Thesis advisor: Marc Landy / Thesis advisor: Gerald Easter / The Federal Reserve System has been the focus of significant scrutiny, but stakeholders educated as to its history and functions are aware that it serves as a crucial resource for preserving national (and by extension global) economic stability. This paper consists of a historical overview of the Federal Reserve and the many controversies, which have led to adjustments that improved the system and kept it effective throughout changing times. With discussion of its constitutional foundations, the establishment of the central bank of the United States, pertinent legislation, and political controversies, the Federal Reserve will be explained in a comprehensive way that can lead to accurate appreciation for the nature of the System, as it exists today – with greater transparency and importance than ever before. / Thesis (MA) — Boston College, 2015. / Submitted to: Boston College.

During the 19th century, British imperialism and Canadian colonialism aspired to subdue, subjugate and assimilate the Plains Cree (cf. Tobias 1992:148). This particular brand of colonialism employed Indian policy – a form of structural violence—rather than military force. I argue that structural violence was both legitimized and supported by cultural violence. The distortion of history is a prime example of cultural violence. That Canada followed an honorable and just policy in its dealings with Plains Indians (cf. Tobias 1983:519) is the contemporary residue of a myth created during colonial times in political circles to justify the dispossession of Aboriginal lands and resources. In the 19th Century, Cree leaders, Piapot and Big Bear, who were perceived as threats to Canadian “progress,” were routinely publicly maligned. The “official” historical literature often uncritically reflected these prevalent ethnocentric views of the day. Critical historical theorists, however, have offered a number of opposing views. This thesis focuses attention on the literature which takes a more critical and culturally informed approach to Canadian nation-building. It places a discussion of structural constraints at the centre of an exploration of the strategies Plains leaders used to resist a variety of Indian policies including reserve settlement.

This study is to assess natural resource management practices in Xilingol Biosphere Reserve (XBR) located in northern China in their institutional contexts. Institutions including legislation, regulations and administrative structures, responsibilities associated with land and resource rights, decision making powers and processes, and community participation, and the interactions between these institutions have exerted great impacts on how natural resources are used and managed in XBR. Local people have experienced great socioeconomic losses accompanied with the establishment of XBR. However, they have not been provided with adequate compensation for their lost benefits. This gave rise to the conflict between local people and XBR. The findings indicate that partnerships prove to be an inevitable trend for improving the reserve management and facilitating the resolution of a series of issues facing XBR.
