  • China's Aircraft Carrier Ambitions
    CHINA’S AIRCRAFT CARRIER AMBITIONS An Update Nan Li and Christopher Weuve his article will address two major analytical questions. First, what are the T necessary and suffi cient conditions for China to acquire aircraft carriers? Second, what are the major implications if China does acquire aircraft carriers? Existing analyses on China’s aircraft carrier ambitions are quite insightful but also somewhat inadequate and must therefore be updated. Some, for instance, argue that with the advent of the Taiwan issue as China’s top threat priority by late 1996 and the retirement of Liu Huaqing as vice chair of China’s Central Military Commission (CMC) in 1997, aircraft carriers are no longer considered vital.1 In that view, China does not require aircraft carriers to capture sea and air superiority in a war over Taiwan, and China’s most powerful carrier proponent (Liu) can no longer infl uence relevant decision making. Other scholars suggest that China may well acquire small-deck aviation platforms, such as helicopter carriers, to fulfi ll secondary security missions. These missions include naval di- plomacy, humanitarian assistance, disaster relief, and antisubmarine warfare.2 The present authors conclude, however, that China’s aircraft carrier ambitions may be larger than the current literature has predicted. Moreover, the major implications of China’s acquiring aircraft carriers may need to be explored more carefully in order to inform appropriate reactions on the part of the United States and other Asia-Pacifi c naval powers. This article updates major changes in the four major conditions that are necessary and would be largely suffi cient for China to acquire aircraft carriers: leadership endorsement, fi nancial affordability, a relatively concise naval strat- egy that defi nes the missions of carrier operations, and availability of requisite 14 NAVAL WAR COLLEGE REVIEW technologies.

  • BUDGET ADDRESS 2006 Delivered in the House of Assembly on Monday 23Rd January, 2006 by Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Dr
    BUDGET ADDRESS 2006 Delivered in the House of Assembly on Monday 23rd January, 2006 By Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Dr. The Honourable Ralph Gonsalves INTRODUCTION Mr. Speaker, Honourable Members On December 7, 2005, the people of St. Vincent and the Grenadines overwhelming re-elected the Unity Labour Party (ULP) to govern our magnificent country for another five-year term. The ULP secured a whopping 56 per cent of the valid votes cast and won 12 of the 15 seats. This landslide electoral victory was a massive endorsement of the ULP administration’s policies, programmes and performance. It is, too, a mandate for the ULP to consolidate, to refine, to deepen, and to extend its excellent work, policy framework and programmatic platform, as articulated in its Manifesto 2005, Better By Far! and the ULP Youth Manifesto 2005. A copy of each of these Manifestos was tendered as documents of this Honourable House during the recent debate on the 2006 Estimates. Mr. Speaker, it is unfortunate that the overall losers in the recently-concluded general elections unfairly maligned the sound reputation of our country and the good name of honest public officials and political leaders by falsely alleging that they — the overall losers — were in possession of “overwhelming evidence” of electoral fraud and electoral irregularities on a scale so large as to vitiate the verdict of the electorate. They falsely alleged that there was somehow a conspiracy of monumental proportions, involving election officials and the top brass of the Unity Labour Party, to steal the elections. They further alleged, falsely too, that the elections were in fact stolen and that they had the so-called “overwhelming evidence” to prove it all in the High Court by way of election petitions.

  • ICAO Safety Report |2020
    SAFETY Safety Report 2020 Edition Foreword A Coordinated, Risk-based Approach to Improving Global Aviation Safety The air transport industry plays a major role in global economic activity and development. One of the key elements to maintaining the vitality of civil aviation is to ensure safe, secure, efficient and environmentally sustainable operations at the global, regional and national levels. A specialized agency of the United Nations, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) was established in 1944 to promote the safe and orderly development of international civil aviation throughout the world. ICAO promulgates Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs) to facilitate harmonized regulations in aviation safety, security, efficiency and environmental protection on a global basis. Today, ICAO manages over 12 000 SARPs across the 19 Annexes and five Procedures for Air Navigation Services (PANS) to the Convention on International Civil Aviation (Chicago Convention), many of which are constantly evolving in tandem with latest developments and innovations. ICAO serves as the primary forum for co-operation in all fields of civil aviation among its 193 Member States. Improving the safety of the global air transport system is ICAO’s guiding and most fundamental strategic objective. The Organization works constantly to address and enhance global aviation safety through the following coordinated activities: • Policy and Standardization; • Monitoring of key safety trends and indicators; • Safety Analysis; and • Implementing programmes to address safety issues. The ICAO Global Aviation Safety Plan (GASP) presents the strategy in support of the prioritization and continuous improvement of aviation safety. The GASP sets the goals and targets and outlines key safety enhancement initiatives (SEIs) aimed at improving safety at the international, regional and national levels.

  • 2011 Budget Address by Dr
    2011 BUDGET ADDRESS BY DR. The HONOURABLE RALPH E. GONSALVES PRIME MINISTER/MINISTER OF FINANCE AND ECONOMIC PLANNING Delivered Monday 24th January, 2011. FISCAL AND FINANCIAL STABILISATION, JOB CREATION, WEALTH CREATION, AND SOCIAL SAFETY AT THE TAIL-END OF THE RECESSION INTRODUCTION Mr. Speaker, Honourable Members, this is my tenth Budget Speech as Minister of Finance. It is being delivered in the immediate aftermath of the Unity Labour Party’s third successive electoral victory, a triumph secured in the most challenging economic circumstances, inclusive of the severe socio-economic dislocations caused by the passage of Hurricane Tomas on October 30, 2010. The 2011 Budget has been crafted in an external economic environment shaped by the global financial and economic meltdown of September 2008, and continuing. Currently, a marked unevenness in performance characterises the world economy. Countries in the European Union such as Portugal, Ireland, Greece, and Spain, the so-called PIGS, are experiencing severe fiscal and financial challenges, growing unemployment and lacklustre economic growth. In the United Kingdom, savage budgetary cuts have increased joblessness in a context where private-sector led demand has yet to take up the slack in government spending. In the USA, there is a faltering, uneven recovery, and there are signs that the American economy may be at the tail-end of its recession and the attendant adverse consequences. Japan is yet to emerge from its structural condition of low or no economic growth. Strong economic performance is evident among the BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India and China). So, too, in some other emerging economies and in developing economies in parts of Africa and Latin America.
