Abstract

This study analyzes the change of the Saudi Pro League (SPL) from 2021 to 2024, assessing whether these initiatives represent sportswashing or authentic nation branding. Since 2021, Saudi Arabia has allocated billions into the acquisition of international football talents and the enhancement of facilities, notwithstanding global condemnation of its human rights record. This research utilizes Anholt's nation branding hexagon framework and adopts a qualitative case study technique with comparative aspects, incorporating official documents, public opinion surveys, media content analysis, and tourism statistics. Findings indicate a multifaceted "strategic sports diplomacy" approach that surpasses the simplistic sportswashing/branding dichotomy, yielding disproportionate outcomes across several objectives. Despite SPL's notable commercial success, including airing in over 130 countries, generating over $300 million in annual revenue, and attracting an additional 310,000 tourists, enhancements in reputation within Western markets were limited, especially among viewers emphasizing human rights issues. The study demonstrates a "Western perception paradox," wherein substantial visibility gains did not result in enhanced favorability, while demographic analysis indicates markedly more positive perceptions among younger viewers, active fans, and non-Western demographics. This study enhances the theoretical comprehension of sports diplomacy by illustrating how audience segmentation influences effectiveness across demographic, geographic, and cultural dimensions, thereby contesting simplistic assessments of sports-based nation branding and offering frameworks for analyzing the multifaceted outcomes of modern sports diplomacy.

Abstract

This study aims to identify community participation in developing a tourist village and implement tourism development in Ketenger Village through community-based tourism (CBT). Ketenger Village is a tourist village having various destinations and tourist areas so that the potential for village development can still be developed. The data in this study were collected through field observations, interviews, and focus group discussions with related parties. Data were analyzed using qualitative methods. The study results indicated that the participation or involvement of the Ketenger Village community in several CBT standards had been partly met, while others need to be improved. Despite having Pokdarwis (Tourism-aware Group), the village government was still the main motor of tourism. Therefore, some of the main development opportunities for Ketenger Village that can be done are improving the quality of community management (in planning, implementation, and evaluation), improving the quality of human resources, encouraging host and tourist interaction, and maximizing marketing through social media (not only depending on newspaper journalists).Keywords: community-based tourism, community participation, Ketenger Village, tourism.

Abstract

In response to the escalating global environmental crisis, China has initiated "Ecological Civilization," a distinctive state-led approach to environmental sustainability and harmonious development. Rooted in Marxist ecological thought and traditional Chinese philosophies emphasizing human-nature harmony, this initiative diverges from Western models and is enshrined in China's constitution and national policies. This essay provides an expert-level analysis of Ecological Civilization, examining its core principles, theoretical foundations (including Taoist and Confucian influences and modern sustainability concepts), and implementation within China. It assesses both successes—such as large-scale afforestation (e.g., Three-North Shelter Forest Program, Grain to Green Program), biodiversity conservation through protected areas and Ecological Conservation Redlines, and advancements in green energy transition —and failures, including persistent pollution, enforcement challenges, and socio-ecological impacts of large infrastructure projects. The analysis explores the strong synergies between Ecological Civilization and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 7 (Energy), SDG 11 (Cities), SDG 13 (Climate Action), SDG 15 (Life on Land), and SDG 12 (Sustainable Consumption). Considering the sustainability efforts and unique challenges faced by Global South countries, this essay distills valuable insights from China's experience. Key lessons highlight the importance of strong state leadership, quantitative targets, large-scale ecological restoration, and green technology innovation, while emphasizing the crucial need for context-specific adaptation, stakeholder engagement, and equitable strategies for the Global South
