Though it often gets coupled with its southern neighbor and closest ally, the United States, Canada has distinguished itself by championing liberal democratic principles domestically and abroad. In terms of civil liberties, government transparency, and income equality, the Great White North consistently ranks among the highest internationally. It is no slouch economically either. Canada boasts the 10th-largest economy by nominal GDP, 3rd-biggest oil reserves, and one of the few banking systems to escape the Great Recession unscathed. 加拿大是全球最有文化素養的國家之一,也是數一數二最多元化的。儘管常被拿來和美國這個南方鄰國暨最親近的盟友相提並論,加拿大因支持國內外的自由民主制度而顯得出類拔萃。就公民自由、政府透明度及收入均等而言,這個北方雪白大國始終在國際間名列前茅。加拿大在經濟方面亦毫不遜色。該國自豪地擁有以名義國內生產毛額計算的第十大經濟體、第三大石油儲量以及少數逃過經濟大蕭條而毫髮無傷的銀行體系。 10 社交不冷場 ★★ Trendy Topics 上班族夯話題 ◎ extradition bill《送中條例》 ◎ cloud gaming 雲端遊戲 ◎ Libra 臉書幣 13 商務應用會話 ★★★★ Nailing a Sales Performance Presentation 簡報英語:季末業績檢討 [真人影片] ◎ 簡報圖表實用句 ◎「打擊某人」的英語怎麼說? ◎ 什麼是 stack up? 20 多益聽力解析 ★★ TOEIC Photographs 多益照片敘述 解題秘技 ◎ 人物照答題要點 ◎ 人物照練習與實戰演練 22 多益閱讀解析 ★★ TOEIC Multiple Passages 多益多篇閱讀 解題秘技 ◎ 實戰題組 & 試題解析 24 財經詞彙 ★★★ Debt Financing 債務融資 ◎ 債務融資概念詞彙 ◎ 債務融資類別 & 利弊 ◎ 債務融資應用會話 27國家競爭力 ★★★★ Canada’s AI Gold Rush 加拿大:新 AI 超級強國 ◎「為……奠定基礎」的英語怎麼說? ◎ drop the gloves跟「手套」有關嗎? ◎ 圖解加拿大風情物 33 商務寫作學院 ★★★ Lodging and Responding to Customer Complaints 客訴信寫作大全 ◎ 信件範例(一):顧客投訴篇 ◎ 信件範例(二):回覆客訴篇 43 辦公室會話 ★★ The Nuts and Bolts of an Office 用英語討論辦公設備問題 [真人影片] ◎ 圖解辦公室物品 ◎ 什麼是 out of order? ◎「沒轍」的英語怎麼說? 50 biz 鮮詞彙 ★★★ Cyberchondria: An Epidemic of Online-Induced Anxiety 網路疑病症 ◎ at one’s fingertips 跟「指尖」有關嗎? ◎「心靈平靜」的英語怎麼說 ◎ 什麼是false positive? 52職場溝通不NG ★★ A Difference of Opinions 用英語表達贊成與反對 ◎「贊成」、「部分贊成」與「反對」好用句型 ◎「贊成」、「部分贊成」與「反對」實用短句 55 產業風雲 ★★★★★ A New Wave of Disruptive Unicorns 新獨角獸公司點將錄 ◎「大放異彩」的英語怎麼說? ◎ 什麼是 strike a chord with sb? ◎ 轉帳交易小詞典 60 全球新視窗 ★★★ Something Agriculturally New 農產新鮮事 ◎ 農場小詞典、食物保鮮小詞典 ◎ 什麼是 keep sth at bay? ◎「售貨期」的英語怎麼說? 62 電影快報 ★★★ Learning English With Movies 看電影學英語 One Last Deal《匿名的畫作》 Ad Astra《星際救援》 65 TOEIC Test 多益測驗模擬試題

The Political Economy of Extractivism

For many countries, primarily in the Global South, extractivism – the exploiting and exporting of natural resources – is big business. For those exporting countries, natural resource rents create hope and promise for development which can be a seductive force. This book explores the depth of extractivism in economies around the world. The contributions to this book investigate the connection between the political economy of extractivism and its impact on the sociopolitical fabric of natural resource exporting societies in Asia, Africa, Latin America, and Eastern Europe. The book engages with a comparative perspective on the persistence of extractivism in these four different world regions. The book focuses on the formative power of rents and argues that rents are seductive. The individual contributions flesh out this seductive force of rents on different political scales and how this seduction affects a variety of actors. The book investigates how these actors react to the prevalence of rent, how they align or break with specific political and economic strategies, and how myths of resource-driven development play out on the ground. The book, therefore, underlines that rent theory bridges current debates in different area communities and offers fresh insights into extractivist societies’ social, economic, and political dynamics. This book will be of significant interest to readers in political economy, political science, development studies, and area studies.

This Regional Studies Policy Impact Book brings together the latest academic evidence and public policy insights with global value chains (GVCs) and foreign direct investment (FDI). It comprises a comprehensive description and explanation of why they matter for regional development and policy. It focuses on how sub-national regions can leverage them for innovation and upgrading, or "levelling up". Specifically, its attention is on how regions can build, embed and reshape GVCs to their local enhancement. The book makes the case for proactive sub-national public policy, on the engagement of GVCs. Vertically engaging with FDI rather than setting the ground and letting manna drop from heaven. Its chosen approach is three-fold. First, it looks at why. Why GVCs and FDI matter and why sub-national policymakers should focus their attention on upgrading. It critically reviews different streams of research and evidence. This is in order to identify key definitions and conceptual foundations for the analysis of the link between GVCs, FDI and innovation at the sub-national and local level. Second, it looks at what. This is through new conceptualisations and critical insights on the regional drivers and impacts of global connectivity, bridging macro-international and micro-firm level approaches. Third, is the critical how. How policymakers can leverage GVCs and FDI for their regional benefit. It aims to review empirical evidence and available policy evaluation in order to highlight what works (and what does not) when leveraging these concepts to shape public policies with particular reference to less developed regions. If the above is of interest, then the book is for you. It is based on leading academic literature but uses non-technical language throughout making it engaging for policymakers, researchers and students alike.

Understanding the global security environment and delivering the necessary governance responses is a central challenge of the 21st century. On a global scale, the central regulatory tool for such responses is public international law. But what is the state, role, and relevance of public international law in today's complex and highly dynamic global security environment? Which concepts of security are anchored in international law? How is the global security environment shaping international law, and how is international law in turn influencing other normative frameworks? The Oxford Handbook of the International Law of Global Security provides a ground-breaking overview of the relationship between international law and global security. It constitutes a comprehensive and systematic mapping of the various sub-fields of international law dealing with global security challenges, and offers authoritative guidance on key trends and debates around the relationship between public international law and global security governance. This Handbook highlights the central role of public international law in an effective global security architecture and, in doing so, addresses some of the most pressing legal and policy challenges of our time. The Handbook features original contributions by leading scholars and practitioners from a wide range of professional and disciplinary backgrounds, reflecting the fluidity of the concept of global security and the diversity of scholarship in this area.
