Connection between western culture and colonialism/imperialism

Stuart Hall says that the discourse of “the West and the Rest” is “always implicated in power” relationships (page 204). He believes the idea of western culture – “Plato to Nato” (Appiah, page 6) is connected to colonialism and imperialism. Explain what the idea of western culture is often taken to be and how Stuart Hall believes it connects to the history of colonialism/imperialism.

Carbon pricing is one of the mechanisms that Federal, Provincial and Territorial governments have implemented to achieve the objectives set out in the Pan Canadian Framework. However, will the carbon pricing strategy prove effective in reducing Canadas GHG emissions?

See instructions below Topic: Evaluation of the impact of carbon pricing on environmental performance and economic development in energy and service industry-based economies Canada has set ambitious goals at national and provincial levels to meet greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets, in line with the Paris accord. More importantly, what are the likely economic implications of taxing carbon? In economic theory, the environmental Kuznetss curve has been used to access the increase and decrease of environmental degradation as a measure of economic development. An inverted U shape is expected beyond a turning point of economic development (one of the measures of economic improvement being gross domestic product – GDP – or income inequality). The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has outlined measures of environmental improvement or degradation (see supporting attachment). Canada has provinces which are characterized by different industrial or economic activities that may affect both environmental improvement/degradation and economic development (such as predominantly oil and gas production in Western Canada – Provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan – and service related activities in eastern Canada – Province of Ontario). Using the background provided above, prepare a 10-page dissertation proposal that will test the validity or invalidity of the environmental Kuznets curve theory in Canada, with a focus on an oil and gas based western Canadian province (Alberta) and a service industry based eastern Canadian province (Ontario). Feel free to propose the testing of any other business or economic hypothesis, theory, and/or model that may be relevant or complementary to the environmental Kuznets curve. Some of the problems to be addressed are: The validity or invalidity of the environmental Kuznetss curve in Alberta and Ontario How carbon prices affect energy prices and how this relationship between carbon prices and energy prices could affect the environmental Kuznets curve in Alberta and Ontario Recommended sources of data to be mentioned/used in the write-up: Statistics Canada, OECD data, World Bank, Energy Information and Administration (EIA), International Energy Agency (IEA), any other relevant data source Methods to be proposed: Preferably quantitative analytical techniques. General equilibrium or input-output economic modeling. Mixed method approach would also be welcome if a convincing argument can be provided. Mention software, tools, and models where applicable. Format for the Proposal At least 10 pages of text (excluding title page, table of contents, figures, and tables in the appendix, and references) Single-spaced using Garamond, 11. Absolutely no plagiarism Suggestion: The proposal should consist of (but not limited to) the following elements: 1.Title of the Study Evaluation of the impact of carbon pricing on environmental performance and economic development in energy and service industry-based economies 2.Abstract An abstract (preferred) or an executive summary 3.Purpose of the Study One to three sentences: The purpose of this study is to. 4.Research Problems A paragraph or two to describe the problem(s) exactly. The problem should be clearly differentiated from the research objectives or outcomes. 5. Research Questions/Hypotheses Related to Research Problem(s) Each research problem should have one or more (four maximum) related questions, hypotheses, or sub-problems. 6.Background to the research problem (Justification of Study) Since the statement of the problem should be very brief, it is necessary to separately explain the background to the problem. Clarify the area of concern or the needs that justify the research (this could be a sub-heading). Indicate why you believe that it is, in fact, a researchable problem. (approximately 1 page) 7.Literature Review Relevant literature (summarized). Address key factors (variables) under study Outline previous research findings Shows interrelationships The literature review should: Provide evidence that you are well acquainted with past and current research in the field of study Prove that the dissertation will not duplicate past or current research Indicate how the intended research relates to similar and past research. In other words, the literature review should position the research within the existing body of knowledge (in this case, measures of economic and environmental performance, Kuznets curve, environmental Kuznets curve, carbon pricing and its relationship(s) to energy prices, general equilibrium modeling, input-output economic modeling, etc.) 8.Research design and methodology This section should address the data collection techniques that will be used. Furthermore, this section should discuss the potential study sample (remember to focus on economic and environmental data from Alberta and Ontario), how cases are selected, access to the sample, etc. It is important to present a sound provisional indication that the methodology you are proposing is relevant and acceptable for the research problem you are proposing to address. Clarify the method(s) of the investigation, e.g: Questionnaires Personal interviews Focus groups Direct/Participant observation Mathematical modeling Design techniques, etc. Indicate the sampling methodology, e.g.: Size of sample Population Experimental and control groups Prevention of bias, etc. As this may likely be a quantitative research, indicate statistical methods and substantiate why you suggest using the proposed specific statistical methods. If you believe that a mixed method approach may be more beneficial than a purely quantitative research method, you are welcome to adopt this approach in preparing the proposal and indicate what methods of investigation (complementary to quantitative techniques) that should be used e.g. surveys, interviews, etc. 9.Limitations of the Study Discuss the matters and occurrences that may arise in addressing the research problems outlined which would be out of the researcher’s control. Clearly indicate how the issues identified could limit the extent to which this research effort can go and whether they may affect the results and conclusions that can be drawn. 10.Key Operational Definitions Explain clearly and fully what is meant by each key research variable. 11.The significance of the research Indicate the significance of the research. Why is it important? Whom, or what industry, will it benefit?

Discuss the implication of the industry and country environment on the innovation strategy of the firm (400 words)

I am attaching a zipped folder with several companies from Brazil. Inside the folder you will find Banco Bradesco, BRF, ITAU Unibanco, JBS, VALE and Petroleo Brasileiro. Pick ONE of these companies as basis for the assignment. Software You are expected to use Netdraw software during the course. Netdraw is a freeware network visualization software. The software is available on the University Network and can also be downloaded from https://sites.google.com/site/netdrawsoftware/download INDIVIDUAL REPORT – COMPANY ANALYSIS Every student is expected to perform an analysis of the dataset provided. The dataset will describe the parent-subsidiary network for a multinational company. The objective of this coursework is to measure familiarity with data management and visualization and establish connection between real data and theories. A more advanced use of the software, drawing on tutors feedback, is expected for the third item of assessment. Students are expected to use network analysis visualization and basic data analysis techniques to discuss how the parent subsidiary-network affected the firms innovation capability. By doing this, students are expected to collect other information about the given company, as well as to apply knowledge and theories developed in the course and use other relevant academic articles. Specifically, you are expected to: – Provide an overview of the internationalization strategy of the company (indicatively 400 words) – Use network analysis techniques and visualizations to describe the parent-subsidiary network, (indicatively 700 words) – Provide a preliminary, exploratory, interpretation of the role played by some subsidiaries considering aspects such as their network centrality (degree, betweenness, closeness/farness, and eigenvector centrality), geographical location, activity, size and other relevant characteristics (500 words) – The course will heavily rely on network studies to understand organizations. The work of Rob Cross is particularly relevant for the purpose of the course. 1. Cross, Robert L., and Robert J. Thomas (2008). Driving results through social networks: How top organizations leverage networks for performance and growth. John Wiley & Sons. 2. Cross, Robert L., and Andrew Parker (2004).
