"In 1995 the Madrid European Council asked for an examination of the likely effects of enlargement on the European Union. The report was to contain information pertaining to the consequences of enlargement in regard to agricultural and structural policies as well as a long-term budgetary outlook. Financial information was important because it was thought that enlargement would entail an extensive overhaul of EU economic policy in order to incorporate new member states."

Abstract
This essay identifies and explores some of the major challenges to European economic integration in the post-cold war era. It also traces the development of the European Union from the years following World War Two to the groundbreaking Maastricht Treaty.
From the Paper
"At the close of the Second World War, Heads of State from around the globe came together with the goal of ensuring that the devastation seen in that violent conflict would never again be repeated. One of their primary goals was to reinforce the European economy so that the continent could rise from the ashes of their broken cities and achieve the eminent philosopher Immanuel Kant?s dream of perpetual peace. The U.S. Secretary of State, George C. Marshall, devised a plan that would give Europe the aid it so desperately needed but only if the individual countries pulled together and launched a joint effort to revitalize their continent. This measure would ensure the impecunious economic conditions that indirectly brought Hitler, Mussolini and Franco into power would be avoided. As the years progressed and the wounds of war slowly healed, Western European economies began to integrate their coal and steel markets."

"ASIAN ECONOMIC INTEGRATION
There are many conceptual definitions of "economic integration" and the one chosen for this paper is that economic integration occurs when nationalistic concerns of an economy are set aside to integrate the economy more fully into the world economy.
Such a definition implies and confirms that the world has become so global that individual nations can no longer be allowed to maintain independent economic activities without consideration of the impact of those activities on other nations. This attitude was well expressed by Thai Deputy Foreign Minister Sukhumbhand Paribatra at a recent meeting of the annual East Asia Economic Summit: "East Asia and Southeast Asia must reject the temptation to seek individual salvation, because none of us can ..."

Abstract
This paper examines prejudice attitudes towards Japaneses Canadians and Americans. It claims that they often report experiencing estrangement and 'identity denial' by their fellow citizens. The paper draws upon history and literature to illustrate this phenomenon. It discusses the Japanese internment in the US during WWII, Sapna Cheryan and Benoit Monin's article "Where are You Really From? - Asian Americans and Identity Denial", and Joy Kogawa's novel "Obasan".
From the Paper
"Prejudice may still exist in Canada concerning people of Japanese descent, along with occasional prejudice faced by all newer communities, as may be part of the human process of resettlement, as in Irish immigrants or yore to face considerable ostracism as did members of some Eastern European communities. Early arrivals from China certainly faced ostracism and in central Canada report that they no longer feel a 'visible' minority, the community having developed over time its place in the mainstream, distinction remaining between persons of Chinese origin long established in Canada or those seen as recent arrivals. The point made is that some differentiation or exclusion may be part of the way of the world, more than overt racism, significant only if it produces direct abuse as opposed to exclusion. Then again Kogawa refers to a British Columbia where anti-Japanese and just anti-East Asian racism does seem to have been in place. World War II and the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour had pitched feeling against a visible and concentrated community that was not well known to others and suspected of pro-Japanese sympathies. The day was one of racialist thought too, distinct from racism, and lingering belief in a 'yellow peril' resulting from unregulated Asian immigration. Films, hearsay and ordinary ignorance encouraged a generalizing of Asian peoples as though all engaged in secret society activities, in a Fu Manchu motif carried from people of one origin to another."

