The workshop was initiated and sponsored by the Minerals Management Services (MMS) through the Technology Assessment and Research (TAR) program. C-CORE of St. John’s, Newfoundland in collaboration with AGRA Earth & Environmental, Colt Engineering and Tri Ocean of Calgary, Alberta led the workshop on behalf of MMS. The objective of the workshop was to bring together members of the public and a group of experts with skills related to offshore pipeline design, operation maintenance and inspection to examine the current state of practice for pipeline alternatives under consideration for Alaska offshore oil & gas reserves. A key aspect of the workshop was that it was open to the public and the speakers were urged to make their presentations in a format that would avoid highly technical discussions, formal lectures and commercial overtones. Rather, speakers were urged to provide a candid presentation that would focus on their particular area of expertise in such a way that it could be seen how Arctic pipeline development is undertaken to address the concerns and interest of the public sector, the regulators, the designers and the operators.

A. Concordia University, 2018 This thesis examines the manifestation of a national security state in Trinidad and Tobago (T&T) that emerged in the context of decolonization, during the period between 1946 and 1978, when the country achieved internal self-government, independence, and, finally, became a republic. The T&T national security state developed from its roots in British Crown Colony rule, however the concept of the “national security state” was originally derived from an analysis of Unites States (US) in the immediate post-WWII period.
