It defines culture, outlines the areas of national life considered in the policy and provides a selection of the action to be taken. The policy document emphasizes the importance of the development of a sense of self-worth and national pride, the role of folkways in defining a Montserratian identity and the role of training, research and documentation in cultural development and preservation. Particular emphasis is placed on culture as a means of broadening the frame of economic activity. The co modification of aspects of culture brooks of no debate; it is inevitable in these challenging economic times. The policy is presented against a backdrop of the Montserrat cultural landscape. Philosophical Statement Montserrat’s culture is rooted in its history with all its trials and triumphs. Culture is not only dynamic and subject to influences and changes over time, but it is also dialectical, meaning that while it springs from history and development, culture also impacts and informs development .

  • CHAPTER VI (Contd.) Section-II Review of Economic Activities and Financial Position of the State
    ( 283) CHAPTER VI (Contd.) Section-II Review of Economic Activities and Financial Position of the State The economy of the Princely State of Gooch Behar, some scholars held, was of a static semi-feudal nature, heavily dependent upon traditional agriculture in pre-British days. The minimum daily needs of the people could be met with the meagre resource available to them within the State.' But there was merely subsistence living and no economic prosperity and social mobility in the State. There was a lack of transport and communication and no foreign contact. Hence no trade and commerce could develop either within the State or with the outside world.' With the conclusion of a treaty between the Coach Behar State and the English East India Company in 1773 (which was in the latter's favour), this intercourse began to generate its impact on the traditional economic set up of this region and the consequent change followed the logic of history. The reign of Harendra Narayan (1783 -1839) had set the stage for change. The State of Coach Behar came into direct contact with the British administration. From then onwards the land tenure system and land revenue settlement began to be geared into motion and the traditional agrarian economy of the state started shaking off its age old slumber.3 Before the arrival of the English East India Company and at the initial period of their rule the economy of Bengal was mainly dependent on agriculture and artisan industry.' But British policy brought about a commercial revolution, estalished a new economy and bound India's economy to the heels of the British economy, the process of deindustrialisation commenced' and gradually India was converted into a centre for the supply of raw-materials for British industries and a market for the import of British manufactured articles.

Not only must the department take action to ensure that fish and marine mammal resources of the North are protected from the various forms of industrial encroachment and are not over-exploited, but it also has a responsibility for producing adequate marine navigation charts for northern waters as well as acquiring the necessary marine science expertise to advise industry and other government departments in many critical areas. The following pages provide a summary of DFO's activities north of 60° during the fiscal year 1979-80, and preview activities for 1980-81. This text will appear as part of the annual publication "Government Activities in the North", produced by the Advisory Committee on Northern Development.

  • Antigua and Barbuda an Annotated Critical Bibliography
    Antigua and Barbuda an annotated critical bibliography by Riva Berleant-Schiller and Susan Lowes, with Milton Benjamin Volume 182 of the World Bibliographical Series 1995 Clio Press ABC Clio, Ltd. (Oxford, England; Santa Barbara, California; Denver, Colorado) Abstract: Antigua and Barbuda, two islands of Leeward Island group in the eastern Caribbean, together make up a single independent state. The union is an uneasy one, for their relationship has always been ambiguous and their differences in history and economy greater than their similarities. Barbuda was forced unwillingly into the union and it is fair to say that Barbudan fears of subordination and exploitation under an Antiguan central government have been realized. Barbuda is a flat, dry limestone island. Its economy was never dominated by plantation agriculture. Instead, its inhabitants raised food and livestock for their own use and for provisioning the Antigua plantations of the island's lessees, the Codrington family. After the end of slavery, Barbudans resisted attempts to introduce commercial agriculture and stock-rearing on the island. They maintained a subsistence and small cash economy based on shifting cultivation, fishing, livestock, and charcoal-making, and carried it out under a commons system that gave equal rights to land to all Barbudans. Antigua, by contrast, was dominated by a sugar plantation economy that persisted after slave emancipation into the twentieth century. Its economy and goals are now shaped by the kind of high-impact tourism development that includes gambling casinos and luxury hotels. The Antiguan government values Barbuda primarily for its sparsely populated lands and comparatively empty beaches. This bibliography is the only comprehensive reference book available for locating information about Antigua and Barbuda.

Peter I Island lies in the southeastern Pacific Ocean at 68°50S. 90°40W. about 240 nautical miles off the Eights Coast of West Antarctica. Ris- ing from the continental rise, it is one of the few truly oceanic islands in the region. Few people have been on the island, and little is known of its geology. Thaddeus von Bellingshausen discovered and named the island in 1821, and it was not seen again until sighted by Pierre Charcot in 1910. A Nor- wegian ship dredged some rocks off the west coast in 1927, and persons from the Norvegia achieved the first landing in 1929.
