Abstract From 1870 to 1914, some 20,000 Danish migrants arrived in Canada directly from Denmark or through the United States. The Danes were highly sought after by Canadian governments as they were seen as agricultural, easily assimilated, and of northern stock. Danes spread themselves thinly across Canada, eroding a strong sense of identity and resulting in a historiography whose evolution, compared with that of other European ethnic groups, has been slower to accept new approaches and perspectives. This study will focus upon the 1872 to 1901 period of Danish migration and settlement in New Denmark, New Brunswick. Its first purpose is to explore political and policy aspects of New Denmark’s settlement history that had previously been neglected. Secondly, it will apply more modem techniques of analysis, such as the use of quantitative methods, to help bring the historiography of New Denmark and Danish migration more into line with work on other European migrant groups. Four main points will be argued: firstly that only with the help of a Dominion subsidy was New Brunswick willing to mount a serious recruitment, immigration, and settlement scheme, secondly that there exists no hard evidence proving New Denmark’s location was chosen as a buffer against Francophone encroachment, thirdly that New Denmark represents a distinct subset of Danish emigration, and finally that in part due to poor economic conditions, immigration to New Denmark was counterbalanced by an outflow of population of similar magnitude.

There are most likely a few people, however, that I have failed to acknowledge, and to those people I give now a hearty “thank you.” The patience, dedication, and guidance of my thesis supervisor, Bruce S. Elliott, has proved instrumental in the success of this endeavour. From the time I first arrived in Ottawa he has helped in every way and his tremendous commitment to his profession has proved a great motivator to me. It has been a pleasure to work with him. Carleton’s history department has great professors and I want to point out and also thank those who helped along the way, especially Marilyn Barber, Duncan McDowall, Del Muise, and James Opp. In addition, Joan White has provided, in her capacity as graduate secretary, substantial and perpetual support. Acknowledgement must also be given to the generous financial support which both the history department and the Shannon Scholarship in Canadian Social History provided me. As young historians quickly find out, history cannot be written without the help of committed archivists and librarians. The staff at the Provincial Archives of New Brunswick in Fredericton have proved so very helpful and I want to thank those with whom I was most acquainted, Twila Buttimer, Robbie Gilmore, and Lucy Jardine. The remarkable resource which the New Denmark museum provides and the helpfulness of those who administer and operate it cannot be overstated. Thank you to Ron Hansen and Lindsey Rasmussen. The staff at Archives & Special Collections at the Harriet Irving Library in Fredericton and the National Archives of Canada in Ottawa deserve a thank you for all their assistance. Without those hardworking individuals from the MacOdrum Library at Carleton University, this thesis could not have been written. I would like to especially thank the history reference librarian, Heather Berringer, and from inter-library loans, Karen Lynch and Christine Taylor. Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner. Further reproduction prohibited without permission. Writing a thesis requires a love of the subject While my love of history began when I was veiy young, there were important teachers and professors along the way who gave encouragement and helped me to this point Special thanks to Trudie Ranger, John Howe, Debby (McKnight) Finnigan, David Briggs, Bruce Hoyt, William Spray, Sheila Andrew, Pierette Pheeney, and the late Jurgen Doerr. There are many whose help, support, and advice has been appreciated. Thanks to Wendy Cameron, Roy Christensen, Helen Craig, Nick Evans, James Iversen, Olavi Koivukangas, Birgit Flemming Larsen, John Larsen, Diane Taylor Myles, Rev. Keith Nielsen, Christian Pedersen, Peter Toner, and John Willis. And who could forget family? To my parents, John and Marsha (Nielsen) and my sister Nanette, my heartfelt thanks for your support in all facets of this project. Y our love, support, and guidance helped make all this possible. To my in-laws, Gilles and Ginette (Maillet) and my sister-in- law Martine, I want to express my sincere gratitude for all the ways you have contributed and helped. The accomplishments of the past two years could not have been possible without my wife, Andree Kristine Godbout. Andree is a constant source of encouragement and strength and it is because of her faith and belief in me that I was able to muster the necessary confidence to complete this thesis. There are no words fully able to describe what she means to me. There were times in the past few years when I sought the guidance of family members, some long and others

Je soulad těchto územních prvků možné považovat za výjimku nebo za pravidlo? Jsou členské státy Unie zmítány neustálými reformami horizontálního uspořádání policejních složek, nebo si tyto systémy udržují dlouhodobou stabilitu?

Introduction Unemployment was high in Denmark during the 1980s and 90s, reaching a record level of 12.3% in 1994. Consequently, there was a perceived need for new actions and policies in the combat of unemployment, and a law Active Labour Market Policies (ALMPs) was enacted in 1994. The instated policy marked a dramatic regime change in the intensity of active labour market policies. After the reform, unemployment has decreased signi…cantly –in 1998 the unemploy- ment rate was 6.6% and in 2002 it was 5.2%. TABLE 1. UNEMPLOYMENT IN DANISH COUNTIES (EXCL.

Through legislative advocacy, litigation, research, public education, and technical assistance to state and local campaigns, A Better Balance is committed to helping workers care for their families without risking their economic security. www.abetterbalance.org I facebook.com/abetterbalance I @ABetterBalance 2 | Introduction: Ten years ago, a group of women’s rights lawyers came together to launch A Better Balance: The Work and Family Legal Center (ABB). For decades, women and mothers had been steadily increasing their workforce participation in a marketplace that demanded longer and less predictable hours of all workers. Yet the unpaid and often invisible work of caring for children, the sick, and the elderly continued to fall, primarily, on the shoulders of women. And workplace policies continued to assume that a breadwinner (almost always male) and a caregiver (almost always female) divided the tasks of providing economic support and care for the family, even while demographic realities proved otherwise. The problem ABB set out to address was easy to see but hard living paycheck to paycheck. While the media spotlight to name. Alternatively called “the care crisis,” the “work-family shone brightly on professional and higher-earning workers, dilemma”, and “the time crunch,” growing tensions between it routinely failed to address the stark realities facing those work and family responsibilities were harming a majority of struggling to meet their families’ basic needs with little to workers, and weighing most heavily on women in low-income, no inancial safety net.

Moore, Ph.D. Committee Member ______________________________________ William L. Portier, Ph.D. Committee Member ______________________________________ David J. O’Brien, Ph.D. Committee Member ii ABSTRACT INSTITUTIONAL INNOVATOR: SARGENT SHRIVER’S LIFE AS AN ENGAGED CATHOLIC AND AS AN ACTIVE LIBERAL Name: Martin, Daniel Edwin University of Dayton Advisor: Dr. Anthony B. Smith This dissertation argues that Robert Sargent Shriver, Jr.’s Roman Catholicism is undervalued when understanding his role crafting late 1950s and 1960s public policies. Shriver played a role in desegregating Chicago’s Catholic and public school systems as well as Catholic hospitals. He helped to shape and lead the Peace Corps. He also designed many of the programs launched in President Lyndon Johnson’s War on Poverty. Shriver’s ability to produce new policies and agencies within a broader structure of governance is well known. However, Shriver’s Catholicism is often neglected when examining his influence on key public policy initiatives and innovations. This dissertation argues that Shriver’s Roman Catholic upbringing formed him in such a way as to understand the nature of large bureaucracies and to see possibilities for innovation within an overarching structure.
