Reopening The Fair Gate, Toshihiro Tanioka
History Theses & Dissertations
On July 27, 1952, the Congress of the United States of America passed, over President Harry s.

This study attempts to uncover Lincoln’s policy toward Oregon, including War developments and his domestic policy, to partially fill the “western gap” in Lincoln scholarship.

Social Dependency And Chinese Political Economic Reform, Jiang Li

This study of Chinese politics, economics, society and culture is intended to contribute to better understanding of the contemporary reforms in China. This task was not easy due to the facts that China has not been open to direct observation, and its policies were influenced by unpredicted changes.
