Mounting efforts to improve care and promote healthy aging throughout society and across the care continuum have created unique opportunities for gerontological nursing practice. Population aging has invoked a multitude of responses among all levels of international and national organizations, foundations, health care, and government to meet the needs and promote preferences of older adults. Large-scale programs by the World Health Organization, The John A. Hartford Foundation, Institute for Health-care Improvement, and Trust for America's Health have galvanized to advance the momentum of age-friendly communities, health care, and public health. Gerontological nurses can leverage this growing interest in aging by enhancing their knowledge about age-friendly movements, influencing these movements with their expertise in evidence-based practices, and advancing their own competencies in caring for older adults in any setting.

peer-reviewed ; How often have we heard the old adage that sport and politics should not mix? Indeed, the New Year was only days old when the International Committee of the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games warned that athletes engaging in political acts of protest would face disciplinary action (Guardian 2020). The editors of this special issue of Managing Sport and Leisure insist that sport has always been political. Taking Association Football as its focus, this special issue is devoted to "Football and (P)politics" and was inspired by the Football, Politics and Popular Culture conference held at the University of Limerick in November 2016. While capital 'P', Politics is concerned with government, world trade agreements and global capitalism, politics with a small 'p' focuses on the everyday micro-politics of life and our every-day decisions. ; peer-reviewed

The article aims to show the main political-geographic trends of the 2020 parliamentary elections in Georgia. The political systems of the post-Soviet counties are still imperfect and fragile. Although international observers recognised the vote results in Georgia as legitimate, many opposition parties boycotted the parliament for almost six months. It took several western officials to engage in regulating the post-election crisis. The work focuses on analysing turnout and voting patterns pointing to the changes that occurred in the last decade. A geographical study of elections enables one to identify the merits and drawbacks of the electoral process from the regional standpoint. The findings of the work underline the complexity of the election outcomes. While certain legal and political changes bring Georgia closer to European democracies, the country still lags in terms of several electoral/geographical features.

This book provides a 'snapshot' of contemporary Pacific youth and their futures amidst social change. The youth population of Pacific countries is increasing. It is therefore more important than ever to research their experiences so as to better inform policy. This cohort is not only the future of the Pacific, but a large part of its present story. Geopolitical rivalry between the West and Asia, rising decolonisation movements and the effects of climate change are crucial contexts in which Pacific youth are being socialised. In 12 Chapters from a variety of perspectives from across the region, this book captures the everyday lives, ambitions and challenges of our youth. The main takeaway is that in an ever increasingly interconnected world, via technological advancements and frequent travel, Pacific youth are more engaged in international discourse, than ever before.

Abstract The COVID-19 (commonly referred to as the Coronavirus) outbreak and its massive and swift spread halted mobility globally on an unprecedented scale and substantially and abruptly slowed down the consumption of tourism. This chapter aims to provide a brief assessment of this pandemic which has become a health, economic and geopolitical crisis with direct and enormous effects on the tourism industry at international, national and local levels. It also deals with how enforced degrowth and slow consumption ensued from the unprecedented lockdown and social distancing practices by government have provided unique opportunity for the reset of tourism. The chapter also discusses the challenges of the pandemic in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and is finished by critical discussion of transformative discourse shaped in the aftermath of this outbreak in the wider academic community.

In the framework of international politics, the economic dimension has a central role in relations between countries. The economic dimension, particularly investment, is a determinant factor and often becomes a global measure in achieving national development. This has also become President Jokowi's big ambition since he came to power in Indonesia. Various investments were brought in in the framework of national development and the implementation of the Nawa Cita ideals. The foreign policy which is very inclined to attract investors continues. Deregulation of domestic policies was also carried out in order to welcome investment. However, in fact, the investment that Jokowi brought and carried out did not change the lives of Indonesian people. Economic growth predicted to skyrocket has actually stagnated in the 5 years of his reign. The absorption of labor has also decreased. Not to mention other problems caused by the investment made.

