	Open Door. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		As a specific policy, it was first advanced by the United States, but it was rooted in the typical most-favored-nation clause of the treaties concluded with China after the Opium War (1839–42).
		Although the Open Door is generally associated with China, it also received recognition at the Berlin Conference of 1885, which declared that no power could levy preferential duties in the Congo basin.
		The Open Door principle had been further weakened by a series of secret treaties (1917) between Japan and the Allies, which promised Japan the German possessions in China.

	Liberia Publicaties
		In the 1970s the results of the Open Door Policy were impressive at first sight: Liberia had the largest registered merchant fleet in the world as a result of a flag of convenience policy.
		At the time of the introduction of the Open Door Policy, Liberia was characterised by a shortage of skilled labour, the lack of institutions which could check upon or supervise the arriving multinationals and an underestimation at the government level of the necessity to integrate all foreign investments in one overall development policy.
		One of the most important conclusions of this study is that the disappointing results of the Open Door Policy cannot be blamed only on ignorance and the lack of knowledge on the part of Liberia at the time of negotiations with foreign investors.

	Open Door Policy - MSN Encarta
		In the late 1800s, the major European powers had obtained control of important areas of China, and it appeared that the country would soon be divided into spheres of influence into which other trading nations would have no access.
		Accordingly, in 1899 and 1900 U.S. Secretary of State John Milton Hay negotiated an agreement with Britain, France, Germany, Russia, Italy, and Japan that guaranteed “equal and impartial trade with all parts of the Chinese Empire” and preservation of “Chinese territorial and administrative” integrity.
		The open door agreement remained the basis of U.S. policy toward China until the establishment of the Communist regime there in 1949; Japan's violations of it caused friction between that country and the United States before World War II.

	NCSALL: The Open Door Policy
		The open door policy at community colleges is a benefit to nontraditional adult learners who want to go to college but are intimidated by the criteria of the traditional admissions process.

		While opening doors to all students is a laudable goal, community colleges would do well to re-examine policies that admit students with very limited academic skills.

		In the Open Door process, if a complaint cannot be resolved by immediate management, then “it will be investigated by someone not in the organizational line,” an objective individual who will listen to both sides of the issue, explains Andrew McCormick, an IBM spokesperson.

	The Open Door Notes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		In 1899 U.S. Secretary of State John Hay proposed an "Open Door" policy in China in which all nations would have equal trading and development rights throughout all of China.
		Such a policy would put all the imperialist powers on equal footing in China and would limit the advantages of having ones own sphere of influence.
		As you read, think about how the Open Door policy might be seen as altruistic, and think about how it reflects American political and economic self-interest.

	Lesson: Open Door Policy
		Ever wonder why we don't hear a lot about Jesus knocking doors down and crashing parties?We know He went to weddings.He tended to bring funerals to a screeching halt by reviving the guest of honor.He was known to hang around with a rough lot of fishermen.Ignored the Sabbath on occasion.
		That is one good reason not to open the door.Some others are not so good.If we open the door, our visitor will get a good look at how we really live.They may judge us as being too fastidious, dirty, or messy.
		Jesus is not quite so particular.His door is open to everyone and the wedding feast is about to begin.2 Peter 3:9 tells us that He is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

	Spheres of Influence are Dissolved!
		The economic benefits of this policy for the United States will hopefully motivate it to stand by and defend it, because while it was not made with the purpose of benefiting China the fact that it is beneficial is evident.
		The ultimate effect of this policy in the long term will depend primarily on the commitment of the United States to their new policy.
		Ultimately, if the United States is not willing to enforce and defend their policy against countries who do not want to adhere to it such as Japan, then the open door policy, at least in its possible benefits for China will be a failure.

	THE OPEN-DOOR POLICY: (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		For example, in an organization that has a policy of flexitime, the supervisor who asks "Don't you think nine o'clock is a little late to start work tomorrow?" is manipulating; this loaded question is not open to yes and no responses.
		The supervisor who conveys openness acknowledges an agenda with a statement like, "I'd like you to come to work at eight o'clock tomorrow so that we can work on this budget; do you think that you can make it?" Such a request is honest, openly states the desires of the supervisor, and avoids game playing.
		A published open-door policy is meaningless if the supervisor does not take the time to be available or to demonstrate a true concern for his or her people.

	The Open Door Policy
		In the fall of 1898, President McKinley stated his desire for the creation of an "open door" that would allow all trading nations access to the Chinese market.

		An effort was made to shore up the Open Door in 1921-22 at the Washington Naval Conference, but a challenge was again mounted by the Japanese in the 1930s as they expanded their control in Manchuria.
