For the two last decades, Indonesia has experienced a critical problem related to violence amongst its citizens. Children or young people usually become the victims of the conflict and violence. Unfortunately, this problem has been associated with Islamic teaching since the Bali Bombings in 2001 and 2002 involving some Pesantren (Islamic Schools) and Islamic students. “Peace Generation” (PG), founded in Bandung, West Java, has been developing a creative peace education program based on Islamic teaching. It has produced a unique series of modules, entitled “12 Basic Values of Peace,” which are taught in Islamic schools as well as youth communities. In addition, Peace Generation has created some great programs to disseminate Islamic values of peace. The responses of students show that this program has been successfully implemented. Therefore, we can see that Islam is able to play a significant role in spreading the values of peace if we develop Islamic teaching in creative ways.

This article details my position in the debate about nomenclature in the nonnative-English-speaking teacher (NNEST) movement and calls for an intersectional critical approach in second-language (L2) teacher identity research. It also responds to a 2017 argument by Graham that L2 teacher identity research that calls for the reexamination and retirement of the terms NEST-NNEST should be attended to separately from the NNEST movement to better serve the movement itself.

Full details Jo-Ansie van Wyk and Dimitri Tassiopoulos. ‘Policy, politics and events: a case study of South Africa’s 2010 FIFA World Cup: managing international sports events in a sustainable political context.’ International Journal of Management Cases. Special issue on CIRCLE (Centre for International Research Consumers, Locations and their Environments) Conference 2009, 11, 2, 2009. pp. 601-618. Governments, according to Mason (2008) and Tassiopoulos (2005) are frequently referred to as the public sector of the events industry. The role of the public sector however in many countries has what seems, at face value, to be contradictory. Governments not only try to regulate events but also have a role in the marketing of events. On 15 May 2004, South Africa was announced as the winner of the bid to host the 2010 FIFA World Cup, a decade after the country's first democratic elections. During the bidding process leading up this announcement, the benefits of hosting such a mega event were argued. Apart from branding it as an African Cup, in line with the then South African President, Thabo Mbeki's notion of an Africa Renaissance and pan-African solidarity and integration. A second argument focused on the economic benefits of hosting the event. The vision of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, according to 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa (2008): will seek to strengthen the African and South African image, promote new partnerships with the world as we stage a unique and memorable event that will inspire us to drive our collective determination to be significant global players in all fields of human endeavour. This case study follows an eclectic approach, which applies the dimensions and variables of sustainability and impact presented by Vanclay (2002; 2003; 2004), Gursoy, Kim and Uysal (2003), Vancouver 2010 and ASTS (2008), and Getz (2007). For South Africa, like many developing countries, development is of critical importance and an important instrument to undo the socio-economic legacy of apartheid. An event such as the 2010 FIFA World Cup can result in significant socioeconomic development for the country. However, it is the sustainability and socio-economic legacy of the event that will determine this outcome. Here, the study has applied six indicators of sustainability, including the political impact, social context and community cohesiveness, economic spin-offs, social incentives, environmental impact and the social cost. The sustainability of each of these indicators is already challenged in the run-up to the event.

The direction set by President Erdogan in the last few years has already set a clear agenda of cooperation which even the opposition president Muharram Ince couldn’t have ignored, as Turkey’s foreign policy and its security imperatives have grown.
