This book explores how China’s Belt and Road Initiative through
promoting a non-Western-centred geopolitical narrative is affecting
the conservation and management of Belt and Road heritage sites.
Considering the dynamics between academics, heritage professionals,
and government officials, the inscription process and management of
Silk Roads heritage sites, and the practice of China’s Belt and
Road heritage diplomacy, the book examines how changing heritage
conservation practices are influenced by politics and
professionalism and negotiated in different ways across different
nation states in the Belt and Road zones. Highlighting the
different aims and outlooks of Chinese diplomacy, UNESCO and other
international heritage conservation organisations, nation states as
guardians of national interests, and local communities as
custodians of everyday lived heritage, it shows how the Belt and
Road Initiative has energized multilateral efforts in heritage
diplomacy and management. It also discusses how the
‘professional’ status of heritage professionals, including
practitioners engaged by governments and international
organisations and also scholars and researchers who provide
consultancy advice, is often not politics-free, with heritage
professionals often co-opted into speaking for stakeholders,
especially national governments.
The era of globalization allows for more connectivity between
nations and cultures. This increase in international association
gives citizens more availability to take advantage of opportunities
in other nations, such as medical assistance and accompanying
services. Current Issues and Emerging Trends in Medical Tourism
focuses on the emerging phenomena of international travel by
patients in search of improved healthcare services and treatment,
wellness programs, and complementary recreational activities.
Including extensive coverage and case studies focusing on patient
mobility and new opportunities for health services across borders,
this authoritative reference source is essential to the needs of
healthcare providers, nonprofit organizations, students, and
medical professionals seeking relevant research on the relationship
between global travel and access to healthcare. This publication
features innovative, research-based chapters spanning the spectrum
of medical travel issues including, but not limited to, customer
perceptions, ethical considerations, reproductive medicine, social
media use, family caregivers, organ transplants, human trafficking,
and surrogacy concerns.
