This research reports the findings of an empirical study into the behavioural attributes of the Chinese transformational leader in Singapore. The literature review reveals that the current research on transformational leadership only focuses on Western organisations. This research design used both qualitative and quantitative approaches. The qualitative research used the case study strategy as a primary instrument. This case study approach was to search for new themes and patterns across eight Chinese Chief Executives of medium to large-scale business enterprises. In the quantitative part of the research, the subordinates of the selected leader were identified to participate in the questionnaire survey – to rate their leaders' based on the presence and intensity of practice of the identified behavioural attributes. The six factors rotated uncovered a common list of behavioural attributes of the Chinese transformational leader that will facilitate the transformation process. Implications of the findings are discussed.

Cross-border cooperation among the Eastern neighbours of the European Union can be understood as a new approach to public policy and border governance in the region. There was no border cooperation strategy between communist and European countries during Soviet times. The question of the management of the Eastern border of the EU, especially with Belarus, Ukraine, and Moldova, came on the agenda in 1997, when accession to the union was finally opened to Eastern and Southern European candidates. With the Partnership and Cooperation Agreement that came into force in 1998, Ukraine signalled its foreign policy orientation as European, asserting that Western integration would help modernize its economy, increase living standards, and strengthen democracy and rule of law. The European Commission required “good neighbourly relations” as a further condition for accession and in conjunction, the concept of “Wider Europe” was proposed to set up border-transcending tasks. The Carpathian Euroregion was established to contribute to strengthening the friendship and prosperity of the countries of this region. However, the model was not fully understood and had only limited support of the national governments. This article uses the Carpathian Euroregion as a case study to show that overall Ukraine and the EU’s Eastern neighbourhood presents more opportunities for effective cooperation with the EU rather than barriers or risks.

The article is dedicated to the study of integration strategies of the institutions of cross-border cooperation, with the case study of Euregio Meuse-Rhine coming under scrutiny. The main questions addressed here are: what determines the perception by these institutions of the power structure of the regionalization process, in what way this perception manifests itself and how it shapes the power status of the Euregio with respect to the local, national and supranational authorities. To answer these questions, the author analyzes the regionalization process in its retrospective dimension and then conducts Foucauldian discourse analysis of the main policy document of the institution of the Euregio to find out how it perceives the power structure of regionalization as a form of cross-border integration and how it intends to shape the way other entities perceive it. The author explains that the regionalization process is so complex and multifaceted that it inevitably leads to coopetition between various actors that try at the same time to assert their power status, outline their rights and responsibilities and retain implicit control over general perception of them by the others. In the course of this analysis it is concluded that the institutions of the euroregions use many discursive tools to properly present themselves, and by doing so they attempt to assume a leading role in a process of further regionalization, while playing down the contribution of the supranational bodies to this process and attributing blame for its not sufficient realization to the national authorities. In fact, the euroregional institutions have appropriated the discourse of regionalization and established an infrastructure of control and regulation that determines the way they shape extra linguistic reality, particularly power relations in the region.

Background In recent times, the internationalization of nursing education and the collaboration with international academic partners has become a priority of academic institutions’ strategic plans and visions. This coupled with the fact that the world has entered a critical period in terms of addressing health and preparing nurses to address health needs has made this study timeous. In view of these historical challenges, nursing education institutions, nursing colleges and universities with nursing faculties in South Africa have, in recent years, engaged in international partnerships. These collaborative partnerships have influenced the delivery and facilitation of transnational nursing education (TNE) or cross-border nursing programmes, both nationally and internationally. Challenges raised with regards to TNE delivery systems are often related to issues revolving around academic design and implementation. Further issues such as the differences between the host institution’s general goals, the academic programs, student characteristics and social and cultural dimensions as compared to the awarding institution, add to these challenges. Aim The aim of this study was to explore the perspectives and practices and experiences of nursing education institutions, academic leaders and graduates, who were involved in TNE. Based on the findings of this study, the ultimate aim was to develop guidelines for the implementation of TNE in NEIs. Methodology A qualitative multiple case-study approach was employed to explore institutional perspectives and practices related to TNE. The population comprised nursing education institutions, academic leaders and nursing graduates that were involved in TNE programs. In order to draw comparison between South African TNE practices and perspectives with international best operating practices relating to TNE, other global academic leaders and institutions involved in this type of education were invited to participate in the study. Institutional records were analysed for descriptions and patterns related to conceptual issues, structures and processes that are known to impact either negatively or positively on TNE. Results The study findings revealed that access to ‘importing’ and ‘exporting’ of nursing programs are still faced with many challenges by all stakeholders. It was also revealed that the lack of guidance during TNE ventures allude to cross-border nursing education being a ‘for profit’ arrangement. From the findings the researcher was able to propose and develop guidelines for the implementation of TNE for nursing education institutions, academic leaders and students. It is hoped that these guidelines will be considered as a tool to improve TNE delivery in terms of quality assurance, accreditation, registration, and qualification recognition.

The increasing consumption of digital content and services in the era of globalization raises problems related to the collection of Value Added Tax (VAT) on cross-border transactions. One of the problems related to VAT according to the OECD in the BEPS Action Plan 1 is inequality between nonresident and resident tax payer which results in market distortions and substantially impacts on VAT revenue. Nowadays, the Directorate General of Taxes is difficult to supervise VAT on the consumption of digital content and services by consumers instead of Taxable Person. This research discusses supplier, intermediary, and customs collection and current implementation in Australia, Japan and India. This research is a qualitative research with a descriptive case study approach. Supplier and intermediary collection with a simplified registration and collection of VAT for nonresident providers can be a solution to the problems related to VAT on this kind of consumption by consumers.

Given its high level of regulation, the gambling industry must be able to react quickly to litigation and resulting change in policy (and enforcement thereof).  Using a case study approach, this short paper highlights how the twin issues of policy and litigation have recently impacted the gambling industry in the European Union.  Examples focus on recent developments in the EU that outline the relevant contours of the European Court of Justice’s jurisprudence, with a special emphasis on the dynamic situation in Greece.   These examples shape the ensuing discussion of the future of both the regulation and litigation of the EU’s gambling industry.

The EU was founded on the project of “Europe without borders”, which means elimination of internal borders between Member States according to Article 26 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. The counterpart of this objective has been the transfer of the controls to the external EU borders. In the Schengen area, external borders are controlled by common principles and procedures encompassed in the 2016 Schengen Borders Code. Member States have negotiated the Schengen agreement to maintain such external border controls, with the aim of protecting their citizens from various dangers and guaranteeing their national migration policies towards third-country nationals. Member States have therefore transposed the function of national border controls to the external EU borders. Cross-border cooperation within the EU has developed to reinforce the Schengen Space of free movement and has been jeopardized by the unorganized massive peak arrivals of migrants in 2015. This article analyses whether the 2015 Schengen crisis confirms the security-orientated approach or not, specifically as the crisis confronts the EU with national claims to recover the control of internal borders. It has been argued that this movement is proof of the resilience of Westphalian borders. This article is an attempt to show how European judicial power tried to limit such a national re-appropriation of borders, leading to a functional distinction between internal and external borders that may allow a departure from an exclusive security-orientated approach of external borders of the European Union towards a more cohesive approach to controls at EU external borders.
