Abstract
This paper discusses the likelihood of the provinces in Canada co-operating with each other to get more out of the Federal government. The paper looks at the physical and political geography of the country and then argues that co-operation between the provinces will be unlikely, based on the fact that Canada is highly regionalized.
From the Paper
"Regional Co-operation in Canada? Canada is a country in which regionalism is king. Each region is so different that regionalism has become the central characteristic of Canadian political geography. In The Challenge of Regionalism Greg Anderson describes the Canadian regions as, Atlantic Canada, including Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland, and Labrador; Quebec; Ontario; the Prairie West, including Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta; British Columbia; and the Far North. Such divisions are arbitrary and do not Reflect the many nuances of each of these regions(Anderson 2003: 26)."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The globalization of markets is the merging of distinctly separate national markets into a global marketplace and tastes and preferences converge onto a global norm (Martin, 2007). The increased globalization of markets occurred with the reduction in trade barriers and the removal of restrictions to foreign direct investment."
"Many economists believe that all countries benefit from engaging in free trade agreements. This belief shapes the economic policy of many nations and is the premise for trading blocs. Trading blocs are groups of countries that form institutions to help manage, regulate and police the global marketplace. Nowhere has the world seen a better example of economic integration than in Europe (Hill, 2004)."

Abstract
This paper discusses that relational approaches to thinking about regional disparities or imbalances include dependency theory, Neo-Marxism, the Hinterlanders' theory, and early Canadian economic history and political sociology, especially the theories of Fowke and Innis. All of these theories stress that regions are defined in relation to one another, discover that regions and regional imbalances are historically produced (they exist as a result of historical economic/social/political interactions) and that they consequently change over time.

Abstract
This paper analyzes the role of regional integration in promoting global business throughout North America. It explains that geographical proximity has been an important factor in the successful establishment of regional trading blocs such as NAFTA. The author claims that the members of the North American Free Trade Association have studied the European Union experience in order to evaluate the successes and failures of the EU in terms of regional integration and global business, and to craft their own approaches to promoting regional integration and global business in North America.
From the Paper
"In analyzing the role of regional integration in promoting global business throughout North America, it is evident that geographical proximity has been an important factor in the successful establishment of regional trading blocs such as NAFTA. As one might expect, the members of the North American Free Trade Association have studied the European Union experience in order to evaluate the successes and failures of the EU in terms of regional integration and global business, and to craft their own approaches to promoting regional integration and global business in North America. Implementation of the North American Free Trade Agreement began on January 1, 1994. NAFTA has or will remove most barriers to trade and investment among the United States, Canada, and Mexico by 2008."

Abstract
This paper examines how the future for regional jet service in the United States and abroad appears to be very bright and how regional passenger jets, defined as jet planes seating between 25 and 110 passengers, are becoming increasingly popular alternatives to the turbo-prop ?puddle-jumper? aircraft businesspeople have come to associate with commuter flights in smaller markets. It provides an overview and background of regional jets, the associated cost factors and controversies, an assessment of the potential impact of the identified alternatives, and the sell-offs of regional carriers by the major carrier owners.
From the Paper
"As a result of their increasing popularity, regional jets have also created their share of controversies, including claims these types of aircraft are clogging the nation?s already stressed airports and issues concerning equitable pay rates for regional jet pilots compared to their mainstream aviation counterparts. ?Some say regional jets are jamming the system, but that's not true,? says Faye Malarkey, a legislative director for the Regional Airline Association (RAA). Rather, Malarkey says that regional jets are ?part of the solution? (Arnoult, 2000, p. 67). Likewise, the President of the RAA, Deborah McElroy says, ?We think that they are making regional jets a scapegoat. That's not appropriate. regional jets are added because that's what the passengers want? (Arnoult, 2000, p. 67). "

Abstract
This essay briefly reviews the development and existence of an emerging culture of systemic disparity between China's regions and people. The essay discusses that despite successes in the spillover of economic growth into other regions; the collective emphasis on staged regional economic development united with China's ambition of becoming a global economic power has resulted in the rise of a culture of superiority in the coastal region.
From the Paper
"Regional Development and Inequity in Contemporary China STATEMENT OF ARGUMENT: Despite successes in the spillover of economic growth into other regions; the collective emphasis on staged regional economic development united with China's ambition of becoming a global economic power has resulted in the rise of a culture of superiority in the coastal region. ESSAY: Barry Naughton argues that despite the popular opinion that suggests that region disparities in China are increasing, the empirical facts indicate that overall, change in rank of GDP is too diverse to determine this one way or another. In contrast to this opinion, other scholars state that regional disparities are real and in fact planned."

