  • Canada's Policy Towards Communist China, 1949-1971
    Lakehead University Knowledge Commons,http://knowledgecommons.lakeheadu.ca Electronic Theses and Dissertations Electronic Theses and Dissertations from 2009 2014-01-22 Canada's policy towards Communist China, 1949-1971 Holomego, Kyle http://knowledgecommons.lakeheadu.ca/handle/2453/494 Downloaded from Lakehead University, KnowledgeCommons CANADA’S POLICY TOWARDS COMMUNIST CHINA, 1949-1971 by Kyle Holomego A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Department of History Lakehead University December 2012 1 Abstract The decision of the Canadian government in 1970 to recognize the People’s Republic of China, which controlled Mainland China, as the official government of China, as opposed to the Republic of China, which only controlled Taiwan, was the end result of a process lasting more than two decades. In that time frame, Canada’s China policy would undergo many different shifts. A close examination shows that these shifts were closely linked to the shifting attitudes of successive Canadian leaders. Four different prime ministers would serve in office during Canada’s recognition process, and the inauguration of each prime minister signaled a shift in Canada’s China policy. The issue of recognizing the People’s Republic of China was intertwined with several other issues that were important to Canada. Among these were the economic potential of China, Canada’s need for collective agreements to ensure its security, the desire of the United States to influence Canadian policy, and the desire of Canadian officials to demonstrate the independence of Canadian policy. Of the four prime ministers, three – Louis St.

  • South Africa's Big Five: Bold Priorities for Inclusive
    SOUTH AFRICA’S BIG FIVE: BOLD PRIORITIES FOR INCLUSIVE GROWTH SEPTEMBER 2015 In the 25 years since its founding, the McKinsey Global Institute (MGI) has sought to develop a deeper understanding of the evolving global economy. As the business and economics research arm of McKinsey & Company, MGI aims to provide leaders in the commercial, public, and social sectors with the facts and insights on which to base management and policy decisions. MGI research combines the disciplines of economics and management, employing the analytical tools of economics with the insights of business leaders. Our “micro-to-macro” methodology examines microeconomic industry trends to better understand the broad macroeconomic forces affecting business strategy and public policy. MGI’s in-depth reports have covered more than 20 countries and 30 industries. Current research focuses on six themes: productivity and growth, natural resources, labour markets, the evolution of global financial markets, the economic impact of technology and innovation, and urbanization. Recent reports have assessed global growth; the economies of Brazil, Mexico, Nigeria, and Japan; China’s digital transformation; India’s path from poverty to empowerment; the effects of global debt; and the economics of online talent platforms and the labour market. MGI is led by three McKinsey & Company directors: Richard Dobbs, James Manyika, and Jonathan Woetzel. Michael Chui, Susan Lund, and Jaana Remes serve as MGI partners. Project teams are led by the MGI partners and a group of senior fellows, and include consultants from McKinsey & Company’s offices around the world. These teams draw on McKinsey & Company’s global network of partners and industry and management experts.

  • The 1965-66 Board of Governors
    In concluding, I would express my gratitude to the Government of Japan for their invitation to hold the Agency's General Conference in Tokyo and for the excellent facilities placed at our disposal for this purpose. It is fitting that a country with such an outstanding record of progress in the peaceful uses of atomic energy should be the host for the first conference of the Agency held away from headquarters. There may be some significance in the related fact that Japan is unique in its legislation which provides that atomic energy must only be used for peaceful purposes. THE 1965-66 BOARD OF GOVERNORS The newly-constituted Board of Governors, at its first meeting in Tokyo at the conclusion of the Ninth Session of the General Conference in September, elected Mr. Shinsaku Hogen of Japan as Chairman of the Board for 1965-66. He succeeds Miss Blanche Margaret Meagher of Canada. Mr. Hogen has been in the Diplomatic Service since 1937 and is Ambassador to Austria. He has held a number of diplomatic posts in Germany, USSR and USA, and before being appointed to Vienna, he was Director of the European Affairs Bureau at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Tokyo. Mr. F. Hercik (Czechoslovakia) 19 Mr. S. Hogen (Japan) The Board also elected two Vice-Chairmen: Mr. T.A. Marulanda (Columbia), who is Executive Director of the Nuclear Energy Institute of Columbia; and Mr. Ferdinand Hercik (Czechoslovak Socialist Republic) who is Director of the Biophysics Institute, Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences. Seven new Board members were elected by the General Conference : Austria, Colombia, Korea, Pakistan, Yugoslavia, Ghana, and Tunisia.
