Canadians will be interested to learn that Venezuela is now producing over ten per cent of the world's oil, that she possesses 12 per cent of the world's oil reserves, and her production is only exceeded by that of the United States of America. Furthermore, it should be remembered that South Venezuelan plains were once the breeding grounds for twelve million head of cattle, and that the country is still an important grower of fine coffee and cocoa; that the iron ore fields in Cerro Bolivar are among the most important sources of iron ore in the world, with an approximate output of 13 million metric tons a year, so that if agriculture is the dusty base, and oil the jambs, iron ore will become the lintel of Venezuelan economy; that the gold backing of the currency in circulation is 146 per cent; that the total national debt is less than the equivalent of $5.3 millions; that the national income in 1953 was 9.158.000.000 bolivares; that Venezuela is Canada's first customer in South America. In this thesis the reader will get acquainted with i the history of Venezuela's trade with Canada, from the year j 19lS to 1953 inclusive, wherein one can appreciate the growing trade of the two nations which, after World War II ! UNIVERSITY OF OTTAWA SCHOOL O," GRADUA^TyfuDlis ~ "'' UNIVERSITE D'OTTAWA - ECOLE DES GRADUES INTRODUCTION vi has been very important both in amounts and values; but this in the case of Venezuela, as will be seen, is mainly due to the outstanding importance of her oil output which, in the exports to Canada, accounts for 10 per cent of Venezuela's world total exports. These figures show that Canada is an important market for Venezuela. Nevertheless, the prospects of Venezuela's oil exports to Canada in the future are uncertain, because Canada herself is becoming an outstanding oil pro­ ducer in the world market. However, the opinion of the writer is that Venezuela could keep this important market for about five more years, and this favourable advantage is due to the comparative cost of Venezuela's oil exports in Canada. A detailed study of the potentiality of this precious item will be presented in Chapter IV. In order to give a better illustration of the Venezuelan-Canadian trade relations, the writer has considered it necessary to write a special chapter on Venezuela, where her general situation and economic development is studied in detail. Following the main chapter, which is the history of trade between the two countries under study, we shall discuss in Chapter III some aspects of the trade between the two countries, and this will include Venezuela's customs UNIVERSITY OF OTTAWA ~ SCHOOL OF GRADUATE STUDIES UNIVERSITE D'OTTAWA - ECOLE DES GRADUES INTRODUCTION vii duties applied to Canadian goods because of the limited items that are exported by Venezuela to Canada. Then, the import and export licenses will be carefully considered, wherein will appear all the exportable items which require a license. This is an economic measure adopted by the Venezuelan Government for the expressed purpose of assisting local agriculture and industry of the country. Later on, transportation and investments will be discussed, in which will be included first the main outgoing and incoming cargo of the trade values, as well as of the calling ports of both countries; and secondly, investments will be discussed according to real Canadian investment in Venezuela; and to a lesser extent, the main economic reasons for the paucity of Canadian investments in Venezuelan territory. To conclude this research, it is of vital importance in my opinion, to discuss the potentiality of these two growing nations, whose future trade relations are mainly concerned with their two valuable export items -oil and iron ore-' and even though the reader will observe that at the moment iron ore is not an item involved in the trade re­ lations, it is nevertheless important to discuss it, as at the present Venezuela is leading in the exports of this mineral to the United States of America. But what will happen to Venezuela's iron ore when, in the forseeable UNIVERSITY OF OTTAWA - SCHOOL OF GRADUATE STUDIES UNIVERSITE D'OTTAWA « ECOLE DES GRADUES INTRODUCTION viii future, the St. Lawrence Sea-way project will be completed? Then Canada most probably will compete with this Venezuelan mineral in the economic factors of cost and transportation. However, the quality of this mineral is of great advantage to Venezuela because of its super quality and higher content of iron. Before going into the matter of this research, I would like to mention that, economically speaking, Venezuela cannot but be to some extent at the mercy of forces over which she has little control. The prices of her principal products -petroleum, coffee, iron ore and cocoa- are world prices, in the determining of which Venezuelan cost of production, level of supply, and internal demand have little influence. For it is notjwho determines the price of the goods she imports. For all her wealth, she is a comparatively small consumer in the framework of world demand. The result of the last census taken in November 1950 shows that Venezuela has achieved rapid growth and economic progress.

  • The Transformational Potential of Higher Education Inclusion
    n the fi eld of higher education research, one of the most fascinating observations is the consistent and permanent expansion of higher education systems worldwide since theI end of the Second World War. Undoubtedly, the predominant approach to address Jesús Humberto Pineda Olivieri these developments has been through quantitative analysis, as well as international comparisons. The following work examines the particularities of the Venezuelan context with the aim of identifying specifi c features of this worldwide phenomenon in this South The Transformational Potential American case. Through a combination of qualitative methods, the author proposes a of Higher Education Inclusion biographical approach for the study of higher education inclusion processes, which takes into account the perspectives and experiences of those who have been targeted by an ambitious higher education expansion process.

