Description
Summary:Summary of articles This third issue of 2024 consists of eight articles, including the impacts of World Governance Index on Global Peace Index, Indonesian Muslim community’s municipal corporation policy with Sustainable Development Goals, local governments’ responses to environmental complaints in China, strategies changes in leadership management of the funeral service industry in Hong Kong, authentic strategy of local government agencies in United Arab Emirates, the dilemmas of Bangladesh as a weak state in South Asia, and two papers on corruption scandals and control in the Philippines. According to the Feasible Generalized Least Squares (FGLS) estimators, five WGI components exhibit inverse relationships with the GPI (increasing WGI components leads to a decline in GPI, indicating an enhancement in peace quality). Semi-structured, in-depth interviews were conducted with seven key personnel (funeral director, salesperson, coffin shop owner, and mortuary transporter) engaged in the funeral service industry in Hong Kong. Through literature review, in-depth interviews, media reports and dialogues, four key factors are identified: (a) Bangladesh’s significance to major powers has increased; (b) it confronts many obstacles hindering its pursuit of a purely non-aligned foreign policy due to its strategic importance to these powers; (c) its internal factors including political turbulence, corruption, and fragile external relations, have been detrimental; and (d) the intensification of key powers’ influence has constrained its autonomy.
