Students use an interactive map to analyze the patterns of migration across the globe and discuss the push and pull factors that cause people to migrate.
This book focuses on new immigrant families from the People's Republic of China to New Zealand and investigates how these families have adapted to New Zealand immigration policy regime, which does not accommodate their cultural preference to live as multigenerational families easily. The book analyses a three-generation framework: First-generation adult immigrants, their children and older parents. It examines how migratory mobility and intergenerational dynamics configure migratory trajectories of individual family members and shape their family lives and sense of identity. The book sheds light on how different family generations pursue their own interests and goals while maintaining family unity and cohesiveness in contexts of increasing transnational mobility opportunities and constraints. It also investigates how familial ties, transnational connections and a sense of identity and belonging are defined and redefined during the process of transnational migration. This book can serve as a heuristic reference to and meaningful comparative parameter for studying transnational family migration in other contexts. As a significant theoretical contribution to the theory of transnational family formation in contexts where restrictive immigration policies result in members of multigenerational families living across different countries, this book will be of interest to academics in the fields of sociology, anthropology, race and ethnic studies as well as Asian and Chinese studies.

This book deals with the very new concept of technological platforms analyzing in particular three main positive effects coming from them such as higher innovation rate, faster product development and knowledge spillovers. Thanks to these positive effects, a successful platform implementation is able to foster the development of an entire industry, in particular that one characterized by complex products. At this purpose, Apple has been studied as the best case of a successful technological platform implementation in the high tech industry. From this perspective the Apple platform has been analyzed in terms of strategy, products and technological standards, hence the key success factors have been highlighted. Furthermore the Apple platform has been compared with two other platforms in the mobile phone industry like Symbian and Windows Mobile. In the second part of the book the author has developed his own idea for a technological platform able to foster another complex-products industry: the renewable energies. The strategy, the architecture and the leadership for this technological platform have been suggested looking also to some successful case like China and New Zealand.

The UNESCO Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage came into force in 2006, framing the international and national practices and policies associated with intangible cultural heritage. This volume critically and reflexively examines these practices and policies, providing an accessible account of the different ways in which intangible cultural heritage has been defined and managed in both national and international contexts. As Safeguarding Intangible Heritage reveals, the concept and practices of safeguarding are complicated and often contested, and there is a need for international debate about the meaning, nature and value of heritage and what it means to 'safeguard' it. Safeguarding Intangible Heritage presents a significant cross section of ideas and practices from some of the key academics and practitioners working in the area, whose areas of expertise span anthropology, law, heritage studies, linguistics, archaeology, museum studies, folklore, architecture, Indigenous studies and history. The chapters in this volume give an overarching analysis of international policy and practice and critically frame case studies that analyze practices from a range of countries, including Australia, Canada, China, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Kyrgyzstan, New Zealand, Taiwan, the UK and Zimbabwe.With a focus on conceptual and theoretical issues, this follow-up to Intangible Heritage, by the same editors, will be of great interest to students, scholars and professionals working in the fields of heritage and museum studies, heritage conservation, heritage tourism, global history, international relations, art and architectural history, and linguists.
Sustainable development is now being recognised as a vital component of our society in the environmental, ethical, social, technological, economic, and institutional dimensions, but what is missing is a framework to quantitatively measure sustainability. This thesis is distinctive in that it focuses on quantitative methods encapsulated in a formal assessment procedure and that it includes sustainability concepts that have rarely been put into practical use in sustainability reports. A configuration of the tools from Total Quality Management (TQM) is adapted to identify sustainability indicators which are then mapped onto a scalar with mathematical functions and the sustainability indices are presented on different levels of details according to the need of different stakeholders. To fully demonstrate the potential of the methodology, the author has chosen to test it on the electricity sector of New Zealand. This methodology is a tool to analyze the complex interactions of decision makings and will be valuable to policy makers and sustainability professionals who can make use of it to test the overall effects of a policy change before it is implemented.
