identified with one side over the other. generating ideological rivalries in the Middle East and North Africa. The anti-imperialist sentiments dominating Arab regimes and their citizens led many statesmen and politicians to wage ideological struggles against their former colonial masters and even neighbouring states.

Since its early life, man got used to movement from one place to the other to seek after, in the first place, livelihood, and then try hard to realize the mental and intellectual delight. But regarding the reference to the word tourism, this term expresses a term used in the Latin languages. In the linguistic concept of the term tourism, we find that it means wandering and the term touring the land means he went and moved along the surface of the earth.1 Key words: tourism, life, livelihood, earth I.

Seetanah B* Faculty of Law & Management, University of Mauritius Reduit Email: [email protected] Juwaheer T D Faculty of Law & Management, University of Mauritius Reduit Email: [email protected] Lamport M J Faculty of Law & Management, University of Mauritius Reduit Email: [email protected] Rojid S Email: [email protected] Sannassee R V Faculty of Law & Management, University of Mauritius Reduit Email: [email protected] Subadar Agathee U Faculty of Law & Management, University of Mauritius Reduit Email: [email protected] Paper Accepted on 07 January 2011 Abstract This paper investigates the significance of infrastructure as a factor in destination development. The classical demand for international tourism function is extended to include a proxy for infrastructure. An application involving the island of Mauritius is presented whereby total tourist arrivals as well as arrivals from 89 B Seetanah , T D Juwaheer , M J Lamport, S Rojid, R V Sannassee & U Subadar Agathee Europe/America, Asia and Africa are modelled. The findings show that tourists are sensitive to the infrastructure of the island, particularly those from Europe/America and Asia. Tourism infrastructure, income of tourists, distance, and relative prices are important ingredients in their own respect in the tourism demand equation. Keywords: Infrastructure, Tourism, Dynamic Panel data *For correspondences and reprints 1. INTRODUCTION There exists a significant literature investigating the determinants of tourism flows (see Lim, 1997). Income in country of origin, the cost of travel, relative prices, exchange rates and tourism infrastructure are among the most prominent determinants of tourism flows in the existing empirical literature.
