Hizbullah Terrorism Finance
Hizbullah, which has been designated a terrorist entity in several international jurisdictions, depends upon a substantial mobilization of financial resources to support its complex, multi-faceted organizational apparatus, its domestic activities in Lebanon, and its far-reaching transnational operations. This study surveys Hizbullah's resourcing requirements, and examines the role of military assistance from Iran and Syria along with Hizbullah's …
The Modernization of Iran and the Development of the Persian Carpet Industry
The two decades, 1925–45, witnessed a dramatic transformation and revitalization of the Persian carpet industry in response to developments in Iranian governance, society and economy. Two historical watersheds were covered by that period, notably the replacement of the Qajar dynasty by a modernizing administration under Reza Shah Pahlavi, and the subsequent wartime occupation of Iran jointly by the Soviet Union and Great Britain. It was during th…

Protecting Canada's Critical National Infrastructure from Terrorism
In 200 2 the government of Canada introduced the national security policy, its first ever, which identified critical infrastructure protection as one of its priority concerns.1 Five years later, in August 2007, the government promulgated the emergency management act, which affirmed federal authority over critical infrastructure protection. Since then, Public Safety Canada has been working on a national strategy and action plan for critical infras…

Misuse of Passports
The misuse of passports is intrinsically connected with international terrorism. Terrorist groups and their operatives demonstrate a propensity to travel in order to meet, organize, train, plan, reconnoiter targets, and deploy for attacks. To travel surreptitiously, terrorist activists and operatives typically make use of improperly obtained, altered, or counterfeit passports and visas. The present study addresses three key issues relating to the…

Canada among Nations 1999
Canada among Nations 1997
Ottawa: Carleton University Press, 1997, x, 325pp, $24.95The 13th volume in the venerable Canada Among Nations concentrates on Canada's involvement with a region alternatively conceived of as Asia or Asia Pacific. The focus is a valuable one considering that 1997 was Canada's Year of Asia Pacific, accompanied by more than 600 events across the country culminating in the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) extravaganza in Vancouver, and, unbe…
Canada in the World
In February, 1995, Canada's Liberal Government issued its first statement on foreign policy entitled “Canada in the World” which adopted an “integrated” approach to foreign policy. The present article reviews the foreign policy formulation process, and the discourse on aid that took place at the various stages of policy review and policy-making. Particular consideration is given to the mandate assigned to the Canadian International Development Ag…
East European Aid to Asian Developing Countries
One consequence of the democratization of Eastern Europe has been a sharp reduction in the provision of development assistance by the former Communist countries. At its high point in the mid-1980s, aid from Communist Eastern Europe to the developing countries is estimated to have peaked at between $516–537 million a year, supplementing Soviet aid of some $4–4.5 billion. Taken together, it is estimated that Soviet and East European Communist aid r…

International trade figures prominently in the economic growth strategies of East and Southeast Asian countries. Despite the economic recession experienced across much of the world since the early 1990s, the pace of economic growth was sustained virtually unabated in the countries of East and Southeast Asia.During the entire decade of the 1980s the East and Southeast Asian economies grew more than twice as rapidly as the rest of the world economy…

European Community Development Assistance to Asia
The European Community is distinctive among the donors of international development assistance. Although it is categorized officially as a multilateral aid institution, the Community differs in structure, purpose and role compared to other, more familiar organizations of that genre. Like other multilaterals, the European Community derives its aid budget, as well as its other financial resources, from the fiscal contributions of its Member states …

Canada's Economic Relations with Southeast Asia
In its reply to the Report of the Special Joint Committee of the Senate and House of Representatives (The Hockin Committee) on Independence and Internationalism (1986), the Government of Canada reiterated its intention to treat the Asia-Pacific as 'an area of concentration in the National Trade Strategy' (Canada's International Relations, 1986, p. 60).

