Abstract
This essay examines whether the US open door policy toward China was consistent and dependable in dealing with the factions during the Chinese civil war in China during 1940-49. The paper analyzes the background and origins of the "open door" policy which date back to the mid 19th century. The paper examines the "open door" policy in light of American isolationism and as the US became a world power following World War II. This policy of limited involvement with China directed US policy until the Chinese Civil War.
From the Paper
" An important, though undeclared, corollary to the policy, however, was that the United States was not willing to risk war to enforce its open door policy and its main foreign policy interest lay in Europe rather than Asia. This resulted in a number of serious setbacks for the policy, particularly during the Sino-Japanese war as well as the Chinese Civil War in which the Nationalists and the Communists were engaged in a bitter civil war for power in the country. Since the US was unwilling to use force, the most it could do was to use diplomacy to enforce the "open door." Such a lukewarm approach in support of a policy could, at best, be only partially successful and when the 'open door' was pointedly ignored by the Japanese during its seizure of Manchuria in 1931 and the subsequent full-fledged Sino-Japanese war in 1937, the US could do little to prevent its violation."

"Sabriya" and "The Open Door", 2005.

Abstract
This paper examines how authors al-Zayyat and Idilbi represent the war for independence through their protagonists in their novels, "Sabriya" and "The Open Door," respectively. It looks at how they present the role of women in Middle Eastern society as a contrast to Sabriya and Layla's passion to fight for their country's justice and how these characters are used to represent the universal struggle of women in finding their social identity.
From the Paper
"The term "post-colonial identity" indicates that a new identity is born when an individual becomes detached from the nation that he or she was once ruled by. However, there are several limitations to this freedom, in both post-nationalization and during the struggle. A woman may be respected for her courage to fight for the independence of her colony, but would also be expected by the men to know her place in society and respect the limits that men set out for her. Once this intangible "freedom" is granted by a nation, what happens? Where does a woman go from here? She must still obey the rules of society, and must be reminded of that throughout her struggle."

Bulgarian Economy: Open Door to Communism, 2001.
A look at the negative effects of communism on the Bulgarian economy.

Abstract
A look at how Communism penetrated the Bulgarian economy through its poorly developed economy (agriculture-oriented) during the Ottoman presence. The author analyzes how this weakened the economy even more after the war period, between the first Balkan War and the Second World War.
From the Paper
"When asked about the present state of Bulgarian economy, Bulgarians talk about forty-five years of Communism as if they were forced upon the state from outside. Some people get so extreme that they equate them to the five centuries of Turkish yoke. The modest truth, however, is that outside influence came later. Before that, Bulgaria offered grounds for the development of the regime. Communism penetrated the country through its poorly developed economy (agriculture-oriented), which weakened even more after the war period between the first Balkan War and the Second World War."

Canadian Immigration Policy, 2008.
An analysis of the changes to the Canadian immigration policy since World War II and specifically during the 1960s.

Abstract
This paper looks at the evolution of the Canadian immigration policy since the Second World War. Specifically, it discusses the dramatic shift which took place in the 1960s as Canada began to move away from its old preferential immigration policy under the Pearson government. Further, the paper analyzes how political, economic and demographic factors created a remarkable amount of momentum for policies which opened the doors (and kept them open) for non-European arrivals from the latter 1960s onward.
From the Paper
"Lastly, Canada has moved substantially towards an immigration policy that permits family reunification for all immigrants - especially global south immigrants - with very few restrictions. In light of the fact that so many of today's immigrants are non-European (and, as noted previously, this has been the case since at least the middle-1970s), the end result is that this bit of Canadian policy-making has bolstered the already-high numbers of non-European groups within Canada. In the end, it would seem evident that successive Canadian governments - whether Conservative or Liberal - have embraced multicultural immigration because the swiftly-changing demographics of the land (and a new political landscape) leaves them no choice but to indulge non-Caucasian and non-European citizens."

Media, Policy and Cultural Identity in Canada, 2006.
A look at the measures undertaken by the Canadian government in order to maintain and promote a unique Canadian cultural identity.

Abstract
One of the most fascinating aspects of the Canadian cultural identity is the degree to which government policy and free enterprise economic principles converge and frequently collide in the field of the mass media. In large measure this is a consequence of Canada's geographic position next door to the world's last remaining superpower and predominant popular culture engine, the United States. This paper explores how the Canadian government, in order to maintain cultural distinctiveness in terms of national identity, has adopted a range of policies that promote the Canadian identity in the mass media and restrict the reach of foreign media and foreign media ownership.

