Through interviews with 38 cross-national families of the Singaporean-husband and foreign-wife pairing, we show how the integration of lower income marriage migrants in Singapore is experienced through the interrelated domains of the structural, social and cultural, while foregrounding the family as an added domain of interest. Although marriage to citizen-husbands create privileged pathways to citizenship rights and hence forms of integration, this is neither predictable nor unidirectional—family members play a crucial part in rendering support and at times, constraining female marriage migrants' integration. Contributing to wider debates on whether cross-border marriages are indicators, if not, facilitators of integration, this paper shows how female marriage migrants' integration in Singapore is highly relational and tied not only to the level of support and openness from their husbands, their interactions with other domains of integration are also dependent on the quality of relationships with extended family members.</p>","PeriodicalId":46928,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Viewpoint","volume":"66 1","pages":"85-94"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/apv.12439","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143762364","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, this study investigates the relationships among customer satisfaction, brand loyalty and consumer repurchase intentions from the perspective of service quality, and form a conceptual model for constructing consumer repurchase intentions. This study conducted a structural equation model (SEM) analysis of 226 samples. Based on the analysis results, there were two findings: First, for the influencing factors of consumer repurchase intentions, the positive direct impact of service quality is higher than brand loyalty and customer satisfaction. Second, in the proposed model, brand loyalty and customer satisfaction play the mediation variable between service quality and repurchase intention. The service quality will not only directly affect the repurchase intention, but also has an indirect impact through brand loyalty and customer satisfaction.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":46928,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Viewpoint","volume":"66 1","pages":"73-84"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143762368","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since the turn of the new century, the ethnic Chinese population in France has become increasingly heterogeneous in migratory trajectory and socioeconomic profile. Accordingly, the focus on economic activities among tight-knit groups in the traditional model of an ethnic enclave economy might not be adequate to capture new developments in Chinese entrepreneurship that also involve transnational religious practises. Drawing on a multi-year ethnographic study of the Chinese Christian community in Paris—a major business centre of Chinese wholesale products in Europe, this article explores the Chinese congregational life in one of the most secularised areas of Europe in order to provide an alternative explanation for the relationship of religion and Chinese entrepreneurship. It shows that the main stakeholders spearheading diasporic church growth are those first-generation male Chinese family entrepreneurs who place paramount emphasis on maintaining ethnic cultural roots and a traditional patriarchal social order. The image of Chinese Christian entrepreneurs with both intense economic aspirations and religious zeal navigating daily life in diaspora provides a timely counterpoint to the popular view of global Chinese migrants as purely economic agents.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":46928,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Viewpoint","volume":"66 1","pages":"54-63"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143762352","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing upon the concept of reflexivity and building on the previous literature, two types of reflexivity, self-reflexivity and co-reflexivity, were introduced and incorporated into a research process. It is argued that co-reflexivity, where co-researchers engaging in reflexive dialogues, can be an essential component to a process of reflexive activities, in addition to self-reflexivity. During the journey of designing and applying this incorporated process, we were able to manage ethical, methodological and emotional challenges, to gain in-depth and critical interpretations of the participant's narratives, to mitigate researcher biases, and to inspire new ideas for future research. We argue this process may serve as a working structure for exercising reflexivity within a small multidisciplinary/cross-functional research team.

The paper first analyses interviews with Pacific diplomats in Taiwan, discussing how diplomats link meanings of diplomacy to socio-cultural protocols in their home countries. Three themes that emerge in explanations of diplomacy are bartering/exchange, building/maintaining friendships and properly building/reinforcing inter-island relationships. The paper next considers how interviews with Tuvaluan diplomats/officials focused on themes similar to those outlined by other Pacific diplomats but also revealed specific cultural mechanisms of diplomacy including the <i>alofa</i>, or ‘giving of gifts’. Subsequently, the article examines how Taiwanese diplomats/officials contemplate diplomacy, specifically how Taiwan's competition with China/the PRC has created negative conceptions of formal diplomacy. Taiwanese ideas of diplomacy often clash with Tuvaluan/Pacific conceptions because Taiwan sees diplomatic allies as always on the verge of severing ties and inherently disloyal. The conclusion discusses how cultural values and their influence on conceptions of diplomacy can engender tension in diplomatic relationships while also underscoring the importance of seeing diplomacy as both multifaceted and multiply understood.</p>","PeriodicalId":46928,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Viewpoint","volume":"66 1","pages":"43-53"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/apv.12433","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143762235","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The diversely positioned authors discuss this idea using the subject of soil, in the place and context of Aotearoa New Zealand. Little is known about the diversity of ways that everyday people value, or, have caring relationships for/with soil, among a plethora of research that positions soil ‘care’ around, for example, commercial food production, waste-sinking, or property land value. To study diverse care in relation to soil, as with many relational subjects, requires equivalent diversity in the ways in which we might explore it. Here we outline the basis for diverse, situated methodologies that necessarily lead to a diversity of methods. This paper looks at the methodological imperatives that lead to exploring care, and discusses a variety of methods that generate different forms of ‘data’ with different forms of representation of that care. We observe that to holistically observe care relations with soil requires a diversity of methodologies, inherently ontological and epistemological – worldmaking. We discuss situated and enactive, affective approaches of Kaupapa Māori enquiry, monitoring and arts-based approaches to ‘measure’ soil care taking place, in place, and contextualise this with our own author positionality. We discuss this suite of experimental, reflexive, affective and responsive ways to measure soil care that are contingent on that being cared about, for, with and by, and which reciprocally give care.</p>","PeriodicalId":46928,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Viewpoint","volume":"66 2","pages":"224-236"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144910425","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Paradoxically, the meaning of urban inclusion has narrowed such that it now primarily refers to accessibility for people with disabilities. At the intersection of urban studies and critical disability studies, our article investigates the conceptions, criteria and modes of production underlying the implementation of urban inclusion in Singapore's ‘Enabling Village’, a purportedly inclusive space opened in 2015. We use a mixed-methods approach, analysing official narratives and conducting site visits to understand the site as both an appropriated and a branded space. We show that, in Singapore, the inclusion agenda interacts with the city-state's distinctive approach to planning and governance, where social issues are ‘engineered’ and give rise to replicable operational models. Our hypothesis is that implementing the inclusive city through the production and promotion of ‘inclusive’ urban projects such as the Enabling Village fuels the expansion of Singapore as a state-led ‘entrepreneurial city’ (Harvey, <i>Geografiska Annaler. Series B, Human Geography</i> 1989; 71(1):3–17).
