State reorientation and discursive strategies of the Canadian Council of the Chief Executives
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Canadian Council of Chief Executives (CCCE) is a lobby group for Canada's top 150 CEOs. This organization consolidates the various demands of corporate capital into a\nunified voice to influence Canadian public policy. This thesis will periodize the CCCE's policy recommendations from 1988 to 2008 to historically examine the evolving trajectory of discourses produced by the CCCE. To theorize processes of state reorientation and economic restructuring occurring in Canada, and the CCCE's role within these transformations, this thesis draws on Jessop's (2002) concept of the "Schumpeterian Competition State". I also employ Gramsci's (1971) theory of hegemony to frame how the CCCE persistently attempts to replace existing forms of "common sense" with their own particular form of economic rationality. I conclude that the CCCE provides strategic-discursive frameworks that positively interpret processes of economic restructuring, helping reorient Canadian public policy, thus illustrating the CCCE as a conduit of hegemonic discourses.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