Development Policies and Patterns of Agrarian Dominance in the Malaysian Rubber Export Economy
SINCE Malaysian independence over two decades ago, rubber production there has undergone a significant and far-reaching structural transformation, in social as well as economic dimensions. This transformation represented the outcome of policy responses to changing world market conditions for the export of natural rubber, which coincided with a political transition to independence and parliamentary government. In its response, government policy si…

Japanese Official Development Assistance to Southeast Asia
Japan's involvement as a donor of Official Development Assistance (ODA) can be traced back, historically, to post-second world war arrangements for war damage reparations. At that time, the late 1940s, early 1950s, Japan was itself a low-income country, whose industries had suffered widespread dislocation and ruin due to war. Yet, the new post-war Japanese government, eager to work its way back into the comity of nations, undertook to make repara…

Changing Planning Perspectives of Agricultural Development in Malaysia
Malaysia's planning organization has become the institutional centrepiece of that country's development effort. Indeed, Malaysia ranks as one of the non-Communist developing countries where planning is most highly institutionalized. Malaysian planning evolved as an effective policy mechanism for directing the authoritative allocation of public resources towards declared developmental objectives. Despite this attachment to national planning, Malay…
Malayan Rubber Policy
The decade of the 1950s constituted a turning-point in the history of Malayan rubber. This was marked by a changed world rubber market, along with incipient changes in Malayan economic aspirations and policies. Internationally, the creation of a large synthetic rubber industry in the main consuming country, the United States, posed a challenge to the competitive position and long-run prospects of Malayan plantation rubber. While coping with this …
The Indonesian Military and Economic Policy
Nothing foments institutional change so much as a sense of past institutional failure. The New Order that came into being as a result of the October 1965 assumption of power by the ABRI (Armed Forces of the Republic of Indonesia) inherited a crisis situation in economic policy. Decades of economic decay and capital dis-investment had brought the Indonesian economy to the brink of catastrophe. However, just as all revolutions are born in an ancien…
Malayan Labor in Transition Labor Policy and Trade Unionism, 1955-63
Malayan labor and trade union policy at the eve of Merdeka (Independence) bore the indelible imprints of past crises and uneven development. Prior to the Second World War trade unions were outlawed in British Malaya, where labor policy limited itself to protecting workers from the more blatant social and economic evils as a means of encouraging immigration of needed manpower.1 By the end of the war and Japanese occupation, however, the hitherto t…
Rubber Strategy for Post-War Malaya, 1945 – 48
Rubber, derived from the latex of the tree Heva brasiliensis , has from the First World War been the economic mainstay of the Malayan peninsula. Not only has rubber constituted Malaya's leading economic sector, but from 1914 down to the outbreak of war in Southeast Asia (with the two marginal exceptions of 1939 and 1941) Malaya was the world's largest single supplier of natural rubber. The revival of Malayan rubber was therefore of prime signific…
The Malaysian General Election of 1969
Contemporary comparative political science has regarded Malaysia as the most developed politically of the new of Asia and Africa. A good measure of Malaysia's imputed political development derived from its 'competitive' electoral process which had several parties vying freely and actively for political representation and, ultimately, power. Impressive as political performances as they have been, elections are really relatively new to Malaysia, th…

The Draft Development Plan of the Federation of Malaya 1950–55
Malaya's creditable economic performance prior to the Second World War was very much the product of growth without planning. It would be a mistake, to be sure, to attribute early Malayan economic growth solely to the initiative and enterprise of private individuals and firms acting independently of government. Certainly the British colonial administration, indirectly through fiscal measures and directly through the activities of an increasingly i…

A Reply to P.T. Bauer's Comment on Post-War Malayan Rubber Policy
Professor P. T. Bauer's Comment on Post-War Malayan Rubber Policy re-opens discussion on policy-making and developments in the Malayan rubber industry following the Second World War. However, most of the discussion in Professor Bauer's Comment does not relate to, and in fact explicitly dismisses the specific historical subject of my article to which it purports to refer, “Rubber Strategy for Post-War Malaya, 1945-1948” ( Journal of Southeast Asia…

The Structure of Government in the Colonial Federation of Malaya
The colonial Federation of Malaya, which came into being in 1948 and gave way to self-government in 1957, constituted in historical perspective a major formative influence in state-building. From the standpoint of recent Malayan history, the colonial Federation marked the transition from a variegated imperial pattern to modern state forms. To be sure, the colonial Federation was not the first effort at governmental modernization in British Malaya…
