Abstract

The main purpose of this research paper is to give a conceptual framework for sustainable tourism during pandemic like COVID-19 and also build a theoretical understanding of the key concepts relevant to sustainable tourism, which include perceived riskmitigating measures, community satisfaction, community involvement, community attachment, smart tourists' destination selection process, the impact of fear of COVID-19 and role of netizens in sustaining tourism. A qualitative research design is adopted in this study after taking insights from literature about sustainable tourism during the COVID-19 pandemic and conducting interviews with local community members directly participating in tourism activities and tourists who continued their tourism activities during these days. Finally proposes antecedents for sustainable tourism during the COVID-19 pandemic. The key ϐindings of this study reveal that society plays the main role in sustaining tourism during a pandemic. This study also provides a conceptual model for measuring sustainable tourism during the COVID-19 pandemic or any other pandemics like this COVID-19. And also, this study provides a deep understanding of those variables involved in the proposed conceptual framework. This study contributes to theory by providing latent variables for sustainable tourism useful for when the tourism industry is facing crises due to pandemic COVID-19. It also provides a conceptual framework with those variables that remain underexplored in previous studies. This conceptual model and literature review from previous studies add to the body of knowledge by introducing latent variables, while the conceptual model proposes relationships between these factors.

Abstract

Conflicts are a common phenomenon in today’s disorderly world. Ethnic conflicts usually arise in multi-ethnic, pluralistic, or democratic societies. While employing institutional theory, this qualitative study explores the role of institutions in escalating and de-escalating ethnic conflicts through analysis of Gorkhaland and Balochistan ethnic conflicts in India and Pakistan, respectively. Both conflict-prone regions hold significant geo-strategic importance for their countries and share common grievances ranging from political marginalization, identity crisis, structural inequalities, denial of democracy, and enduring state antagonism. Since federalism is considered a golden road towards sustainable ethnic peace, a deep understanding of both conflicts’ nature, synthesis, underpinning factors, and the contemporary situation is pivotal for advancing informed political discourse. The study follows a desk research method for data collection and a descriptive approach for synthesizing the facts gathered from secondary sources, including the grey literature. The study informs that the suppression of dissenting voices doesn’t resolve ethnic conflicts instead adds insult to injuries. The study concludes that as long as the non-democratic policies of the governments are in place, this ethno-regional agenda would continue to be a significant issue in the politics of both federal states – India and Pakistan. The study implies that both countries should volte-face their state policy towards their respective conflict-prone regions to sustain a socially cohesive, economically viable, and politically stable society. The study also presents several contributions coupled with limitations and future research directions.

Abstract

Federalism is a setup most suited to countries with diversity. A bicameral legislature has become the necessity of multicultural federations since it best satisfies the federating units’ needs by giving them equal representation to participate in the legislation and accountability processes. It also guarantees impartiality through providing a second deliberation on matters considered at the lower house overshadowed by the federating units with the majority population. In Pakistan, all constitutions had unicameral legislatures until the debacle of East Pakistan in 1971. After the unfortunate incident, it was felt that an upper house should check out the domination of the largest province in the central legislature with equal representation. So, the 1973 Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan came out with an upper house named Senate. Provincial autonomy was the long demanded right of provinces brought about by the 18th Amendment to the Constitution. The Amendment gave a new and dynamic role to the Senate. The present study intends to analyze the Senate’s role in the federation of Pakistan in the backdrop of the 18th Amendment. By utilizing primary and secondary data sources, this study takes an analytical approach to address the research question. For this purpose, the authors have conducted semi-structured interviews with the Senators (n=6) belonging to all four provinces of Pakistan to bring empirical evidence concerning the role of the Senate as the House of the Federation. The study underscores that the indirect election of the senators, insignificant legislative powers of the Senate, parliamentary nature of the political system, and the resultant bulldozing of legislative proposals by the presidential ordinances and joint sessions of the parliament severely curtail the powers of the Senate. The study concludes that the members of the Senate should be directly elected so that their dependency on the respective provincial assemblies is minimized. The legislative powers of the Senate should be enhanced along with veto power. In case of a joint session of the parliament, one vote of the Senate should be counted as equal to three votes of the NA. With a humble contribution to theoretical and practical fields, the study describes its limitations and presents directions for future research.