Culture and tourism have always been related, but with blurred interpretations of the empirical relationship between those phenomena. This paper estimates the impact of different cultural indicators on tourism development in 27 EU member states for the period 2008–2018, by using dynamic panel data. The results indicate that the number of UNESCO Heritage Sites do not have a significant influence on the number of tourism overnights, whereas there are significant positive effects on international tourism receipts and tourism employment. Moreover, the additional cultural sector specifics considered in the analysis; government expenditure on culture and employment in culture, showed to have a significant positive influence on all three tourism indicators used in the research. In addition, the research results indicate that the real GDP per capita and the level of human capital are significant drivers of tourism development.

International audience ; Comment les associations d'éducation populaire favorisent-elles l'inclusion des seniors en matière d'éducation aux médias et à l'information (EMI) ? De 2015 à 2019, le festival de court métrage de Troyes organisé par la Ligue de l'enseignement a mis en place des dispositifs qui permettent de découvrir les nouveaux médias : exposition sur le rapport entre vie privée et internet, masterclass sur les réseaux sociaux numériques, concours de réalisation de films au moyen d'un smartphone, diffusion de créations du web et séance de cinéma interactif. Cette politique en matière d'éducation aux médias a engendré une intergénérationnelle dans le public et chez les animateurs. Cette communication envisage la formation des personnes âgées de plus de 60 ans aux nouveaux médias, en particulier celle des animateurs bénévoles dans le cadre du visionnement de films en réalité virtuelle

This research aims to describe the reason behind the Government of Philippine supporting 5G technology from Huawei through qualitative method. Massive pressure from United States as alliance who bans Huawei and spread the message to all states over the world does not influence Philippine from using this technology nationally. Eventhough United States has spesifically warned Philippine to avoid using 5G from Huawei in a state visit, Philippine keep taking different decision and support this technology. Therefore, Reseacher uses three main concepts such as Neoclassical Realism, Cybersecurity, and Digital Economy to answer the reason behind Philippine support towards Huawei's 5G. This research appraises that Philippine's support as a response to international structure and domestic factor which put digital economy and cybersecutiy forward through the implementation of Huawei's 5G. Keywords: Phillipine, 5G, Huawei, Neoclassical Realism

Climate change, clean energy transition, the energy security quest, and international relations have triggered the revival of renewable energy as a solution to these problems. Nowadays, there is an energy transition where renewable energies bring geopolitical changes in a world where fossil fuels are becoming less relevant. This article aims to assess how the transition influences Spain?s energy relations with other countries regarding electricity and its sources, in alignment with the European Green Deal. In order to do so, its current energy situation, the renewable energies development and its energy import?export relations are examined. The results show that despite progress in green regionalization through more electric interconnection, little difference is to be found in traditional relations with fossil fuel countries exporters, but more are the contractions in Spanish energy economic policy, as here is explained.

International audience ; Le rapport établi par la sous-commission pour l'Antitrust de la commission des lois de la Chambre des représentants américaine a étérendu public en octobre 2020 et il apparaît daté au vu des évolutions spectaculaires de l'environnement concurrentiel aux Etats-Unis à l'automne 2020. Celui-ci est non seulement lié au changement d'administration présidentielle en janvier 2021 mais également aux procédures qui ont été lancées dans l'intervalle. Il en est ainsi de la procédure lancée par le DoJ contre Google le 20 octobre 2020 devant la Cour de district fédérale du District de Columbia, celle lancée par les attorney generals de plusieurs états fédérés contre ce même opérateur le 16 décembre 2020 devant la cour fédérale de district de l'Eastern District of Texas ou encore de celle engagée contre Facebook par la FTC le 9 décembre 2020.

One of the many aspects of the relationship between the sphere of law and the sphere of politics is the fact that the most important decisions on public policies take the form of normative acts enacted throughappropriate legislative procedures. Thus, law-making processes are a strategic element of any system of authority – authority understood positively as concern for the common good. This applies to regulationscreated at the international, national and local levels, but also, e.g., to regulations and procedures within organisations (the internal law). Normative acts serve not only to introduce legal instrumentsnecessary for the implementation of public policies but are indispensable when applying incentives of other kinds, e.g. economic, institutional, educational or cultural. Moreover, even allowing social actors to act freely in a certain area of life (self-regulation) requires appropriate legal regulation.
