However, the thesis argues that this approach does not distinguish adequately between policies favourable ta the growth and prosperity of developed countries and those pertaining ta developing countries in part because the paradigm has an impoverished notion of information, communication, and culture. By fostering this economic paradigm in developing countries, these organizations may, in effect, be imposing an inconsistent model on them in many respects. This thesis explores this conundrum with particular reference to the model's concepts ofinformation, communication, and culture and the consequences of these concepts on the application of the model in Sub­ Saharan Africa, spedfically in Ghana. The thesis emplcys case studies to demonstrate the impact of cultural imperatives on the neoclassical economic concepts of efficiency of competition, trade liberalization, currency devaluation, public expenditure reduction, and privatization promoted by the structural adjustment programme. It suggests that sorne of the failures of the programme may be ascribed ta the great differences between the imperatives of neoclassical economics and the cultural realities of Sub-Saharan Africa. The thesis takes the position that the incorporation of an understanding of culture and economy similar ta that of the communicologists' holistic and wider perspective on economics and economic systems would ameliorate many weaknesses of the structural adjustment programmes of the !MF and the World Bank and enhance the effectiveness of future structural adjustment programmes. ü RÉsUME~ Pendant presque deux décennies, les grandes institutions financières internationales, la Banque mondiale et le Fonds monétaire international ont imposé leur programme d'ajustement structurel aux pays du Tiers-Monde, notamment en Afrique du sud du Sahara. Ce programme a contribué à rapparition, à un rythme inégalé, de méthodes de gestion financières néo-classiques. Toutefois, la présente thèse argumente que cette approche ne fait pas de distinction adéquate entre les politiques qui favorisent la croissance et la prospérité des pays développés et les politiques qui s'appliquent aux pays en voie de développement, en partie, en raison du fait que le paradigme répond â une notion appauvrie d'information, de communication et de culture. En encourageant ce paradigme économique dans les pays en voie de développement, ces institutions risquent en effet d'imposer un modèle inconséquent sur ces pays et ce, de nombreuses façons. La présente thèse examine cette question et s'attarde tout particulièrement aux concepts d'information, de communication et de culture du modèle ainsi qu'aux conséquences de ces concepts sur l'application du modèle en Afrique du sud du Sahara, particulièrement au Ghana. La thèse repose sur tles études de cas pour démontrer l'impact des impératifs culturels sur les concepts économiques néo-classiques de concurrence, de libéralisation des échanges, de dévaluation monétaire, de réduction des dépenses publiques et de privatisation encouragés par le programme d'ajustement structurel. La présente thèse évoque l'idée que certains des échecs du programme peuvent en fait être attnbués aux différences de taille entre les impératifs de l'économie néo-classique et les réalités culturelles d'Afrique du sud du Sahara. La présente thèse juge que l'intégration d'une meilleure compréhension de la culture et de l'économie, comme le veut la perspective holistique et plus ouverte des communicologistes face â l'économie et aux systèmes économiques, pallierait les nombreuses faiblesses des programmes d'ajustement structurel du FMI et de la Banque mondiale et améliorerait l'efficacité des programmes d'ajustement structurels futurs. ili • ACKNOWLEDGEMENT This dissertation was prepared under the supervision ofProfessors David Crawley and Robert Babe. 1 thank them for their encouragement, guidance, and intellectual support. 1 thank Ms. Lise Ouimet of the Graduate Programme in Communication.

Photo courtesy of the Lee County Visitor & Convention Bureau. “It’s these changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes…” – Jimmy Buffett On behalf of the Program Committee, welcome to the 74th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Brewing Chemists! This is the first time our meeting has been in Fort Myers, Florida, nicknamed the “City of Palms.” Our meeting location is right on the Intercoastal Waterway right across from Sanibel Island, making it a perfect place to get away from the daily grind (brewing pun intended) and to really focus on The Science of Beer. This year, several elements of the program came together to create our theme, Beer: A Matter of Science and Perception. ASBC meetings Jeff Cornell draw many of the best brewing scientists from around the world to present their work and share their knowledge. But scientific research applied to beer and brewing is rarely black or white. Part of that “gray” area involves another science – perception. The way we perceive things touches our professional lives on a daily basis, whether it’s a sensory evaluation of beer or how we go about solving problems. So to explore Table of Contents these areas further, the program features two outstanding speakers: Jeannine Delwiche on “Impact of Multimodal Sensory Input on Perception of Beer Flavor,” and Karl Siebert on “Changing Schedule at a Glance ............... 3 Paradigms.” Also on the perception theme, you’ll find a pre-meeting short course addressing the Program many aspects of beer haze and colloidal stabilization and a sensory workshop focused on mouth- Friday .................................

  • Our Society Lacks Consistently Defined Attitudes
    ‘OUR SOCIETY LACKS CONSISTENTLY DEFINED ATTITUDES TOWARDS THE BLACK BEAR’: THE HISTORY OF BLACK BEAR HUNTING AND MANAGEMENT IN ONTARIO, 1912-1987 by MICHAEL COMMITO, B.A. (HONS), M.A. McMaster University DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (2015) Hamilton, Ontario (History) TITLE: ‘Our society lacks consistently defined attitudes towards the black bear’: The History of Black Bear Hunting and Management in Ontario, 1912-1987 AUTHOR: Michael Commito, B.A. (Hons) (Laurentian University), M.A. (Laurentian University) SUPERVISOR: Dr. Ken Cruikshank NUMBER OF PAGES: vii, 282 ii ABSTRACT What kind of animal was a black bear? Were black bears primarily pests, pets, furbearers or game animals? Farmers, conservationists, tourists, trappers, and hunters in early twentieth- century Ontario could not agree. Even as the century progressed, ideas about bears remained twisted and there was often very little consensus about what the animal represented. These varying perceptions complicated the efforts of the provincial Department of Game and Fisheries and its successor agencies, the Department of Lands and Forests and the Ministry of Natural Resources, to develop coherent bear management policies. Perceptions about black bears often conflicted and competed with one another and at no one time did they have a single meaning in Ontario. The image of Ontario’s black bears has been continuously negotiated as human values, attitudes, and policies have changed over time. As a result, because of various and often competing perspectives, the province’s bear management program, for most of the twentieth century, was very loose and haphazard because the animal had never been uniformly defined or valued. Examining the history of these ambiguous viewpoints towards the black bear in Ontario provides us with a snapshot of how culture intersects with our natural resources and may pose challenges for management.
