Endowment Fund CIUS Newsletter 2013 Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies 4-30 Pembina Hall, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada T6G 2H8 Addressing the Problem, Searching for Solutions: Forum on Human Trafficking in Ukraine On 22 March 2013, a one-day forum on “Trafficking of Women in Ukraine: Governmental and Nongov- ernmental Responses” organized by the newly created Centre for Political and Regional Studies at CIUS was held at the University of Alberta. The forum sought to explain why the trafficking of women is such a persistent problem and to encourage greater efforts by the Canadian and Ukrainian governments, as well as appropriate nongovernmen- tal organizations, in combating it. This high-profile international forum featured parliamentarians, aca- demics, and members of various wom- en’s organizations from Canada, the United States, and Ukraine. Indicating that more than 110,000 Ukrainian citi- zens have been trafficked from Ukraine since 1991 (5,500 annually), Elizabeth Zolotukhina (Columbia University) argued that there is not only a failure Trafficking of women remains a major problem for contemporary Ukraine to apply vaguely formulated laws and who have been forced into it against organizations. a lack of clear assessment metrics but their will.

  • Allan A.Warrak
    1 ALLAN A. WARRAK Allan Alexander Warrack was born on May 24, 1937 in Calgary, Alberta and was raised in Langdon, southeast of the city. He attended Olds Agricultural College before going on to the University of Alberta where he received a B Sc degree in agricultural sciences in 1961. He then attended Iowa State University where he obtained MS and PhD degrees in 1963 and 1967, respectively. He began teaching at the University of Alberta and, in 1971, ran for provincial office in the riding of Three Hills. He defeated the Social Credit incumbent by eight votes and was part of the victory that brought the Progressive Conservative party to power ending 36 years of Social Credit rule. The new Premier, Peter Lougheed, appointed him to the Executive Council of Alberta and Minister of Lands and Forests. Warrack ran for a second term in office, in 1975, and readily defeated three other candidates, and was appointed Minister of Utilities and Telephones. Warrack retired from provincial politics at dissolution of the Legislative Assembly in 1979. He returned to the University of Alberta where he initially taught agricultural economics and later business economics in the Faculty of Business. He moved up the academic ranks and became a tenured professor as well as serving for five years as University of Alberta Vice-President Administration and Finance. Warrack also served as Associate Dean of the Master of Public Management Program. He is the recipient of a number of awards including the Province of Alberta Centennial Medal (2005) and the University of Alberta Alumni Honour Award (2009).

  • An Examination of the Causes of Education Policy Outputs in Ontario, Saskatchewan, and Alberta
    Why Do Parties Not Make a Difference? An Examination of the Causes of Education Policy Outputs in Ontario, Saskatchewan, and Alberta By Saman Chamanfar A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements of the degree of Ph.D. Political Science University of Toronto © Copyright by Saman Chamanfar 2017 Why Do Parties Not Make a Difference? An Examination of the Causes of Education Policy Outputs in Ontario, Saskatchewan, and Alberta Saman Chamanfar Doctor of Philosophy Political Science University of Toronto 2017 Abstract This study seeks to explain why partisanship—contrary to what we might expect based on the findings of other studies concerning social policies—is generally not a useful explanatory variable when examining the primary and secondary education policies of three Canadian provinces (Ontario, Saskatchewan, and Alberta) during two periods (the 1970s and 1990- 2008). Four specific areas of the education sector of the provinces will be examined: objectives of curricula; spending; ministry relations with school boards; and government policies concerning private and charter schools. Utilizing a qualitative approach and building on the findings of other studies on provincial education systems, it will be argued that in order to understand why the three provinces generally adopted similar policies in both periods, regardless of the differences in the ideologies of governing parties, we need to consider the causal effect of key ideas in both periods. In addition, it will be shown that opposition parties in most instances did not present policies that differed from those of governing parties or criticize the policies of such parties. This will further illustrate the limited usefulness of adopting a partisanship lens when seeking to understand the policy positions of various parties in the provinces concerning the education sector.

  • A Tribute to Linda Duncan, M.P
    1 December 8, 2019 A Tribute to Linda Duncan By Douglas Roche Edmonton-Strathcona is a rampart of democracy in Alberta whose safety the voters have wisely entrusted to Heather McPherson, who succeeds a parliamentarian who courageously held the banner high, Linda Duncan. We are here tonight to celebrate a changing of the guard — from Linda to Heather. This changing of the guard has an importance far greater than an election victory in one constituency. In many parts of the world, democracy is trampled on and authoritarianism denies people the right to freely choose their political leaders. It is certainly not safe in many countries to work and organize for social justice. So let us not forget the precious value of freedom we have in Canada where we go to the election polls in security and peace. We are celebrating the changing of the guard in Edmonton-Strathcona, a small area in the vastness of Canada. But in a larger sense we are celebrating the strengths of all Canada. We — here tonight — are Canada with all its history, diversity and unity. We are greater than the mere boundaries of a constituency, we rise above provincialism, we accept the challenges of the modern world. Edmonton-Strathcona knows it belongs not just to the Whyte Avenue surroundings but to the planet, and has responsibilities to humanity and the protection of the environment that sustains all life. Who knows this better than Linda Duncan. When Governor General Julie Payette said in the Throne speech a few days ago: “Canada’s children and grandchildren will judge this generation by its action – or inaction – on the defining challenge of the time: climate change,” those words could have been written by Linda.

At present, Ukraine produces phosphate fertilizers at only two enterprises: Public Joint-Stock Company (PJSC) «Sumykhimprom» and PJSC «Dniprovs- kiy Plant of Chemical Fertilizer» that has a total production capacity of 1434 thousand tons 100% P2O5 in the form of complex mineral fertilizers.

All provincial regions of Ukraine were chosen for this analysis. The aim of the study was to determine trends of regional indicators during the period 2012–2015. The social compo- nent of sustainability reflects the quality of life and it is focused on preserving the stability of the social and cultural systems, in particular on reducing the number of destructive conflicts between people. The basis of our study was the method of the Human Development Index rating in 2015, conducted by the State Statistics Service of Ukraine and the Institute of Demography and Social Studies named after M.V. Pukhta, but with a reduction of performance indicators to four groups (comfortable life, prosperity, decent work, education). The results of our grouping allow for developing a number of measures to respond to current trends and adjust them depending on the situation. Areas with consistently high rates of human development dimension should extend its positive experience to other regional areas of Ukraine.

The article covers the phenomenon of rock music in the lives of young residents of the western regions of Soviet Ukraine, which differed significantly from the rest of the territory of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic and the entire USSR. The article demonstrates the peculiarities among which this music was mastered, its existence in the youth society – from fashionable dance music to the core of nonconformitsm to the Soviet system. It was reflected in the names officially and unofficially used for rock music and its performers (Big beat, vocal-instrumental ensemble, etc.), as well as in relation to official factors (from tolerance to the prohibition). Consumers of rock music did not necessarily have to be opposed to the Soviet regime. However, the active “immersion” in rock music, and the related counterculture spheres (from the late 1960s onwards, and more and more), contributed to the formation of an alternative life style, which manifested itself in particular: listening to banned radio stations, the style of clothing that was associated with rock music, space for free performance / listening to rock music and exchanging information and impressions (“tusovka”).
