Canadian Prime Minister Caught in Dissertation Scandal.


Newly elected Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has found himself at the center of a scandal due to allegations of plagiarism. Experts have identified ten instances of improper borrowing in his doctoral dissertation, defended at Oxford. This was reported by the National Post.
Carney's academic supervisor stated that he completed his dissertation in less than two years. According to the National Post, ten instances of clear plagiarism have been found in the text of his academic work from 1995 titled 'Dynamic Competitive Advantage'.
Experts have established that Carney used full quotes, paraphrased fragments, or slightly altered excerpts from four other academic works without proper attribution to the authors in his dissertation.
One researcher, Jeffrey Sigalet, noted that such behavior is an example of classic plagiarism: 'He simply retells someone else's text without proper citation.'
For her part, the spokesperson for the liberal campaign, Isabella Orozco-Medison, dismissed the plagiarism allegations, calling them 'an irresponsible and false interpretation' of Carney's academic work.
On March 9, the Liberal Party of Canada elected Mark Carney as its new leader, who will assume the position of Prime Minister after Justin Trudeau.
Mark Carney, former Governor of the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England, has no political experience, but his economic expertise is defined by the conditions of the trade war with the United States.
The leadership elections took place against the backdrop of rising popularity of the Liberal Party, partially due to opposition to the policies of U.S. President Donald Trump directed against Canada.