Regional Economic Disparities In Canada, 2002.
Examines the regional disparities in Canada using data from 1966-1996 and argues that the disparity is growing.

Abstract
Over the past thirty years, rather than improving, it is clear to see that the regional disparities, economic and otherwise, have been getting worse. Looking to census data over the circa 1966-96 period, we can see that Eastern Canada, in particular, has fared very poorly. This paper will bring this evidence to light, and argue that, not only have regional inequalities been exacerbated in the past 30 years, but that they will continue to get worse as globalization intensifies.

Abstract
This paper considers regional integration in general and NAFTA in particular, including analysis of the various countries participating in NAFTA. It looks at the development of regional trading blocs and cites benefits of such blocs.
From the Paper
"By the close of the twentieth century a few large economies-including the United States-dominated the world market. These economies with their influence over financial and commodity markets can make it difficult for smaller countries to successfully build an economic system which can emerge from developing to developed status. As a result smaller and emerging economies have banded together to take advantage of geographic and economic benefit that would otherwise be unavailable. Even larger countries-such as the United States Canada and Mexico-have formed regional ..."

Tourism in Regional Australia, 2001.
The benefits of tourism development to regional Australia.
1,530 words (approx. 6.1 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 50.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper presents a general analysis of the impact tourism development has on regional areas, both positive and negative. It uses regional Australia as an example to analyze the situation in more detail. It explains positive ecnomic developments but occasional negative social effects.
From the Paper
"In recent decades, regional Australia has unquestionably been suffering from a downturn in both population and facilities (Hall, 1998, p 272). Whilst the reasons for this are many and varied, they are mostly outside the scope of this essay and thus will not be discussed here. However, it is the resultant state of this situation which highlights the benefits of tourism development to regional Australia. An increase in the urbanisation of Western society, Australia included, is responsible for the shrinkage of the agrarian society and consequent downturn in the fortunes of regional areas (Sharpley, 1999, p 285). Thus tourism development in regional Australia stimulates regional development as it promotes economic growth and employment generation. However, whilst this is the case, there are also factors that are preventing the occurrence of the tourism development of regional Australia. I will firstly discuss the benefits of regional tourism development in greater detail before proceeding with the discussion of the preventative factors."

Abstract
In this article the writer studies the theme of regional and ethnic identities that are found in Canadian short stories. The writer examines three different stories for this study. The first story discussed in this regard is 'Death by Landscape' by Margaret Atwood. The second story is 'The Loons' by Margaret Laurence and finally, the writer looks at the story 'The Boat' by Alister MacLeod.
From the Paper
"Identity is a common theme in many forms of literature. However in Canadian short stories the idea of the multiple identities is an important theme. In many cases characters show different regional and ethnic identities in the same story. The short stories that will be used to prove this point are "Death by Landscape" by Margaret Atwood, "The Loons" by Margaret Laurence and "The Boat" by Alistair MacLeod". Each of these stories takes place in a different region of Canada and each of these regions has a unique ethnic composition."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses that both of these stories written by feminists deal with women who are being oppressed and ultimately become independent, not only of the men in their lives, but also of the whole of society. The author points out that the vernacular used is very specific to the region. ?Their Eyes Were Watching God? takes place in the South. The paper relates that, while ?The Awakening? does not really focus on race, it does focus on gender and a woman?s role in society. In addition, ?Their Eyes Were Watching God? focuses on a woman?s role in a black society.
From the Paper
"It is interesting that though both Janie and Edna come to awakenings toward the end of their stories, they both think or seem to think that at first, their awakenings are based on the love of men in their lives, and how the men make them feel. Janie?s relationship with Tea Cake is a perfect example, ?Janie is deliberately forgetting some of the truth. She constructs the truth in a way that will maintain and justify her dreams. When Tea Cake hits her, it is the ultimate betrayal, because he has not lived up to her idyllic view of him. She continues to think of him as the perfect man because it is the version of the ?truth? that she likes the best. It is only after he has been killed that her voice finally becomes strong and assertive."
