Full textAbstract:
As the articles in this special section show, railways mark out urban experience in very distinctive ways. In the introduction, Steven D. Spalding makes plain there is no clear relationship between railway development and the shape and size of cities. For many cities, suburban rail travel has been either substantially insignificant or a relative latecomer as a factor in urban growth and suburbanization. Walking, tramways and the omnibus may indeed have had a much greater impact on built form, yet the cultural impact of railways on the city life should not be minimized. Iconic city stations are both objects of civic pride and socially heterogeneous gateways to the promise of a better urban life. The physical presence of substantial tracts of infrastructure, viaducts, freight yards and warehousing, divide and segregate residential districts encouraging and reinforcing status differentials between communities. Subways, metros, and suburban railways open on to the often grubby quotidian underbelly of city life whilst marking out a psychic divide between work and domesticity, city and suburb. Railways not only produced new forms of personal mobility but by defining the contours, parameters, and possibilities of this experience, they have come to help shape how we think about ourselves as urbanized individuals and societies. The chapters in this special section mark out some of this territory in terms of, for example: suburbanization, landscape, and nationhood (Joyce); the abstractions of urban form implicit in the metro map (Schwetman); the underground as a metaphor for the topologically enfolded interconnections of urban process (Masterson-Algar); and the competing lay and professional interests freighting urban railway development (Soppelsa). In the introduction Spalding is right to stress both the multiple ways that railways shape urban experience and the complex processes that continuously shape and re-shape urban cultures as sites of contest and sometimes conflict. As Richter suggests, in the nineteenth century only rail travel demanded the constant and simultaneous negotiation of both urban social disorder and the systematic ordering associated with large technological systems and corporate business. Thus “the railroad stood squarely at the crossroad of the major social, business, cultural and technological changes remaking national life during the second half of the nineteenth century.”

Full textAbstract:
Referring to current phenomena and consumer behaviour in tourism, this article develops the concept of conspicuous non-consumption. It addresses the deliberate avoidance of (over)spending during holidays and states that this behaviour may be just as conspicuous and provide social signals that are just as strong as those connected to the consumption of expensive luxury goods. The conceptual development is based on a combination of the two dichotomies of ‘consumption versus non-consumption’ and ‘conspicuous versus inconspicuous’, resulting in four conceptually distinctive categories of behaviour: conspicuous consumption, conspicuous non-consumption, inconspicuous non-consumption and conspicuous non-consumption. The latter, conspicuous non-consumption, is of special interest in this article, exemplified through personal vignettes. Explorative readings of travel blogs lead to the identification of five themes that characterize conspicuous non-consumption in tourism: ‘identity building’, ‘recycling, upcycling and repurposing’, ‘spiritualizing’, ‘retreating and detoxing’ and ‘slowing down’. Usually, tourism innovation policies are characterized by a ritual growth compulsion, and do not celebrate non-consumption, which is found to be synonymous with non-innovation. This is a paradox for the timely modernizing of tourist services and destinations. Increasingly, there is a need to reorient innovation and to give consideration to how the innovation of ‘nothing’ can also undergo a distinctive progression and even contribute positively to tourism economies. This article highlights the entry points for innovation at the tourism business and destination levels.

Full textAbstract:
This paper discusses the results of a study aimed at gaining a deeper understanding of how the COVID-19 pandemic has changed the Russian tourism market and how local tourism enterprises respond to challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Summarizing their experience of doing business in crisis conditions can allow a more efficient response to similar crises in the future and contribute to a more resilient tourism sector in the aftermath of the pandemic. In order to meet the research objective, we combined various sources of operational statistical information about the state of the industry with the results of a survey conducted in the Nizhny Novgorod region and in-depth interviews with representatives of tourism enterprises. We found that Russian tourism enterprises have proved to be quite resilient by looking for additional opportunities, and paying special attention to staff development and team consolidation. However, there are problems faced by local tourism enterprises in obtaining state support. Therefore, tourism enterprises that rely on themselves and innovate to create services and products adjusted to new customer needs and preferences have a better chance to survive. In particular, the wider use of digital marketing instruments helps SMEs to propose a new value for customers aligned to the new requirements and trends in tourism, such as travel security, prevailing interest in individual and short-term trips for short distances, and the sharply increased demand for domestic tourism destinations.

Full textAbstract:
Telehealth, the use of communication and information technologies to deliver health services, was initially envisioned as a way for persons in rural or remote settings to receive otherwise unavailable healthcare services. Now, in addition to overcoming personnel shortages for underserved populations, telehealth shows promise in meeting the needs of a constantly mobile U.S. society and workforce. Fortunately, telerehabilitation can meet the needs of a mobile society and workforce by enabling continuity of care for individuals who are out-of-town, on vacation, in temporary residence as a university student, or on business travel. Unfortunately, outdated legislative and regulatory policies and inhospitable infrastructures currently stand in the way of a seamless continuum of care.In 2010, the American Telemedicine Association’s Telerehabilitation Special Interest Group (TR SIG) convened a License Portability Sub-Committee to explore ways to diminish barriers for state licensure portability with a particular focus on physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and audiology. In 2011, the Subcommittee published a factsheet that detailed the challenges and potential solutions that surround the difficult issue of licensure portability. Concurrently, the American Telemedicine Association is advocating for national reform of professional licensure.At the heart of all licensure requirements is the ability to determine who should be granted the authority to practice in a particular profession. This is done by focusing on educational, examination and behavioral requirements that are deemed the minimum necessary to protect the public from harm. States, however, with whom authority for licensure of health professionals rests, have independently determined those minimum requirements. This approach has led to a myriad of requirements that vary from state to state. Licensure portability will best succeed when variability between licensure requirements is minimized and an efficient licensure process exists. In this paper, these two critical factors for licensure portability are referred to as “licensure requirements” and “the credentialing process.” Currently the variability between both of these factors is different between professions as well as between jurisdictions. To find the best solution to licensure portability, it is critical to determine which of these two elements create significant barriers for licensure mobility. This document outlines a method for the professions to begin collecting data to pinpoint the areas where agreement and variations exist in licensure requirements and processes between states. Such information will inform efforts towards uniformity.

Abstract- Business travel is a routine activity carried out by almost all government agencies in Indonesia. Business travel requires special budgeting costs and at the end of the activity a report on the use of costs or an approved budget is required. Problems encountered in the official travel costs system take quite a long time to produce an effective and efficient travel expense report. Difficulties in monitoring business trips conducted both in terms of cost and time. Searching for travel cost data also takes a long time, making it difficult for auditing of official travel costs. For this reason it is important for all agencies or companies to create information systems that are known to be able to produce reports that are fast, accurate and accurate and able to carry out monitoring of official travel activities undertaken. The results of this study are an information system for official travel financing. Keywords: official travel, cost, information system

This study aims to explore the bottlenecks of the Online Travel Portals while catering to business travelers. Data collection was done from Online Travel Portals and 379 foreign tourists using varied scales to determine their comprehensive perceived experience, technology adoption perception, the bottlenecks encountered and the ability to adapt while selecting online travel portals. Findings revealed that building trust is a major bottleneck for business travelers as they are skeptical of online transactions, cases of online thefts and internet security issues is another bottleneck. Safe and secure payment gateway is a big hurdle. Hotels booked through Online Travel Portals are sometimes not up to the mark and quality is a major bottleneck Online Travel Portals felt that expected tour components by the business travelers was the most problematic factor for them. Another problem was the unfavourable payment terms with the suppliers as well as non-availability of right accommodation demanded by the business travelers. Another bottleneck included not meeting the special needs of Business Travelers.

In Malaysia, the contribution test is applied by both the Civil and Shariah courts to determine claims in business interest as matrimonial property. However, it is observed that different from claims on interest in personal property, the courts have to apply additional test other than the contribution test in determining claims of matrimonial property in business interest. This is because the ownership structure in business are different from ownership of personal property and highly dependents on types of the business entities. Apart from analyzing the approaches adopted in the Malaysian courts in dividing business interest upon divorce or dissolution of marriage, this research also highlights the arising legal issues which may arise in respect of different business entities in which the business interest exists. This study was conducted primarily through a doctrinal study of existing literature such as articles, journals and the decision from the relevant case laws which was decided in both the Civil and Shariah courts. This research found that other than types of business entities, the interest of parties in business is also determined by the quantum of shareholding or contribution in the business.

