Fire and the Full Moon

Canada and Indonesia in a Decolonizing World

By: David Webster

Our image of Canada’s postwar foreign policy is dominated by the Cold War, while the story of Canada’s response to decolonization in the Global South is less well known. This book explores Canadian-Indonesian relations to determine whether Canada’s postwar foreign policy was guided by an overarching set of altruistic principles. It shows that Canada remained a loyal member of the Western alliance. Canada wanted developing countries to follow its own non-revolutionary model of decolonization and paid little attention to violations of human rights. Webster’s reassessment of Canada’s foreign-policy objectives in Indonesia, and of its own national image, will appeal to students of diplomatic history interested in Asia and the developing world.

Imports and Politics

Trade Decision-making in Canada, 1968-1979

By: David R. Protheroe

From the Executive Summary: This study of federal government trade decision-making focuses on the traditional concerns of commercial policy - tariffs and non-tariff barriers to imports...In contrast to many IRRP studies, this one does not specifically aspire to reform the trade decision-making process in Canada. Its more restricted purpose is to provide, as objectivelly as possible, a descriptive analysis of how trade decisions were made by the Trudeau government in the years 1968 to 1979. This empirical orientation is reflected in our testing of several well-known decision models against information gathered in interviews with politicians, public servants and private citizens. These decision models are outlined in Chapter One....Chapter Two consists of a description of the broad environment of trade decision-makers...It is intended primarily as backgroun for the uninitiated. The three chapters following analyze the roles of private groups and government institutions participating in the process off making trade policy....Chapter Six presents a case study using the various decision models as analytical tools. It deals with the imposition of quantitiative controls on "low cost" textiles and clothing imports...Chapter Seven summarizes the general features of trade decision-making in the Trudea government....Chapters Eight and Nine present a comparative analysis of decision-making in several trade policy "subsystems"....The study ends with a discussion of the frequency of and the conditions requisite to the functioning of the different decision models.

Aid and Ebb Tide

A History of CIDA and Canadian Development Assistance

By: David R. Morrison

Aid and Ebb Tide: A History of CIDA and Canadian Development Assistance examines Canada’s mixed record since 1950 in transferring over $50 billion in capital and expertise to developing countries through ODA. It focuses in particular on the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), the organization chiefly responsible for delivering Canada’s development assistance. Aid and Ebb Tide calls for a renewed and reformed Canadian commitment to development co-operation at a time when the gap between the world’s richest and poorest has been widening alarmingly and millions are still being born into poverty and human insecurity.

Particle Physics

Cargèse 1985

By: Maurice Lévy,Jean-Louis Basdevant,Maurice Jacob,David Speiser,Jacques Weyers,Raymond Gastmans

The 1981 Cargese Summer Institute on Fundamental Interactions was organized by the Universite Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris (M. LEVY and J-L. BASDEVANT), CERN (M. JACOB), the Universite Catholique de Louvain (D. SPEISER and J. WEYERS), and the Kotholieke Universiteit te Leuven (R. GASTMANS), which, since 1975 have joined their efforts and worked in common. It was the 24th Summer Institute held at Cargese and the 8th one organized by the two institutes of theoretical physics at Leuven and Louvain-Ia-Neuve. The 1985 school was centered around two main themes : the standard model of the fundamental interactions (and beyond) and astrophysics. The remarkable advances in the theoretical understanding and experimental confirmation of the standard model were reviewed in several lectures where the reader will find a thorough analysis of recent experiments as well as a detailed comparaison of the standard model with experiment. On a more theoretical side, supersymmetry, supergravity and strings were discussed as well. The second theme concerns astrophysics where the school was quite successful in bridging the gap between this fascinating subject and more conventional particle physics. We owe many thanks to all those who have made this Summer Institute possible ! Thanks are due to the Scientific Committee of NATO and its President and to the "Region Corse" for a generous grant. .. We wish to thank Miss M-F. HANSELER, Mrs ALRIFRAI, Mr and Mrs ARIANO, and Mr BERNIA and all others from Paris, Leuven, Louvain-la-Neuve and especially Cargese for their collaboration.

Environmental Science and International Politics

Acid Rain in Europe, 1979-1989, and Climate Change in Copenhagen, 2009

By: David E. Henderson,Susan K. Henderson

Environmental Science and International Politics features two reacting games in one volume, immersing students in the complex process of negotiating international treaties to control environmental pollution. The issues are similar in all the modules; environmental justice, national sovereignty, and the inherent uncertainty of the costs and benefits of pollution control. Students also must understand the basic science of each problem and possible solutions. Acid Rain in Europe, 1979-1989 covers the negotiation of the Long Range Transport Pollution treaty. This was the first ever international pollution control treaty and remains at the forefront of addressing European pollution. This game can be used in a variety of ways and to examine either sulfur dioxide pollution, nitrogen oxide pollution, or both. This game includes summaries of a number of relevant technical articles to support student arguments. Students must deal with the limitations of national resources as they decide how much of their limited money to spend. Climate Change in Copenhagen, 2009 covers the negotiations at the Conference of Parties 15 meeting that was attended by a large number of national leaders. The game also includes representatives of non-government organizations and the press. Students wrestle with the need to work within conflicting limits set by their governments.

The Coming of the Railway

A New Global History, 1750-1850

By: David Gwyn

The first global history of the epic early days of the iron railway Railways, in simple wooden or stone form, have existed since prehistory. But from the 1750s onward the introduction of iron rails led to a dramatic technological evolution--one that would truly change the world. In this rich new history, David Gwyn tells the neglected story of the early iron railway from a global perspective. Driven by a combination of ruthless enterprise, brilliant experimenters, and international cooperation, railway construction began to expand across the world with astonishing rapidity. From Britain to Australia, Russia to America, railways would bind together cities, nations, and entire continents. Rail was a tool of industry and empire as well as, eventually, passenger transport, and developments in technology occurred at breakneck speed--even if the first locomotive in America could muster only 6 mph. The Coming of the Railway explores these fascinating developments, documenting the early railway's outsize social, political, and economic impact--carving out the shape of the global economy as we know it today.

Christmas Turkey Or Prairie Vulture?

An Economic Analysis of the Crow's Nest Pass Grain Rates

By: David R. Harvey

From the Foreword: Dr. Harvey deals with one of the oldest problems of the Prairie provinces: the carriage of grain to world markets efficiently and at low cost to the producer...The problem is how to reform the system without injury to the Prairie economy and unfairness to the producers. Dr. Harvey argues that a change in system is indeed possible, with benefit to grain producers, to the agricultural economy of the West, to the taxpayers of Canada - and possibly even to the railways. He recognizes that compensation must be paid to grain producers if freight rates for the movement of grain are increased to an economic level. He proposes a method of compensation that, he thinks, will permit economic forces to produce a net benefit to western agriculture, and will result in an increase in Pairie income and a diversification of the western economy.
