This book explicates how the frontiers and path of development of casino tourism in various destinations in East and Southeast Asia are shaped by a set of social, cultural, political and economic forces and their interplays in a dynamic environment, and the prospects of this industry in different destinations in the 2020s and onward. Casino tourism has been a rapidly growing industry in East and Southeast Asia in the 2000s and 2010s. By scrutinizing the respective evidence from the better-developed, emerging and potential casino tourism destinations in East and Southeast Asia (which include Macao, Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea, the Philippines, Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar, Japan, Thailand and Taiwan), the book analyses specific contextual dimensions, including social, cultural, political and economic standpoints; the pragmatic features associated with the progress of this industry; and performances of casino tourism at the various East-Southeast Asian casino tourism destinations. Additionally, it also explores the impacts of the “China factor” and the resultant changes to the development frontiers of casino tourism. Thus, readers who would like to gain realistic insights into the underlying forces and dynamics of the practices and prospects of this industry will find this book informative and compelling. This book provides a comprehensive and succinct reference to students and industry practitioners in the areas of tourism, casino gaming and integrated resorts who wish to gain further insights into the general and essences, business routines and prospects of casino tourism development in East-Southeast Asia. Academics may also find this book a useful source for further exploration.

Member states of the European Union often label themselves as the world’s top Green Leaders. Air Protection in the European Union Member States examines the EU members' air protection policies by taking into consideration wider political, social, and economic perspectives. The book is divided into four chapters, each focusing on different aspects of the European Union's environmental policies and the member states' air protection efforts: "Green and Smart – The Development of the European Union’s Environmental Policies", "Ever Cleaner Union and the Air Protection Concept", "Trends of Air Pollution in the European Union – Comparative Perspective", and "In-Depth Case Studies". These chapters provide a comparative approach to emerging emission trends within the European Union, paying particular attention to key events spanning 2020–2023, such as the implementation of the Green Deal, the reinterpretation of the meaning of public health caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and the strategic withdrawal from hydrocarbons accelerated by the outbreak of war in Ukraine. Throughout the book, three main categories of states are characterized: leaders, second-raters, and laggards. Air Protection in the European Union Member States presents a combination of general discussions, legislative analyses, comparative studies, and detailed case studies, demonstrating the origin, development, and trends in air protection policies within the European Union. This uniquely interdisciplinary book will be a vital guide for students, researchers, and teachers in the fields of global studies, international relations, and political and economic science.

The concept of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has become increasingly widespread, as businesses seek to incorporate socially responsible behaviors while still being accountable to shareholders. Indeed some research has suggested that CSR in itself can form the basis of good PR by promoting consumers’ purchase decisions. Arguing that this approach is a dangerous oversimplification, this book takes a deeper look at the concept of CSR in a particularly challenging context - casino gaming. Originally the province of seedy, backdoor establishments in isolated cities, casino gaming has become a multibillion-dollar global industry. Drawing on in-depth research in Las Vegas, this unique study examines how and why corporations in the casino industry interpret and engage in CSR through community support, environmental issues, labor rights, and corporate governance. Through in-depth analysis of CSR in this industry, this book adds a new dimension to the debate on the role of CSR and public relations in business. Given the burgeoning relationship between CSR and corporate PR, the book seeks to illuminate CSR’s complexities, contradictions, and moral obligations. It will be of interest to all scholars of public relations, corporate communications, and corporate reputation.