PurposeThis study examines whether a higher interest alignment between online travel agencies (OTAs; hosting platform) and hotels (business owners) will intensify review manipulation activities.Design/methodology/approachWith a panel data set collected from a Chinese online travel agency and a travel search engine, the authors develop a matching-based difference-indifference approach to examine the presence of partnership-intensified review manipulation.FindingsThe authors find that the ratings of agency's partner hotels (with a higher interest alignment) are abnormally higher than those of matched non-partner hotels (with a lower interest alignment), after they are benchmarked with their ratings on the search engine (without a partnership business model). Further, the analysis results indicate that this partnership-intensified manipulation deteriorates the hotel's sales performance because of damaged customer trust and satisfaction.Originality/valuePrevious studies implicitly assume that review manipulator is independent from the hosting platform. This is the first study examining the role of the hosting platform in review manipulations.

Virtual tourism is accepted make an advantage for bosses small scale of travel industry through the offer of access administrations, however, all in large scale virtual tourism will affect essentially on the travel industry goals in the truth of the experience since they can't be provided by the supplier. Virtual tourism just give looks and impressions, yet unfit to give a taste, smell, feeling, fulfillment, dedication, and dependability. Arranging a traveler visit may utilize different proposals offered by different suppliers. For booking travel tickets inside the nation, traveloka will be their decision with different advantageous installment choices gave. For booking global travel tickets they may pick TripAdvisor. For the choice of goals to be visited, potential sightseers will no doubt utilize the suggestions offered by Indonesia Virtual Tour, and Tripadvisor may be for determination of facilities, imminent travelers get more suggestions, however, who can show evaluations that are probably going to be trailed by expected voyagers. Regardless of how straight forward virtual tourism is, they have a significant job as an extension between the travel industry makers and likely voyagers. E-tourism created in Indonesia right now has not addressed the most significant part of giving data and assurance to sightseers when they decide to visit vacationer goals. The vast majority of the suppliers that fabricate virtually the travel industry frameworks have the point of building up a business association or business affiliations with entrepreneurs, for example, convenience administrations, tagging administrations, eatery administrations, and different administrations focused on business. Another technique arranged to quicken the recuperation of Bali's travel industry is to make and set explicit wellbeing gauges.

Communication with market segments takes into account marketing communication means as well as the implementation of different business orientations. Design – Special emphasis is placed on the use of different marketing communication means and their efficiency. Research also explores business orientation adaptation when approaching different market segments. Methodology – In exploring marketing communication means, insights from Van der Merve (2003) were used. A selling orientation-customer orientation (SOCO) scale (Periatt, LeMay and Chakrabarty 2004) was implemented for exploring travel agencies’ business orientation. In exploring travellers’ motivations, insights from Ružic, Turkalj and Racic (2003), and Tomas Summer (2010) were used. Findings – Research results indicate that additional efforts should be made in restructuring travel agencies’ promotional budgets. Marketing communication means are not used according to the efficiency of their allocation. Therefore, the efficiency of marketing communication means used for reaching target markets should be taken into account. Additionally, travel agencies adapt their business orientation according to the importance of market segments. But future development and interaction with market segments should also be taken into account when adapting business orientation. Originality of this research – The originality is evident in the insights it provides about travel agencies’ communication efforts on target markets. It is original because it applies a selling orientation-customer orientation to a travel agency setting, and its research results indicate that business orientation implementation depends on the target market.

This article examines women empowerment in tourism with reference to the Pokhara Metropolitan City, Nepal. The major objective is to identify the women in tourism, their situation, problem, and obstacle and future perspective in the tourism industry. The descriptive and analytical research design is used. Primary and secondary sources of data are used. Fifty-two samples have been taken from the tourism industry (hotel, lodge, travel, and trekking) and a questionnaire distributed to women. Some women are entrepreneurs and some are employees in the tourism field in Pokhara. Women are gradually being motivated to involve themselves in tourism-related business. These days, women’s contribution does not equate males when they are compared. Most of the women work at a lower level and they are satisfied with their work and their contribution. Women face different obstacles that hamper them to move, initiate and run their business. Women have better potentiality in different tourism sectors like direct and indirect, such as framing, planting, travel, and trekking, rural tourism, home stay, medication, and hospitability. But they have various causes and reasons to work at a lower level.

