My Official Thesis Acknowledgements


ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

I would like to firstly thank my supervisor, Alec Fearon. His mentoring style, philosophical mind, diagramming abilities, humour, and care helped me immensely throughout the year. I am a better researcher and thinker because of him.

I would like to thank Dennis Silverwood, for aiding me in improving my work through his insights, criticisms, and tough questions.

I would like to acknowledge Eddie Borup, for being my exploratory guide through the United Nations Development Programme; for occasionally bringing me out of the archival dead-end.

I would like to recognise Ned Robins, for sparking and fuelling my interest in risk management.

I would like to thank my friends. I endured because of them.

Finally, I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to my family. Completing this thesis would have not been possible without their support, their prayers, and their belief in me. My special thanks to my twin-sister, for being my constant source of encouragement.

Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam
