Abstract
While each of the "little dragons" are highly interesting in their own right, this paper will look at the economic position of Taiwan. With its high degree of economic independence and close political links to China, many question whether Taiwan is a province of China or a nation of its own. It is a good, difficult, and controversial question. Through an economic analysis of Taiwan as a nation, this paper will endeavor to provide some insight.

As appropriate, comparisons are drawn between the experience of South Korea and those of other industrializing countries, including Taiwan and..."

Abstract
The paper explains the relevant administrative law principles regarding the "Native Women's Association of Canada v. Canada" court case and asserts that in this situation, the Native Women's Association of Canada (NWAC) was given an opportunity to be heard vis-a-vis the issues in dispute, proper procedural guidelines were followed and the Charter prerogatives of aboriginal women represented by the organization were not offended. The paper shows how there is no evidence that the government officials acted in a fashion that could be construed as biased. The paper concludes, therefore, that the government acted in full accord with the principles of administrative justice and the Court ruling substantiates this unequivocally.
From the Paper
"During the constitutional reform discussions that led up to the Charlottetown Accord, various government-funded aboriginal organizations were invited to participate in the debate. Unfortunately, the Native Women's Association of Canada (NWAC) was not invited to participate in this debate. In the view of the aforementioned group, its exclusion from direct funding and from direct participation in the constitutional discussions of the day was a threat to the equality of aboriginal women. In particular, NWAC was troubled at the prospect that the proposals being bandied about with regards to constitutional amendments might very well result in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms not applying to aboriginal self-government. Suffice it to say, NWAC went to court to prevent any further provisioning of monies to other aboriginal organizations until such time as NWAC was provided with equal funding as well."

From the Paper
"Tourism is an industry that many countries seek to encourage because of the large amount of foreign exchange it develops without requiring large amounts of natural resources or direct government expenditures. In developing countries, tourism can serve to introduce foreign visitors to the country and may result in increased business activity down the line. In addition to foreign tourism, various locations within countries seek to promote their own areas as sites for domestic travel, again to attract the traveler's money. Tourism encourages a wide variety of businesses, such as hotels, tour operators and restaurants, and helps supports ancillary businesses, such as retail sales and local industry. This research examines the various social, cultural and environmental factors that influence tourism in ... "

Climate Change and Atlantic Canada, 2008.
This paper examines the effects of climate change on Canada and Atlantic Canada, specifically.

Abstract
This paper examines the most important and likely ways that Atlantic Canada will be affected by climate change. The paper demonstrates that climate change has the potential to have a devastating effect on the forests, farms and economy of Atlantic Canada.
From the Paper
"Another way in which climate change could negatively impact Atlantic Canada's forests is by causing mid-winter thaws to become longer, and to occur more often. These thaws cause air bubbles to form in stems, and if these remain they will prevent water from flowing into the leaves when spring comes. Also, if there are extended thaws, when the soil freezes again it can damage roots. This means that when the spring comes, the roots are damaged. However, it is the roots that usually produce the pressure to expel the air bubbles."

Is There a Taiwan Model?
From the Paper
"The fact that social attitudes may have a bearing on events in the workplace has been recognized by observers of HRM dynamics. Newland identifies a number of "current personnel issues" that are likely to have importance for the balance of the twentieth century: "cost limitations, alternative service delivery, labor relations, productivity and performance, and legalism and staffing" (Newland, 1984, p. 22). Focusing on public-sector employees, he suggests a program of "sustained action" to meet the responsibility of these issues, which in general speak to the morale of staff and indirectly imply that productivity may become an issue. But what is important to keep in mind is the cost orientation of the analysis, which tends to highlight the conception of labor as a commodity to be bought and sold like other commodities."

Abstract
This paper discusses the rules governing foreign ownership in Canada, foreign takeovers and corporate and government positions, according to the opinion of Dominic D'Alessandro of "Manulife Financial." The paper then discusses Canada and the World Trade Organisation, as well as Canadian interests in relation to trade agreements. Finally, the paper focuses on public interest group activity and the issue of foreign ownership in areas of the Canadian economy considered 'sensitive.'
Table of Contents:
The Rules Governing Foreign Ownership in Canada
Canada and the World Trade Organisation
Public Interest Group Activity
From the Paper
"This overall pattern seems to be very promising for those caring about the likelihood of lost Canadian economic sovereignty and the aim of better regulating foreign investment that was ventured by D'Alessandro. In the Council of Canadians, very often associated with the Canadian "left" but actually featuring diverse participants, one finds a way of inducing the public to imagine a future Canada that may appear unless effort is made to question and limit the rate of foreign investment and takeovers in particular sectors of the economy. Given that neo-liberal economic shifts were thrust upon the Canadian public, including the radical departure of the NAFTA, it seems all the more important that public interest groups compel Canadians to consider their future, demand restrictions they may decide should be in place and rather than waiting or hoping for an effective political party to list these concerns."