Irresponsible travel has the potential to harm both the traveler and the host destination. The subject of responsible travel is a major focus of the International Society of Travel Medicine, whose Responsible Travel special interest group has been very active in providing leadership for travel medicine practitioners in relation to the protection of local travel destination communities. Healthcare professionals have a responsibility to safeguard the dual interests of travelers and their hosts. This can be achieved by drawing the traveler’s attention to examples of irresponsible tourism during the pre-travel consultation. This perspective article aims to explore various aspects of irresponsible travel, including environmental damage travelers may cause; medical tourism and its impact on both the home and destination health service; voluntourism involving poorly prepared volunteers interacting with vulnerable communities in the host country; and sex tourism, including prostitution and child trafficking. Further research is needed to better understand the attitudes of travelers, travel health professionals, and the travel industry towards responsible tourism and to overcome barriers to its implementation.

The aim of this article is to describe the negotiation process including the preparation phase. The article is based on conclusions and thoughts drawn from the research which has been conducted by the author for a few years. As an experienced negotiator and the president of the National Negotiators Association the author knows from autopsy that the initial phase is often underestimated, although its influence on the outcome of negotiations is crucial. The research allowed the author to briefly present arrangements and the authorial negotiation model. The article may be of interest to managers who very often have to negotiate different agreements and contracts and whose negotiating skills constitute essential part of their competence portfolio. Such competences are required from many specialists, particularly those involved in commerce.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate the role of the special interests of key decision makers in entrepreneurship policy formation at the national level. The core question is: what is the role that special interests play in a situation with significantly improved evidence through a growing number of high-quality international benchmark studies on entrepreneurial performance. Design/methodology/approach – An ethnographic method is applied to analyse in depth the 2005 decision by the Danish Government to shift from a volume-oriented to a growth-oriented entrepreneurship policy. This decision process is an extreme case since Denmark has world-class evidence of its entrepreneurial performance. Findings – Even in such a well-investigated country, which since 2000 has had a pioneering role in the development of the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor study and international register-based studies, the special interests of a few top-level politicians and civil servants have significantly influenced the decision to shift the overall policy. These special interests guided the interpretation of the ambiguous evidence provided by these two benchmark studies. Practical implications – Policy makers are made aware of the need to take a critical view on international benchmark studies, asking what is studied and how and realising that “the truth” about a country’s entrepreneurial performance cannot be found in just one study. Originality/value – The theoretical value of this paper is its challenge to the widespread rationality view in the entrepreneurship policy field and a deepened understanding of how the pursuit of special interests is related to ambiguous evidence and system-level rationality.

A COVID-19 járvány lecsengésével egyidejűleg a nemzetközi utazások is elkezdődnek majd. Azonban sem az utazás megszokott formái, sem az utazók utazással kapcsolatos attitűdjei nem lesznek ugyanazok, mint járvány előtt. Mivel mindenkinek a biztonságos utazás az érdeke, a járványos megbetegedések prevenciója elsődleges fontosságúvá válik. Ennek egyetlen módja az utazás előtti egészségügyi felkészítés. Az orvosi tanácsadással az utazással összefüggő betegségek nagy része megelőzhető. A tanácsadás a COVID járvány után ki kell, hogy terjedjen a vírusfertőzés megelőzésének módjaira, illetve a biztonsági rendszabályok ismertetésére is. Azonban a biztonságos utazás és utaztatás biztosítása nem csak orvosi feladat. A megelőző intézkedések az utazási iparág minden szereplőjének ismeretanyagát kell, hogy képezzék. Ezeket az új ismereteket foglalja össze a tanulmány. International travel will resume in parallel to the decline of COVID-19 pandemic. However, neither travel practices nor travellers’ attitudes will be the same as before. Travel safety is in the common interest of both travellers and of the actors in the travel business, and so the prevention of travelrelated illnesses and communicable diseases is of fundamental importance. The only way to manage this is appropriate pre-travel advice for travellers. Withh the help of pre-travel counselling, the majority of medical problems could be prevented. The post-covid way of pre-travel advice must include the prevention of COVID infection, as well as other safety measures. At the same time, the task of ensuring safe travel is not exclusively medical business. All safety and preventive measures must be known and must be implemented by all participants in the travel business. This article offers a brief summary of these issues.

Full textAbstract:
The travel service industry is a fast-growing part of the Chinese economy. With the recent announcement of Beijing as the host city for the 2008 Olympics, this trend is poised to continue. The quality of a travel service company's (TSC) reputation generates revenue from repeat and referral business and is critical to the ongoing success of firms in this industry. A key factor in maintaining reputation is the level of quality services provided by tour guides employed by these firms. Using an agency theory framework, this paper suggests that the optimal compensation contract of tour guides is a mixture of outcome-based and behaviour-based contracts. The authors propose specific contract components that balance TSC revenue requirements and their need to maintain a strong reputation while providing incentives for tour guides to act in the best interest of the company.

