    CAIMUN 2021 DISARMAMENT AND INTERNATIONAL SECURITY COMMITTEE Background Guide A CANADA INTERNATIONAL MODEL UNITED NATIONS Tenth Annual Session | May 28-30, 2021 Dear Delegates, Othman Mekhlouf My name is Lincoln Lee, and I am excited to welcome you to the Disarmament and Secretary-General International Security Committee at CAIMUN 2021 alongside your chairs Nick Liu and Jan Peng. This year, we will discuss two widely relevant issues: Interventions in Foreign Warfare and Threats to Global Energy Security. As stakeholders in each topic, I encourage you to research the topic thoroughly and represent your countries Angel Yuan accurately so as to build a high quality of debate. Director-General Even after four years of Model UN, I still remember my frst conference where Nikki Wu every one of my speeches was accompanied by a trembling voice. I barely kept my Chief of Staff composure in front of what looked like a room full of prying eyes and struggled to stay relevant in the fast-paced debate. After several conferences, however, I found the true value of Model UN. Through this activity, I learned to overcome my fears, fnd a passion for politics, and most importantly, met new people who are now my Matthew Leung Director of Logistics mentors and best friends. To delegates feeling nervous about speaking out in front of a large crowd, I encourage you to make an active effort to come up to the podium as much as possible. MUN has been, without exaggeration, life-changing for me, and I Madeline Kim hope you’ll fnd the same benefts I have.

  • Part V the Organization, the Institution and the Future
    Part V The organization, the institution and the future Chapter 14 Leadership of the organization and management of the institution 503 Chapter 15 The future of the WTO 549 14 Leadership of the organization and management of the institution [Institutions] evolve incrementally, connecting the past with the present and the future; history in consequence is largely a story of institutional evolution in which the historical performance of economies can only be understood as a part of a sequential story. Institutions provide the incentive structure of an economy; as that structure evolves, it shapes the direction of economic change towards growth, stagnation, or decline. Douglass C. North “Institutions” (1991) Introduction In a happy coincidence of theory and practice, Douglass North wrote his seminal essay on “Institutions” at almost precisely the same time that the WTO was first proposed. “Institutions are the humanly devised constraints that structure political, economic and social interaction,” he wrote (1991: 97), and “consist of both informal constraints (sanctions, taboos, customs, traditions, and codes of conduct), and formal rules (constitutions, laws, property rights)” that CHAPTER 14 human beings have devised throughout history “to create order and reduce uncertainty in exchange.” That is as good a definition as any of the purposes of the WTO, which may be further distinguished according to its two halves. The WTO is at once an institution staffed by international civil servants and an organization to which members belong. While it is the organizational half of the WTO that is chiefly responsible for writing new rules, the institutional half not only facilitates those negotiations but also administers agreements, monitors the members’ compliance with the rules, and promotes the capacity of the developing members to participate more effectively in the organization and to take advantage of the opportunities that a more open market affords.

    NORTH KOREA AND THE LATIN AMERICAN REVOLUTION, 1959-1970 by MOE (WILLIAM DAVID) TAYLOR B.Sc., The University of Toronto, 2011 M.Sc., Columbia University, 2014 A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (History) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) February 2020 © Moe (William David) Taylor, 2020 ii The following individuals certify that they have read, and recommend to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies for acceptance, the dissertation entitled: North Korea and the Latin American Revolution, 1959-1970 Submitted by Moe (William David) Taylor in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History. Examining Committee: Steve H. Lee, History Supervisor Donald L. Baker, Asian Studies Supervisory Committee Member William French, History Supervisory Committee Member Max Cameron, Political Science University Examiner Glen Peterson, History University Examiner Andre Schmid, East Asian Studies, University of Toronto External Examiner iii Abstract In the 1960s the North Korean leadership embraced the variety of radical Third Worldism associated with Cuba’s Tricontinental Conference of 1966, which advocated a militant, united front strategy to defeat US imperialism via armed struggle across the Global South. This political realignment led to exceptionally intimate political, economic, and cultural cooperation with Cuba and a programme to support armed revolutionary movements throughout Latin America. In the process, North Korea acquired a new degree of prestige with the international left, influencing Cuban and Latin American left-wing discourse on matters of economic development, revolutionary organization and strategy, democracy and leadership.

These U.S. military bases have not only supported military operations, but were also the foundations for American hegemony. U.S. military bases were key tools of economic domination and globalization, since their purpose was to insure that American corporations enjoyed privileged access to the world’s markets, raw materials and cheap labor. This dissertation seeks to explain the origins of the United States’ base empire, with the main focus being on its overseas aerial infrastructure. By the 1920s, Washington policymakers navigated through the currents of anti-imperialism and pacifism to create an empire that consisted of military bases, but also commercial airfields that could be converted to military use.

  • The Lost Continent of Abraham Lincoln Patrick Kelly
    The Lost Continent of Abraham Lincoln Patrick Kelly The Journal of the Civil War Era, Volume 9, Number 2, June 2019, pp. 223-248 (Article) Published by The University of North Carolina Press DOI: https://doi.org/10.1353/cwe.2019.0027 For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/725678 Access provided at 5 Aug 2019 16:33 GMT from UTSA Libraries patrick kelly The Lost Continent of Abraham Lincoln During the U.S. Civil War, a brief period of ideological solidarity developed among the United States and the republics of Spanish America. The word “continent” was widely deployed in the geopolitical vernacular of both the United States and Spanish America to signify the revived fraternity among hemispheric republics. An important example is the first line of Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, “Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, upon this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that “all men are created equal.” This essay discusses the context in which Lincoln deployed the word “continent” in his immortal speech to acknowledge that the crisis of the 1860s reached beyond the boundaries of the United States to encompass its neigh- boring republics in the New World. On November 19, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln spoke at the dedication of the Gettysburg National Cemetery, the site of one of the most decisive battles of the U.S. Civil War, just four months earlier. The Union victory at Gettysburg in July and the Confederate surrender of Vicksburg, which fol- lowed almost simultaneously, were battlefield triumphs that seemed to tilt the strategic situation of the Civil War decisively in favor of the North.

But to make too fine a point of this is typically dismissed as unserious conspiracy theorizing, unworthy of mainstream consideration.
