Canada has a parliamentary democracy and constitutional monarchy system of government with the economy being the eleventh largest in the world, and hockey being the most popular sport in the nation known for its variety of regional cuisines rooted from First Nations, English, Scottish and French influences.
Coal’s Global Power Generation Dominance & The Growing Importance Of Natu...Vincent J. Lentini
This 40-page research paper provides an overview of global coal and natural gas dynamics, major projects and producers. It discusses topics like the environmental impacts of coal, EPA regulations, growing natural gas consumption, major LNG supply agreements, and the operations of coal companies Peabody Energy, Arch Coal and Alpha Natural Resources. The conclusion reflects on challenges like carbon emissions and forecasts that coal will still dominate global power generation for decades, while natural gas and Australia's LNG exports play larger roles.
The document discusses several topics related to the global oil market including OPEC's decision to maintain oil production levels which has lowered prices, the impacts on high cost producers, and OPEC's expectations for rising prices by 2020. It also discusses the conflicts and crises in Syria, Iraq, Nigeria, and Libya and their effects. Several sections cover the rise of US shale oil production, the companies involved, and how low prices have impacted them. Global oil demand trends and their implications are also summarized.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.
A toxic combination of 15 years of low growth, and four decades of high inequality, has left Britain poorer and falling behind its peers. Productivity growth is weak and public investment is low, while wages today are no higher than they were before the financial crisis. Britain needs a new economic strategy to lift itself out of stagnation.
Scotland is in many ways a microcosm of this challenge. It has become a hub for creative industries, is home to several world-class universities and a thriving community of businesses – strengths that need to be harness and leveraged. But it also has high levels of deprivation, with homelessness reaching a record high and nearly half a million people living in very deep poverty last year. Scotland won’t be truly thriving unless it finds ways to ensure that all its inhabitants benefit from growth and investment. This is the central challenge facing policy makers both in Holyrood and Westminster.
What should a new national economic strategy for Scotland include? What would the pursuit of stronger economic growth mean for local, national and UK-wide policy makers? How will economic change affect the jobs we do, the places we live and the businesses we work for? And what are the prospects for cities like Glasgow, and nations like Scotland, in rising to these challenges?