Full textAbstract:
Many developing countries strive, through stimulating employment policy in tourism sector, to ensure the new opportunities for development. Specificity of perception of managers in that respect is influenced by a lot of factors, from personal characteristic of managers, internal forces of travel agencies, migrations and performance of workforce, and business cycle of a travel agency. It is also very important that managers do not prefer the „hard“ to „soft“ approach in human resource management, because that would demotivate human resources in the long run, and thereby jeopardize the competitive advantages of travel agencies. The basic aims of the research are to find dominant type of manager`s approach in human resource management, and manager`s motivation tchniques in travel agencies in Montenegro. General scientific methods of cognition, observation, surveying and the statistical method are used in the paper, and as regards special scientific methods of cognition, the methods of abstraction and concretization are used. The basic hypothesis in the research is that, managers in travel agencies in Montengro, favorable „soft“ approach in human resource management, and non-matherial tehniques of human resource motivation. Research finding is that with combined motivation techniques of human resource motivation (material and non-material), managers could provide more significantly business results than they are nowadays in travel agencies in Montenegro.

The review considers S. Gandlevsky's travel notes in the context of the author's poems, fiction, and memoirs. The reviewers analyse the characteristic genre features of the travelogue and the principles for selection of the realia behind the ‘future reminiscence' (rather than showy ‘facades' meant for tourists, the traveller shows appreciation for something random and unobtrusive and, therefore, suffused with mystery). The review takes special interest in the constant features of the writer's poetics that reveal Gandlevsky's works as a homogeneous whole, consistent within its established framework. Such features include a particularly dense medium of quotations constituting a special kind of optics with the purpose to ensure that everything visible is fitted into a mandatory intertextual framework.

The Service Process Management in Travel Business Networks project focuses on knowledge tripartition. It is carried out at the University of Lapland with the aim of defining knowledge management, network management, and customer relations management from the practical point of view. The implementation of the project entails cooperation with enterprises involved in the travel industry in Lapland. This article examines knowledge-intensive services in the travel industry from the viewpoint of knowledge tripartition. The focus is on implicit knowledge and its special character in the organizational context. Implicit knowledge lies between explicit and tacit knowledge. The conclusion is that implicit knowledge should be taken into account in organizational action. The question is whether this tripartition makes organizational environment clearer or more complex.

Full textAbstract:
This study uses theoretical models and empirical research to explain that interest rates affect the structure of housing price formation and correction rather than affect the price alone. In particular, when interest rates are substantially reduced, the correction of housing prices toward fundamentals is absent; in other words, a housing bubble is likely to occur. This study first illustrates a model for explaining home price behavior. Data from the Case-Shiller U.S. National Home Price Index between January 1975 and August 2020 are adopted to observe the behavior of home prices. The empirical results show that the correction and bubble behavior of U.S. home prices have exhibited significant structural changes. Variation in money supply fails to explain the structural changes, however, interest rate variation can significantly affect the structural changes. According to the results, when interest rates rise or fall slightly, the correction of home prices toward the equilibrium value is significant. However, when interest rates fall substantially, the bubble behavior of home prices is significant. For governments that adopt low interest rates to revitalize the economy, the results of this study provide special reference values. Governments should provide additional intervention in housing markets when an extremely low interest rate exists.

Full textAbstract:
Shared (electric) mobility is still facing challenges in terms of reaching its potential as a sustainable mobility solution. Low physical and digital integration with public transport, a lack of charging infrastructure, the regulatory barriers, and the public nuisance are hindering the uptake and organization of shared mobility services. This study examines the case of the shared mobility hub, a location where shared mobility is concentrated, as a solution to overcome these challenges. To find ideas informing how a network of shared mobility hubs can contribute to sustainable urban mobility and to overcome the aforementioned challenges, a business model innovation approach was adopted. Focus groups, consisting of public and private stakeholders, collaboratively designed five business model (BM) blueprints, reaching a consensus about the value creation, delivery, and capture mechanisms of the network. The blueprints, defined as first-/last-mile, clustered, point-of-interest (POI), hybrid, and closed mobility hub networks, provide alternative solutions to integrate sustainable transportation modes into a coherent network, enabling multi- and intermodal travel behaviour, and supporting interoperability, sustainable land use, and ensured access to shared (electric) travel modes. However, which kind of network the local key stakeholders need to commit to depends on the local policy goals and regulatory context.

