	Talk:Confederation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The term "confederation" is thus used as a synonym of "federation." Confederations can be unstable, as was the case with the early United States in which dissatisfaction with the loose Articles of Confederation led to a much stronger central government under the Constitution of the United States.
		Canada is officially called the Confederation of Canada and even though it is now a federation it was originally a confederation of British colonies.
		I think the difference between federation and confederation and then between confederation and international organization might be hard to define, because evry political entity is unique with it's own laws and way of relationships between different parts of that entity.

	EducationGuardian.co.uk \| Students \| Business leaders back higher education bill
		British business leaders yesterday threw their weight behind the government's plans for university "top-up" tuition fees, but claimed the £3,000 annual limit would have to be "substantially" raised to help cash-strapped universities.
		Digby Jones, director general of the Confederation of British Industry (CBI), said his membership was "full square" behind the controversial proposals to charge deferred top-up fees from 2006, published in the long-awaited higher education bill last Thursday.
		Mr Clarke said: "the relationship between education and industry has to be transformed" and that the critical importance of the new proposals to the national economy had been underestimated in the debate so far.

		In every industry in the world, from agriculture to aerospace, there is a huge gap between the best practices of the leading firms and the practices of the great majority of producers in that industry.
		As the ideas pioneered and employed by the industry leaders diffuse to the rest of the competition, the followers catch up.

		So, a lot is already being done, and there is a new sense of optimism in the industry, tempered by proper concerns about the future and by the daily onslaughts of our friends in the press.
		It is sometimes difficult for front line managers to keep their sights up and work effectively against such a barrage of criticism - criticism that is not reflected in the views of passengers based on the very detailed surveys we undertake regularly.

		Our industrial trade with the Eastern European countries is largely tariff free today, and agriculture will follow in time.
		The United Kingdom Government and British business was right to emphasize in the 1980s that internal barriers to trade in Europe should be torn down - indeed I believe all business in Europe has gained from this.

		If there are divergent trends in unit labour cost pressures by country, either because of inadequate convergence at time of entry, or because shifts in the pattern of global supply and demand impact different countries in different ways.
