Republic
Ladislava Knihová, The University of Finance and Administration,
Czech Republic
The.mission.of.the.chapter.is.to.explore.the.role.and.opportunities.of.peace.
marketing.in.modern.education.enhanced.by.the.application.of.soft.power.in.the.
strategic.documents.and.measures.adopted.by.the.Czech.government..The.research.
objectives.are.the.soft.power.strategy.and.peace.education.role.exploration..The.
chapter.contains.both.the.general.characteristics.of.soft.power.strategies.and.their.
actual.application.by.the.Czech.government..Then,.a.peace.marketing.education.
analysis.follows..As.a.research.tool,.a.structural.interview.has.been.designed.on.
the.basis.of.a.SWOT.analysis..Thanks.to.the.use.of.qualitative.methodology,.the.
research.proposal.is.aimed.at.getting.a.well-grounded.picture.of.the.situation.in.the.
Czech.Republic..By.proving.the.existence.of.a.wide.space.for.intelligent.and.smart.
peace.marketing.methods,.the.authors.are.capable.of.getting.the.issues.refined..As.
a.result,.further.research.directions.are.suggested.
Chapter 2
Promoting.Kashmir.as.an.Abode.of.Peace.Tourism.Destination.by.India.and.
Pakistan.................................................................................................................22
Anita Medhekar, Central Queensland University, Australia
Farooq Haq, Canadian University Dubai, UAE
The.aim.of.this.chapter.is.to.propose.peace.as.a.value.education..It.identifies.
challenges.and.opportunities.for.building.peace.infrastructure.and.marketing.Kashmir.
as.a.peace-brand.tourism.destination.for.peaceful.coexistence..It.contributes.to.the.

theory.of.tourism.and.peace.studies.with.18.dimensions.for.promoting.peace,.with.
an.objective.of.disarmament.for.economic.development,.social.transformation,.and.
prosperity.of.millions.in.India.and.Pakistan.
Chapter 3
Impact.of.Peace.and.Economic.Freedom.on.the.Prosperity.of.Middle.East.
and.North.African.Countries................................................................................50
Yilmaz Bayar, Usak University, Turkey
Significant.improvements.have.been.experienced.in.global.prosperity.in.the.recent.
years,.but.there.have.been.considerable.differences.at.prosperity.levels.of.different.
regions..Western.Europe.and.North.Africa.were.the.most.prosperous.regions.of.the.
world.in.2017,.while.Sub-Saharan.Africa.and.Middle.East.and.North.Africa.were.
the.least.prosperous.regions.of.the.world.in.2017..However,.Middle.East.and.North.
Africa.and.Sub-Saharan.Africa.are.also.the.least.peaceful.regions.of.the.world..
In.this.regard,.this.chapter.analyzes.the.effect.of.peace.and.economic.freedom.on.
prosperity.in.Middle.East.and.North.African.countries.with.panel.data.analysis..
The.results.of.empirical.analysis.revealed.that.both.peace.and.economic.freedom.
are.significant.determinants.of.prosperity.
Chapter 4
Peace.Without.an.Army:.Costa.Rica’s.Case.of.Tourism.Through.Peace.............66
Marinus C. Gisolf, Tourism Theories Asesores, Costa Rica
The.relationship.between.peace.and.tourism.is.described.against.the.background.of.
one.of.the.world’s.few.countries.that.has.no.army:.Costa.Rica..A.phenomenological.
approach.has.been.applied.to.describe.the.tourism.activity.within.a.space/place.
paradigm..Through.a.case.study.of.Costa.Rica’s.tourism.marketing.efforts,.it.is.
shown.that.originally.peace.was.foremost.a.political.and.physical.phenomenon.in.
the.sense.of.absence.of.war.or.internal.violence..Later.peace.started.to.play.a.more.
dominant.role.as.social.and.psychological.phenomenon,.while.tourism.development.
and.its.subsequent.marketing.messages.followed.similar.patterns..While.a.message.
of.security.and.safety.was.first.attached.to.the.peace.concept,.this.was.later.to.be.
replaced.by.a.message.of.natural.peaceful.environments.coupled.with.emotional.
stability..This.case.study.shows.that.when.images.of.peace.start.playing.a.role.in.
tourists’.expectation.patterns,.a.subtle.switch.takes.place.from.the.image.of.peace.as.
a.down-to-earth.place-related.lack.of.conflicts.to.nostalgic.views.of.utopian.spaces.
Chapter 5
Towards.Sustainable.Peace.by.Technology..........................................................85
Mauro Romanelli, University of Naples Parhenope, Italy

Peace.should.be.a.goal.that.communities.aim.at.achieving.to.enhance.the.wealth.
and.prosperity.of.society..Peace.is.a.source.for.companies,.governments,.and.cities.
creating.value.by.technology.within.social.and.business.ecosystems.relying.on.
dialogue.and.cooperation..The.aim.of.the.chapter.is.to.elucidate.how.technology.
helps.to.identify.a.path.to.promote.sustainable.peace.driving.communities.to.create.
value.within.digital,.social,.and.business.ecosystems..Technology.helps.to.sustain.
peace-building.and.drive.communities.towards.sustainable.peace.as.a.source.for.
growth.and.development.

Mounia El Farouki, Hassan II University, Morocco
The.marketing.of.peace.has.been.of.great.impact.during.the.previous.century.and.
the.first.two.decades.of.the.21st..From.famous.songs.to.international.institutions,.
the.efforts.to.establish.peace.as.a.universal.value.were.multiple..Marketing.tools.
are.the.main.approach.to.achieve.this.goal..Yet.marketing.peace.can.take.more.than.
one.form,.as.demarketing.war.is.also.used.to.prepare.people.to.reject.it.and.pressure.
governments.to.take.more.peaceful.measures.to.keep.their.interests..The.rise.of.
social.media.and.viral.videos.has.played.an.important.role.in.raising.the.awareness.
against.war.and.other.kinds.of.violence..Therefore,.this.research.aims.at.testing.the.
impact.of.those.videos.on.their.target.groups..To.achieve.this.goal,.the.researchers.
study.the.impact.of.emotional.and.objective.videos.about.the.war.in.Syria.to.assess.
their.impact.on.their.analysis.of.the.situation..As.a.key.finding,.the.two.groups.had.
different.approaches.depending.on.the.video.introducing.the.topic,.one.more.centered.
on.politics.and.another.giving.a.more.humanitarian.analysis.

Tourism.has.been.recognized.as.a.social.force.that.can.promote.international.
understanding,.cooperation,.and.global.fraternity.among.all.people.of.the.world..
Volunteer.tourism,.as.an.expanding.form.of.tourism,.is.becoming.one.of.the.