Research has shown that the growing holiday travel demand in modern society has a significant influence on daily travel patterns. However, few studies have focused on the distinctness of travel patterns during a holiday season and as a specified case, travel behavior studies of the Chinese Spring Festival (CSF) at the city level are even rarer. This paper adopts a text-mining model (latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA)) to explore the travel patterns and travel purposes during the CSF season in Shenzhen based on the metro smart card data (MSC) and the points of interest (POIs) data. The study aims to answer two questions—(1) how to use MSC and POIs inferring travel purpose at the metro station level without the socioeconomic backgrounds of the cardholders? (2) What are the overall inner-city mobility patterns and travel activities during the Spring Festival holiday-week? The results show that six features of the CSF travel behavior are found and nine (three broad categories) travel patterns and trip activities are inferred. The activities in which travelers engaged during the CSF season are mainly consumption-oriented events, visiting relatives and friends and traffic-oriented events. This study is beneficial to metro corporations (timetable management), business owners (promotion strategy), researchers (travelers’ social attribute inference) and decision-makers (examine public service).

Travel literature is a genre very known by the historiography; the researchers have been analyzed from the journeys of the Antiquity up to the Contemporaneousness. Nevertheless, those studies have showed a special interest for the travel literature produced by masculine subjects, whereas the literature produced by female writers has not been treated up to very recent dates. For it, in this work we propose to announce a series of women writers, some of them very known already, but others practically unknown in our country. These women, intrepid and bold travelers, travelled to Spain throughout the centuries of the Modernity, extending the period chronological until the Nineteenth century. It is of six women writers whose literary production, in most cases, has not been translated into Spanish.

Full textAbstract:
Although traditional travel agents have played an important role as proxies enabling travelers to make connections with hotels, the emergence of the internet has changed the traditional relationship between hotels and travel agents. Instead of a traditional agent–principal relationship, online travel agents (OTAs) seem to act as more than just intermediaries and more as business partners or vendors. Scholars have previously observed troubled, if not hostile, relationships between hotels and OTAs. There has been a growing tendency for hotel and accommodation business worldwide to use Online Travel Agents (OTAs) to promote and sell their rooms. This research discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the promotion and sales through OTAs for hotel business in Kaliurang a famous tourism destination object in Yogyakarta. The object of the research is the hotel manager, supervisors and staff who handle the hotel promotion and sales of their accommodation business. Hotel were located in Kaliurang chosen based on cluster proportional and the informants were chosen based on purposive sampling technique. The result shows that the disadvantages in using OTAs as promotion and sales tool are rising occupancy, direct payment, and as a tool in making hotel well known worldwide. The disadvantages are decrease net sales, over booking, negative comments could downgrade the hotels rank, and OTAs make hotels website got limited traffic. The motivation of hotel managements in using OTAs is highly motivated. The dominant factor of the perception included factors in self-perception of the target, factor in the self-perception., and factors perception of situation. This research suggests to the villa management to recruit special personnel for handling OTAs as well as to manage own websites to increase the net sales.

We illustrate this with examples from bond rating, bond pricing, deposit insurance pricing, various kinds of regulatory arbitrage, risk-adjusted capital allocation, persistent mispricing of risk, the impact of accounting for Level-3 assets, the design problem for a special resolution regime and financial implications of the process of financial reform itself. We find that conflicts between the financial interests of various stakeholders can be viewed as examples of tranche wars from the point of view of abstract synthetic re-securitizations of pools of cash-flows.

A Change Of Government In Britain Does Not Necessarily Imply a change in foreign policy, but when Robin Cook entered the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) in May 1997 it was with the ambition of bringing about a break with the past. The FCO was endowed for the first time with a ‘Mission Statement’, in which spreading the values of human rights, civil liberties and democracy (‘mutual respect’) was described as a benefit to be secured through foreign policy; the new Foreign Secretary elaborated this ambition at the launch of the Mission Statement, asserting: The Labour Government does not accept that political values can be left behind when we check in our passports to travel on diplomatic business. Our foreign policy must have an ethical dimension and must support the demands of other peoples for the democratic rights on which we insist for ourselves. We will put human rights at the heart of our foreign policy.
