Developing A Results-Oriented Training Program For Middle Managers In The Belize Public Service., Elizabeth Ilda M. Chavarria
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
All developing countries struggle to build administrative structures and institutions that have the capacity to facilitate national development. Countries in the Caribbean have learned from each other's experiences. These countries, including Belize, share a similar colonial history, similar social and economic development patterns and have adopted the same type of government and public administration. It was for this reason that this research examined the framework of management training in four Caribbean islands: Jamaica, Bahamas, Barbados and Trinidad and Tobago. As a concept, training is seen as an intervention strategy to facilitate the induction, acceptance and implementation of government policies. Specifically, …

From Tomorrow To Today: The Canadian Council Of Ministers Of The Environment And Canadian Environmental Policy., Dwight S. Hillyard
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment, the CCME, is an intergovernmental organization devoted to promoting the harmonization of federal-provincial environmental policies and regulations. The CCME is one of many institutional responses to the growing public concern over the environment. The importance of the CCME in the Canadian environmental policy community has risen and fallen in parallel with the importance of the environment as a public policy agenda issue. The CCME, after a decline in the 1970's, experienced a renaissance in importance after 1988. Since then, the Council has been involved in many environmental policy initiatives ranging from the …
Universality, Family Allowance And The Closing Federal Door., Thecla Debra. Moore
Universality, Family Allowance And The Closing Federal Door., Thecla Debra. Moore
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The historical development of federal activity in the income security system up to the early 1990s is examined in this thesis. The main argument of this thesis is that the federal government has slowly undermined the dominance of the welfare state by eroding the concept of social rights that is fundamental principle of the Canadian welfare state. The attack on the family allowance program by both the Trudeau government, from 1973 to 1978, and the Mulroney government, from 1984 to 1992, serves as the primary example of this circumstance. The influence of neo-conservatism is believed to have shaped the direction …

Women's Representation In Municipal Government., Susan Stella. Ross
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Three major questions are asked in this research regarding women's representation in municipal government in Ontario: Why are there fewer women than men involved in Canadian politics? What factors contribute to this? Do the motivations for running for political office differ between males and females? These questions were answered by first providing a literature review on the relevant literature on women in Canadian politics. A historical look was then taken at women's representation in municipal government in Ontario to decipher if this had an effect on why fewer women run for municipal office in Ontario.

Ndp-Labour Relations: Crises And Challenges In The 1990s., Victor John Paolone

The first chapter reviews CCF-NDP relations with labour from 1932 to 1988. This is followed by a literature review designed to provide the necessary background on NDP-labour relations. Chapter three looks at the nature of NDP-labour relations and their impact on the NDP's electoral fortunes in the …

Aboriginal Diversity And Politics In Canada., Katherine Marie. De Vere
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In assessing the progress toward a mutually acceptable agreement on aboriginal issues between native Canadians and Canadian governments, it is apparent that several obstacles have come to derail the process. This study attempts to identify one of those impediments: diversity within the native Canadian community. This study outlines two particular types of diversity within the native Canadian community: historically-based diversity and legally-based diversity. It also outlines the role that native Canadian organizations such as the Assembly of First Nations and the Native Council of Canada have played in articulating this diversity. The primary findings of this study are: (1) There …
An Assessment Of Bicycle Transportation Policy In Ontario., Patrick Joseph. Dunn
An Assessment Of Bicycle Transportation Policy In Ontario., Patrick Joseph. Dunn
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This thesis examined Ontario's bicycle transportation policy. An attempt was made to understand why bicycle transportation is receiving attention and what conditions--political and practical--are necessary to increase bicycle use in Ontario's urban centres. Using the Netherlands as a policy model, the political factors driving bicycle transportation were identified as well as the practical components to increase bicycle travel. In the broader policy environment, substantive policy measures are motivated by a political necessity to limit automobile use, while supporting transportation alternatives. As policy is an important determinant of mode choice, bicycle transportation must be supported by pro-active policy. In addition, bicycle …