Abstract
This paper examines how Deng Xiaping started China's economic reforms in 1978 with the announcement of the "Open Door Policy" and how, prior to the introduction of the new policy, China had followed the radical, centrally directed economic policies of Mao that emphasized self-reliance and closed its door to trade with foreign countries. It also looks at the roles of Deng Xiaping, Jiang Zeminand and Hu Jintao's three generations of Chinese leadership in China's political economy, the achievements has China made since then and the main problems with today's Chinese political economy.
Outline
Deng Xiaoping's Economic Reforms
Achievements by China Since the Initiation of Economic Reforms
Major Problems in Today's Chinese Political Economy
Why China is Not a Democracy Yet
Evaluation of the Roles of Deng, Jiang and Hu in China's Political Economy
From the Paper
"Despite considerable economic gains made by China in the post-1978 period, it is still faced with a number of serious politico-economic problems. Corruption and other economic crimes have proliferated in China as it has moved towards a market-oriented economy. Unemployment, though not too high in terms of percentages (3% according to official figures ), translates into more than 20 million unemployed workers due to the large Chinese population. ("Economic Overview" Country Watch) In addition to the unemployed, it is estimated that 50 to 100 million surplus rural workers are adrift between the villages and the cities, barely surviving through part-time, low-paying jobs. There is a growing trend of inter-regional and urban-rural inequality with the rural areas and areas away from the booming coastal regions, falling significantly behind. Despite efforts at reforming state owned organizations and the closure of a number of loss-making industries, over half of China's large state-owned enterprises are still making losses."

Chinese Economic and Foreign Policies, 2005.

Abstract
This paper explains that the success of the Chinese economic reforms is attributed to the liberty granted to the non-state sectors to progress in the environment of the market economy. The open door policy is an essential element in the process of economic reforms. It induces foreign investment and encourages the foreign trade. The writer points out that foreign investment has brought in new capital, new technology, managerial skill and training for labor to China. This has infused the contemporary managerial strategies, business techniques and a legal structure for favoring the business dealings. The paper further notes that it has generated competition in the domestic market and the competition has compelled the domestic enterprises to become more efficient. The foreign trade has been made easy due to the availability of the low cost and high quality labor in China to produce goods to be sold at higher prices in the world market thereby increasing the compensation to Chinese labor. The writer concludes that China has thus become an outstanding trading nation in the region, primary to the economic development along with promoting stability in the region.
From the Paper
"Chinese foreign policy of the mid-1980s results from the four correlated estimations. Firstly, the Chinese reform minded leaders opined that there is possibility for China to attain power and prosperity while safeguarding its national essence only through increased involvement in world activities. Secondly they emphasized that the international environment allows a focus upon domestic development while specifically because Soviet Union is concentrating on other emergent situations and in the process there is ample possibility that China can avail a stable environment in East Asia for the predictable future. Thirdly, they emphasized that China will find it advantageous to participate successfully in the international economic system and by soliciting growing foreign involvement in its own economic development. Finally, it is advocated that China can adopt persistent, independent, pragmatic and purposeful policies not only towards the three major powers of concern to them which are the Soviet Union, the United States and Japan but also towards other crucial areas like Korea, Indo-China and Taiwan. Hence the superseding goals of foreign policy of the reformers that arise from such considerations is to counterfeit a peaceful security environment in support of ambitious internal economic development. The reformers desire to promote economic relationships with all the prospective trading counterparts. They are much concerned in safeguarding the Chinese Sovereignty and autonomy while allowing the impediments of enhanced commercial and security links with the external world. (Okesenberg, 1986)"

"Analytical Comparison of China's Newest Economic Regions:
Special Economic Zones, Open Cities, and Open Coastal Areas
Introduction
In 1978, the People's Republic of China took the first steps on a long path that would switch the world's largest nation operating under a Communist system of government to the world's largest nation attempting to operate as a new economic concept -- a socialist marketing economy. Since then, China's economy has truly modernized and embraced many of the concepts of economic geography, including creating a societal infrastructure that accepts capitalism. The reform process has affected all sectors of the economy (Roberts & Clifford, 1997, 54).