  • Adapting the Full-Range Leadership Model to the Study of Political Leaders Across Time and Regime Type: a Case Study of Venezuela
    Adapting the full-range leadership model to the study of political leaders across time and regime type: a case study of Venezuela Natasha Lindfield A thesis in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Business May 2018 THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Lindfield First name: Natasha Other name/s: Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: School of Business, UNSW ADFA Faculty: N/A Title: Adapting the full-range leadership model to the study of political leaders across time and regime type: a case study of Venezuela Abstract 350 words maximum: The political science discipline lacks a comprehensive model of leadership through which to conduct the systematic analysis of political leaders. This is surprising given the critical impact that political leaders have on all sectors of society. The management discipline, however, has multiple leadership models that could be adapted for the analysis of political leaders. This thesis addresses the absence of a systematic model of leadership in the study of political leaders by modifying the full- range leadership model utilised in management studies. When this model is applied in the realm of political science it facilitates analysis of both different styles of political leadership and the influence of political regime type in enabling or constraining leadership behaviour. This thesis also adopts a defining moments lens to provide focus for data collection. Such a lens has been utilised by other studies of leadership in the private sector. However, its application in political science is undeveloped.

  • A Guide to Teaching the Latin-American Novel to Adolescents
    Curriculum Units by Fellows of the Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute 1980 Volume I: Adolescence and Narrative: Strategies for Teaching Fiction A Guide to Teaching the Latin-American Novel to Adolescents Curriculum Unit 80.01.02 by Laura Ferrante-Fernandes I. Objectives Latin-American literature has been overlooked in the schools by English-speaking readers much too often, even though it has much to offer. In fact, there is an amazing lack of interest in anything that is Latin- American. It is ironic, but most Americans do not know that Puerto Ricans are American citizens. When they visit Puerto Rico, they believe that they are visiting a foreign country. The influx of Puerto Ricans and other Latin-Americans into the United States mainland has made us more aware of their language. For this reason, one finds that there are many more students enrolled in Spanish courses. Many students want to learn Spanish because they want to understand and communicate with their friends. The high school Spanish curriculum has been geared towards Spain and its literature. It is now time to include in our curriculum Latin-America and its literature. Not only should we include them because of the obvious reason that there are more Latin-Americans than there are Spaniards, but also because there is more innovation and style coming out of Latin-America presently. Latin-American literature encompasses all the literary works from Mexico, Central America, South America, and the Antilles. This unit will attempt to serve as a guide for teachers introducing students to Latin-American literary works.

  • Caitlyn Ebert River Valley High School Correctionville, IA, USA Venezuela, Conflict
    Caitlyn Ebert River Valley High School Correctionville, IA, USA Venezuela, Conflict The Conflict in Venezuela and How it Can be Solved Disease, revolts, and anguish have all been common themes in Venezuela for the past few years. Political instability has left Venezuela in shambles with millions of people fleeing the country in search of refuge. This conflict has led to a rampant decline of the quality of life for its citizens, including sanitation, dwindling food supplies, low minimum wage, and an increase in poverty. With this current political state, major reform is necessary in order to restore Venezuela to a peaceful state. To help overcome such crises, Venezuela should put in preventative measures to help deter the spread of disease ravaging the population, reform their current legislation regarding price-fixing, and establish one president. Only after these issues are fixed, Venezuela can start to recover. “Venezuela lies on the northeastern coast of South America. The country stays relatively warm, with temperatures varying between 79°F to 82°F throughout the year. With the Andes Mountains, Orinoco River, the Atlantic Ocean, and many other geographical beauties, Venezuela is a great tourist destination” (“Discover”). Venezuela is a decently sized country with “the current population being just over 28.4 million. The population of Venezuela is currently experiencing a decline” because of the millions who have fled due to the country’s current political instability (“Venezuela Population”). “The average household in Venezuela holds roughly 3-4 individuals. Housing in Venezuela varies greatly, depending on the region it is in” (Arcgis.com). In Caracas, the capital of Venezuela, most housing consists of a series of shacks built nearly on top of each other in order to fill the housing demand.

  • Memorial to Guillermo Zuloaga 1904-1984 GUILLERMO RODRIGUEZ ERASO Apartado 64.560, Caracas 1064, Venezuela
    Memorial to Guillermo Zuloaga 1904-1984 GUILLERMO RODRIGUEZ ERASO Apartado 64.560, Caracas 1064, Venezuela Guillermo Zuloaga, prominent geologist and petroleum executive, died in February 1984, at age 79, in Caracas, Venezuela. Zuloaga was born on July 7, 1904, in Caracas, into a well-known family established in the country since the middle of the 18th century, with roots that can be traced to the Basque region of northern Spain. In 1924, after gradu­ ating from high school in Caracas, he entered the Mas­ sachusetts Institute of Technology, ultimately earning a Ph.D. degree in geology in 1930. His doctoral thesis, “The Iron Deposits of the Sierra de Imataca, Venezuela,” was based on extensive field work conducted in the Precam- brian Venezuelan Guiana shield under the guidance of W. H. Newhouse. Upon his return to Venezuela in 1930, his early hard- rock professional interests were quickly directed to the local petroleum industry, which was fast gaining prominence worldwide owing to a succession of large discoveries made in the 1920s and by growing production rates, which had by 1930 reached a peak of 375,000 barrels per day, equivalent to 9.7% of the world’s production. Zuloaga’s first contacts with the petroleum industry occurred with his appointment as head of the government’s newly created Technical Office of Hydrocarbons, located in the city of Mara­ caibo at the hub of the booming oil activities centered in the emerging Bolivar Coastal Fields along the eastern shore of Lake Maracaibo. The main responsibility of the new office was the overall supervision of the oil operations of the various concessionaires, in order to verify com­ pliance with pertinent legal and technical regulations.
