The confiscation of émigré property reveals the many different, conflicting ways that property was used in Revolutionary France. Studying the question of property and the process of émigré confiscation from the perspectives of law, politics, administration, social relations, and economic activity, the dissertation shows that as the Revolutionary leadership reduced the legal limits of property to a right held by individuals, they continued to rely on other relationships secured by property in their vision of the revolutionized polity. Still, this vision conflicted with the ways that citizens used property to secure relationships and create wealth. The project contextualizes a core piece of global political and economic systems in the historical contingency from which it emerged, offering a new way to think about the French Revolution. / History

The idea that a technology gap between the United States of America and Western Europe existed emerged in the early 1960s. Western Europeans attributed the gap to a dramatic increase in direct American investment, government support for R and D, firm size, as well as the brain drain, while American Scholars argued that the roots of the gap were the archaic educational systems and the hierarchical social structures of Western Europe. In order to support their national computer industries against American competition, French and German policy makers chose to counter the technology gap by developing national support programs. Although both countries responded to the same socio-economic problem, the resulting industrial programs differed fundamentally. The purpose of this study is to gain an understanding of industrial policy in the 1960s and, through a comparative analysis show, how industrial policy is shaped by political and cultural aspects within individual countries.

Historians specializing in the Second World War have often characterized Canada as an Atlantic Power whilst tending to ignore its important role in the Pacific. Moreover, historians have often characterized Canada as a very minor component of the Anglo-American alliance that emerged in 1941. Canada's response to the Far East crisis may be better understood through a detailed study of the intelligence operations and strategic planning that preceded the outbreak of war in the Pacific. Several primary sources, including contemporaneous war records, internal histories, memoirs and post-war accounts from former participants in wartime intelligence operations, suggest that Canada was better prepared for the Pacific War than previously known. In 1941, Canadian intelligence staff and strategists worked closely with their Allied and American counterparts to prepare for war with Japan. Canada monitored Japan's preparations for war and participated in Allied-American conferences concerning the Far East crisis, using multiple intelligence sources to optimize strategic planning. Throughout the developing crisis in the Far East, Canada sought to avoid conflict with Japan until American participation was assured, but fully anticipated action in Southeast Asia and the North Pacific, making various preparations for national and imperial defence.