Abstract
This paper provides a demographic overview of both America and Taiwan and shows how there are a great many similarities in the economic power of Taiwan and the United States. It shows how both nations have high GDPs and how both nations have relatively low unemployment rates. It compares the status of information technology management between the two countries and shows how although 80% of the internet is in English, Taiwan has the stronger internet penetration. It also shows how Taiwan is managing to keep up with businesses in America by realizing that the English language has become essential for global business and technology. It looks at how because of the large number of chip manufacturers, computer manufacturers, and other electronic manufacturing that is done in Taiwan, the country's computer engineers boast the highest percentage of English speakers in a particular profession.
From the Paper
The report also gave three survival tactics for Chinese families that own businesses. The first is to ?decentralize the decision-making process. That is to move away from a command and control system to a people-centered management strategy? while the second is to invest more in ?human resources and provide opportunities for their staff who are not family members to be able rise to the top of the management tree? while the third strategy is to ?embrace e-commerce to enable firms to reach global suppliers and customers at low cost? (Phuangkanok, 2000, 13). Those strategy suggestions make the case that management in Taiwan faces many of the same problems that management in America faces."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"While many detractors of NAFTA predicted that trade deficits would be the only result of this agreement, they also failed to observe that overall exports to these two other markets, the U.S. and Mexico, would increase greatly as well. Because the U.S. is such a large market it was expected to maintain an overall trade deficit but that NAFTA allowed Canada to increase its trade exports across such a wide swath of industries has been a boon to its economy. Dong states that most consumer products increased in amount vis-a-vis trade among the member states of NAFTA (26). Such an overall increase in consumer-oriented products would have been largely impossible without NAFTA guaranteeing market access to these two neighbouring countries. However, NAFTA's benefits seem to have benefited Canada more than the U.S. where its exports only increased meaningfully in a few product categories such as dog food whereas with Canada such increases were almost inclusive of every product category (Dong 26). Canada's increases in foreign trade and in trade relationships with the U.S. through the NAFTA apparatus elevated its status internationally."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"China-the most populous country in the world-has exhibited remarkably high levels of sustained economic growth in the two decades since it reformed its economy following the death of Mao Zedong in 1976. According to some analysts, the country is poised to become the number one economy in the world sometime in the mid-twenty first century. There are, however, certain political issues that may affect China's rightful role in the future world affairs. One of them is the 'Taiwan affair'-a problem that has defied a satisfactory resolution ever since the Communist forces defeated the Kuomintang (KMT) in the Chinese Civil War in 1949 and Chiang Kai-Shek retreated to Taiwan along with 2 million of his supporters from the Mainland China. The political status of Taiwan (or the state of Republic of China) has, since that time, been a source of concern for China as well as the rest of the world."

Abstract
This is a research proposal that was done to look at the effects of poverty on immigration in Canada. In Canada, immigrants are more likely to live under the poverty line than native Canadian-born citizens. The proposal attempts to answer the question: Why are Canada?s immigrants more likely to end up in poverty than native-born Canadians. It is a qualitative proposal, which includes a literature review. The author discusses census data and utilizes interview questions and answers. The proposal was written in first person narrative, and is 13 pages long, including bibliography as well as a potential newspaper ad for gathering applicants to the study.
From the Paper
"This study will hopefully show why it is that immigrants to Canada , at least those who arrived since 1981, are more likely to live in poverty than native-born Canadians. It will attempt to find possible solutions to prevent this from happening to future immigrant populations, whether the problem lies in the hands of the immigration system, or if it has to do with something else. Optimistically, my study will also serve to educate the public and policy makers to adopt different views on immigration and immigrants than the ones currently harbored by many. In my opinion, education of the public and lawmakers will prove crucial after the findings to start finding ways to make some changes to get these people out of poverty, which would benefit everyone."

Canada's 21st Century Challenges, 2008.
An argument that the challenges facing Canada in the twenty-first century are due to Canada's ties with the United States.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses how Canada currently enjoys many advantages over other nations, but faces challenges that are bound inextricably with Canada continuing to strengthen its ties to the United States. The paper explains that with Canada's economy and security being more tightly bound to the United States, there is a risk of taking on more of the American problems as well. The paper asserts that Canada would be better off if it looked to other countries for new trade and investment. The paper is of the opinion that with more economic independence, political independence will follow and Canada's international image will be less coloured by the United States' foreign policy and the acrimony it generates.
From the Paper
"The Canadian Prime Minister, Wilfred Laurier, said that the twenty-first century would be Canada's century. In many ways, the new millennium looks bright for our country. Canada currently enjoys many advantages over other nations, including a relatively peaceful social climate, an educated workforce, resource riches, technological might, and international good will. However, regarding this final point, there are difficult challenges that lay ahead. These challenges are bound inextricably with Canada continuing to strengthen its ties to the United States."

Abstract
In this paper the author looks at how China is forcing Taiwan to change its business strategy from manufacturing to more high-level industries such as consulting and financial services.The paper suggests that China wants Taiwan to act as a liaison, using their similar language culture and business practices.The author concludes with an outlook for the future for Taiwan's ever changing and strained economy in respect to China. Introduction
Economic and Political Overview of Taiwan
Cross-Straight Relations
Taiwan's Evolving Success Story
The "Hollowing Out" Effect of Taiwan's Economy
Taiwan's Next Steps
From the Paper
"This heavy reliance on trade has driven Taiwan's rapid growth in recent decades. However, as a small island population with limited natural resources, authorities are very conscious of Taiwan's vulnerability in a turbulent world. The impact of the crisis in Asia on Taiwan's heavily export-oriented economy, while mild in comparison with most of the region, has borne this out. This experience has reinforced Taiwan's major policy directions, which aim to strengthen the domestic economy through infrastructure development, upgrading of industry and the expansion of value-added service industries."
