The economic and political transition brought many challenges for the Hungarian agricultural sector. The break-up of large agricultural holdings had serious negative impacts on food production and on the export of agricultural products. Capital intensive profit-seeking intermediaries dominate the trading of agricultural goods that has injurious effects in terms of downward pressure on production prices and an increase in consumer prices. Cooperatives have a key role in effectively tackling the common challenges that small-scale producers have to face. More vertical integration along the food chain could contribute to providing rural employment and to an increase in living standards in rural areas. This study reviews the development, the specific features and the driving forces of modern cooperatives in Central Europe in general, and in Hungary in particular. The focus is on the integrator role of cooperatives and their future role in our globalised world. JEL Classification: Q10, Q13

History Of Culture

AbstractCulture sector, which was transferred into the Ministry of Culture and Tourism since2001, was back to the Ministry of Education and Culture in October 2011. The changes oforganizational structure in ministerial level should be followed by changes of organizationalstructure in officials in provincial level. But in reality, the majority of provincial governmentsretain the culture sector together with tourism sector. This case provokes a question why thechange of organizational structure in the ministerial level is not followed by most of the officialsin provincial level. The method of this study is literature study of some articles and essays frombooks and internets, which contain history of culture sector in ministerial level, role of culturefor tourism, role of culture for education, as well as examples of official that manages culturesector in three provinces (West Kalimantan, West Sumatra, and Yogyakarta Special Region). Theresults shows that many officials merge culture sector together with tourism sector because themeaning of culture sector is considered to have a stronger synergy with tourism than education.The provincial government considers that culture sector needs to be empowered for the benefitof tourism sector. Conversely, tourism development will strengthen people’s culture in theirprovinces. Culture-based tourism development will also increase local income for the province AbstrakBidang kebudayaan yang sejak tahun 2001 bergabung dalam Kementerian Kebudayaandan Pariwisata, mulai Oktober 2011 beralih kembali ke Kementerian Pendidikan danKebudayaan. Perubahan struktur organisasi di tingkat kementerian tersebut semestinya diikutidengan perubahan struktur organisasi kedinasan di tingkat pemerintahan provinsi. Namundalam kenyataannya sebagian besar dinas di tingkat provinsi tetap mempertahankan bidangkebudayaan disatukan dengan bidang pariwisata. Hal ini menimbulkan pertanyaan, mengapaperubahan struktur organisasi di tingkat kementerian tersebut tidak diikuti oleh sebagian besardinas di tingkat provinsi? Metode yang digunakan dalam kajian ini adalah dengan melakukanstudi pustaka terhadap tulisan-tulisan dan laman-laman, yang memuat tentang sejarah bidangkebudayaan di tingkat kementerian, peran kebudayaan terhadap pariwista, peran kebudayaanterhadap pendidikan, serta contoh-contoh dinas yang menangani bidang kebudayaan di tigaprovinsi (Kalimantan Barat, Sumatera Barat, dan D.I. Yogyakarta). Hasil kajian menunjukkanbahwa hal tersebut disebabkan pemaknaan bidang kebudayaan yang dianggap lebih bersinergidengan pariwisata daripada pendidikan. Pemerintah provinsi memandang bidang kebudayaandapat diberdayakan untuk kepentingan bidang pariwisata. Sebaliknya, pengembangan pariwisataakan memperkokoh kebudayaan masyarakat di provinsi tersebut. Perkembangan pariwisatayang berbasis kebudayaan juga akan meningkatkan Pendapatan Asli Daerah (PAD) bagi provinsitersebut.

This chapter analyses the role of government initiatives in tourism competitiveness, using data collected from suppliers operating in a distressed tourist destination. The government’s involvement in the process of tourism development, especially in developing countries, is critical. The role and participation of governments in tourism development vary from minimal to a high level of involvement. Developing economies with ongoing political and economic challenges like Zimbabwe have not been comprehensively researched, especially on the nexus between competitiveness and government initiatives. Using qualitative data from a convenience sample of 15 hospitality and tourism managers in Zimbabwe, it was found that the role of government is important for enhancing tourism competitiveness. The study concludes that a higher level of government involvement is needed for Zimbabwe to enhance competitiveness. The government should play a greater role, especially in providing an enabling environment for improved competitiveness while reducing corruption.

Collaborative Activities

Purpose While tourism scholars have increasingly recognized the significance of collaboration as an essential element in tourism development, there is a lack of theoretical and empirical research centering on (trans)local collaboration as a central means for future tourism development in Greenland. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the conceptual and analytic potentials and challenges of collaboration in an explorative case study. Design/methodology/approach The paper applies a case study approach to scrutinize collaboration in the setting of a tourism workshop in South Greenland. This research approach is exploratory in nature and focuses on collaborative activities among participants from different research institutions and countries, from Campus Kujalleq in Qaqortoq, from small-scale enterprises and businesses, managers of destination marketing organizations and local fishermen. Findings Four “collaborative configurations” emerged during the workshop. These inspire and challenge ways of (re)conceptualizing collaborative tourism development in South Greenland and call for the reconsideration of the present approach toward tourism development for shaping new possible future(s) of tourism in the Greenlandic context. Originality/value The relevance of this paper emerges from the crucial significance that tourism actors in Greenland credit collaboration. Moreover, by approaching development issues from within and mutually developing possible practice solutions through collaboration with local tourism actors, the paper aims to give voice to the local community, which currently is lacking in the debate on tourism development in Greenland.

The aim of this small-scale grounded approach qualitative study was to examine the beliefs of selected external examination invigilators (EEIs) and infer the kinds of activities they consider important. The importance of this study rested in the fact that there is a paucity of research which examines the role of EEIs at secondary, further and higher education levels. Therefore, it aids in filling a literary gap and gives them a ‘voice’ in the research literature. Study participants were five EEIs, working in a London secondary school. Purposeful convenience or opportunity sampling was used in their selection. Informal interviews and participant observation were the research methods used. The findings revealed the fact that beliefs of the EEIs guide how they rated their role and that maintaining examination intangibles and procedures is of high importance. Implication of the findings are discussed.
