The Value-added Aspects of the Canadian Diamond Industry by Federal-Territorial Committee on Value-Added Aspects of the Canadian Diamond Industry - Northwest Territories Pdf

To understand the complex international diamond industry and how diamond production in the Northwest Territories would fit into it, this report begins by compiling basic information on the Canadian and international diamond industries as well as the economic situation in the Territories. It then examines six issues relating to establishing a value-added diamond industry in Canada and the Territories: trade policy, taxation, access to rough diamonds, training for the diamond and jewellery industries, the role of financial institutions in the value-added diamond industry, and security (including diamond-specific legislation). Appendices include summaries of presentations made to the committee studying the above issues, an overview of the world diamond industry, a review of federal and territorial programs and services supporting and encouraging medium and small business, and an analysis of relative business costs in the Northwest Territories.

The Mazzel Ritual by Dina Siegel Pdf

The academic study of diamonds is as multi-faceted as the precious stones themselves. Mineralogists and geographers have written about them, as have historians and economists and students of art and fashion. They each shine their light on a different aspect of this source of luminous radiance. But who would venture to describe the entire complicated worldwide system starting in the diamond mines and ending with the consumers of Western metropolises? In The Mazzel Ritual: Culture, Customs and Crime in the Diamond Trade, Russian-Israeli cultural anthropologist and criminologist Dina Siegel follows the route of a diamond from the mines of Africa to the shops of Europe and the United States, as it passes through countless hands and places and is smuggled, stolen, cut, polished, sold, exchanged and, finally, worn as jewelry. In the course of this long and exciting journey, a wide range of people face all sorts of risks and criminality, as well as various moral and ethical judgments. Siegel describes the range of ethnic groups that are active in the diamond trade and the culture and customs that are specific to this business. She analyses the dangers and threats to the industry and aims to uncover the strategies and tactics to deal with them. Finally, this story of risk, trust and crime examines the vulnerability of diamond production and distribution to illicit and criminal activities. This book is about the diamond business itself as well as about those involved in it. It tells the story of people who simply cannot stay away from this expensive and alluring commodity.

Handbook on Geopolitics and Security in the Arctic by Joachim Weber Pdf

Against the backdrop of climate change and tectonic political shifts in world politics, this handbook provides an overview of the most crucial geopolitical and security related issues in the Arctic. It discusses established shareholder's policies in the Arctic – those of Russia, Canada, the USA, Denmark, and Norway – as well as the politics and interests of other significant or future stakeholders, including China and India. Furthermore, it explains the economic situation and the legal framework that governs the Arctic, and the claims that Arctic states have made in order to expand their territories and exclusive economic zones. While illustrating the collaborative approach, represented by institutions such as the Arctic council, which has often been described as an exceptional institution in this region, the contributing authors examine potential resource and power conflicts between Arctic nations, due to competing interests. The authors also address topics such as changing alliances between Arctic nations, new sea lines of communication, technological shifts, and eventually the return to power politics in the area. Written by experts on international security studies and the Arctic, as well as practitioners from government institutions and international organizations, the book provides an invaluable source of information for anyone interested in geopolitical shifts and security issues in the High North.

Colonial Extractions by Paula Butler Pdf

Challenging Canada’s image as a humane, enlightened global actor, Colonial Extractions examines the troubling racial logic that underpins Canadian mining operations in several African countries. Drawing on colonial, postcolonial, and critical race theory, Paula Butler investigates Canadian mining activities and the discourses which serve to legitimate this work. Through a series of interviews with senior personnel of businesses with mining operations in Africa, Butler identifies a continuation of the same colonialist mindset that saw resource ownership and racial dominance over Indigenous peoples in Canada as part of Canada’s nation-building project. Financially, culturally, and psychologically, Canadians are invested in extracting resource-based wealth in the Global South, and – as Butler’s analysis of Canada’s influence over South Africa’s first post-apartheid mining legislation shows – they look to legitimize that extraction through neoliberal legal frameworks and a powerful national myth of benevolence. Complementing analyses of the industry through political economy or critical development studies, Colonial Extractions is a powerful and unsettling critique of the cultural dimension of Canada’s mining industry overseas.

Industrial Development and the Atlantic Fishery by Patton, Donald Pdf

From the back cover: In this book, Donald Patton identifies key opportunities for Canadian firms and provides estimates of potential markets for shipbuilders, electronics firms, and manufacturers of hardware, winches, fish-processing equipment and nets. Examples are cited of successful Canadian firms aleady moving into these markets. Equally important for the future is manpower training to qualify residents of the region for the skilled jobs created in the fishery. This book reviews the training programs now operating in the four Atlantic provinces and offers specific proposals for strengthening this activity.