Abstract
This paper reviews "Understanding China: A Guide to China's Economy, History and Political Structure" by John Bryan Starr. This paper discusses China's ancient culture and its emergence as one of the foremost powers in the modern world. This paper focuses on China's recent admission to the World Trade Organization and as well as its economy which is set to become the largest in the world within the next few years. The writer of this paper examines China's political history and contends that in spite of the country's numerous transformations, the structure of the government is today fundamentally identical with what it was under the later imperial dynasties. Today, there is no emperor at the top, but instead a small committee of the leading members of various political parties who hold much the same position. Although there had been significant changes in China's economy, few political changes transpired. The communists still hold a monopoly of power and although its economic policies scarcely seem to be communist anymore, it does not intend to relax its political grip.
From the Paper
"Starr contends that China remains one of the most self-contained and hence inscrutable countries in the world. It has an ancient culture of major historical importance, and has been emerging as one of the foremost powers of the modern world. It is the third largest country in the world and certainly the most populous, with about one-fifth of the world's total population. Modern communications make it as easy to reach Beijing from London or New York as it is to get to Singapore or Nairobi. Yet China remains little known and poorly understood; few foreigners learn its language or study its history and culture. Although foreign trade and tourism have increased dramatically in the last decade, they are only very slowly leading to any changes in foreign perceptions of China."

Abstract
This paper takes an in-depth look at China as a solution to manufacturing outsourcing. According to the paper, modern technological developments have opened the door to outsourcing of an unprecedented type and scale and is therefore a natural approach for many furniture manufacturers in the United States today. This paper examines the global furniture industry and how it stands to gain through the careful implementation and administration of outsourcing opportunities in general and those represented by the burgeoning manufacturing powerhouse of China.

From the Paper
"This is congruent with Keesing and Lall's (1992) assertion that third-world furniture manufacturers are frequently expected to meet requirements that often do not apply as yet to their domestic markets. Therefore, opportunities exist for small wood furniture producers to participate in the reorganization of supply chains to capture efficiency gains and to participate in more geographically diverse supply systems; however, failure to adopt e-commerce technologies could lead to small wood furniture producers increasingly becoming marginalized from international markets: "By not making the transition to e-commerce, small wood furniture producers run the risk of becoming less competitive, affecting both their present market positions and their long-term viability. As larger companies in the wood furniture value chain integrate e-commerce into their business, small firms without e-commerce capabilities run the risk of being 'frozen out' of the value chain" (Moodley, 2003, p. 318)."

Abstract
This paper focuses on the biotech industry which is currently controlled by several big global companies and the fact that this is about to change. Patents on nearly $40 billion in drugs manufactured by the large pharmaceutical companies are set to expire which should open the door for smaller companies to help medicate the world. The writer's vision is for smaller companies to secure a place in an international growth market, to receive approval by various government agencies, to prove the efficacy of innovations and more importantly to solve some of the world's ills which can be alleviated by biotechnological products. This paper includes a statistical graph detailing biotech industry threats and opportunities.

From the Paper
"As long as there is no human genome project underway, there is little government interference. However, the American companies claim that the FDA is much too slow, compared to overseas regulatory agencies, to approve new drugs. For this reason, many of the companies are either buying, being bought by, or creating partnerships with overseas companies in order to sell their drugs where restrictions are not as tight as in the U.S. One major problem that the industry faces is the high cost to the consumer. Congress has a number of bills about medical costs."

From the Paper
"On December 11, 2001, China officially became a member of the World Trade Organization (WTO), opening the country?s doors to change and a new economy. One year after China?s entry into the WTO, the country reported great success, showing better-than-expected economic growth and fulfillment of its WTO commitments, despite its shaky world economy. The excellent performance of the Chinese economy was clearly demonstrated by its eight percent growth rate in gross domestic product, as well as the significant growth in trade and inflow of foreign direct investment. As a result of its inception into the WTO, financial experts forecast that China will become the fifth trading country with an import-export volume worth US$600 billion and one of the most attractive areas for foreign direct investment, which exceeded US$50 billion in 2002 alone."

Abstract
The paper discusses America's trade imbalance with China that is fueled by China's failure to prevent copyright infringement and the sale of counterfeit goods as well as China's artificial currency devaluation. The paper also looks at the issue of Chinese spies stealing industrial secrets from American and European firms. The paper provides suggestions for improvement and argues that America needs to peacefully use their economic position to force China to compete fairly. The paper asserts that America should use legal, diplomatic and media pressure to force China to behave ethically.
From the Paper
"The United States and China have a long history of hostility and distrust. In recent years this hostility has centered on several economic issues. These include America's trade imbalance with China, a deficit fueled in part by a huge Chinese market in pirated American intellectual property and brand name knock-offs. Further, U.S. and European firms claim that Chinese industrial spies have stolen technology for products ranging from computer chips to cruise missiles."