Abstract
This paper discusses the spread of the global economy and the greater dependence that the Canadian economy now has on the United States economy. It discusses the foreign investment markets for Canada and looks at the view of the United States with regards to it current account deficit. Finally the paper lists some of the actions that the United States can take for which Canada must be prepared.
From the Paper
"While many analysts predict a fairly painless global adjustment once the US current account seeks a more equitable balance, the increasing uncertainty in the market seems to betray a growing fear of a sudden and profound systemic shock. Researchers point out that the US is currently the greatest investment vehicle for most of the world's leading economies with its current account deficit standing at -22% of GDP (The 1). Yet, framing the current account in this manner does not accurately represent the true disparity in the US economy as opposed to those of its foreign counterparts such as Canada. The US basically considers deficits normal between most of its trading partners and this is definitely the case with Canada. However, this gap is even more severe when examined in relation to specific countries such as China that have created an export economy through the financing US spending: "The United States runs a current account deficit of more than $600 billion per year...foreign central banks...have made substantial purchases of U.S. government bonds to add to their foreign exchange reserves" (Clarida par.3)."

Abstract
This paper explores the reality beneath the smug historical illusion of an enlightened nineteenth century Canada with respect to the relationship between Canadians and fugitive American slaves. It shows that while in some cases these fugitives were welcomed in an atmosphere of freedom and tolerance, it also be demonstrates that they faced considerable racial discrimination and prejudice.
From the Paper
"The fact that the ancient Greek historian Herodotus is known as both the "Father of History" and the "Father of Lies" is indicative of the multifaceted nature of history; that it is frequently composed of equal parts of factual detail and uncertain myth. The history of the Black population in Canada and, in particular, the Black fugitive slaves who escaped slavery and came to Upper Canada along the "Underground Railroad" represents a classic example of this complex nature of history."

This paper will discuss the way that American and Canadian economic styles play into the development of their countries, and the countries they are associated with.

A discussion regarding how Canadian culture is being Americanized.

»

Abstract
The following assignment discusses the Americanization of Canada through the media. The paper argues that because American media products dominate in Canada, that Canadian culture is being Americanized. The argument looks at culture, symbolize, signs and the role of media.
From the Paper
"There has been a great deal of debate on the effects of the media upon culture. Many researchers argue that the media is contributing to a process of cultural homogenization. For example, in "Ecumenical America" Orlando Patterson argues, The modern process of global cultural interaction has repeatedly been subjected to two criticisms. The first is that it threatens the diversity and particularism of the world's cultures, resulting in a deadening homogenization of the human cultural experience. The other is that this growing global uniformity results from the dominance of America's culture --that, in effect, global culture is nothing more than American cultural imperialism (Patterson 103)."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses the learning of English as a second language in Iranian integration into Canadian society. The writer looks at how Susan, the main character in 'Newcomer' by Mehi Yaifani, relates a reflection of the advanced state of education, power (economic), and differential teaching, which is invaluable to foreign citizens wishing to integrate into modern Canada. The writer points out that by realizing the power of English as a second language in Yaifani's tale, one can observe the efficiency that allows Susan to feel less alienated by her teacher's application of these educational principles in Canadian official language policy.
From the Paper
"This ESL study examines the story "Newcomer" by Mehi Yaifani, and seeks to understand how education, difference, and power interrelate within the cultural aspect of Susan's narrative in this text. By understanding the aspects of education and cultural difference in Canadian culture, Yaifani reflects her main character, Susan, as a participant in the Canadian English speaking ESL educational community. By realizing the success of multi-cultural second language programs in Canada, Susan is one of many that are supported in Canada's diverse educational system. In Yaifani's story, a young woman named Susan is having trouble understanding her teacher while taking an ESL (English as a Second Language) class."

Canadian Economic Development, 2002.
A look at the importance and history of foreign capital in Canadian economic development.

Abstract
This paper will discuss the U.S.'s replacement of Great Britain as Canada's closest economic and political ally. The starting point for this is the repealing of the Corn Laws in the middle of the 19th century and the Reciprocity Treaty of 1854. This marked the beginning of the American era which waxed and waned through Canadian history from that point forward. This marks an important case for study because it underlines the great need Canada has had for foreign capital throughout its development. With a small population, enormous resource base, and strong desire to maintain high standards of living, extensive foreign investment has been absolutely critical.
