  • 2010-11 Annual Report
    2010-11 Parliamentary Interns 2010-11 Annual Report 83rd Annual Conference Canadian Political Science Association Waterloo, Ontario May 18, 2011 Garth Williams Director In Memorium Dr. Jean-Pierre Gaboury passed away on Thursday, March 17, 2011. Jean-Pierre was the longest-serving Director of the Parliamentary Internship Programme, having fulfilled this role on two occasions from 1975-77 and 2002-08. He was the heart and soul of the Programme for many years, a true friend and mentor to all interns, a kind, erudite and honourable man. He cared deeply for the interns and alumni, friends and sponsors, MPs and others whom he brought into the PIP "family." In his last years as Director, Jean-Pierre worked with former interns to update the website and trace alumni through the years, two thoughtful and prescient steps that have laid an important foundation for the years ahead. He is sorely missed. 2 Introduction The 2010-11 intern year has been one of accomplishment and consolidation: building on major initiatives introduced last year by the Programme and our Alumni Association. It has been marked, also, by the energies of a remarkable group of interns (who share some of their experience through blog extracts in the attached Annex I) and, of course, the 2011 Federal Election. These themes run through the following report on Programme activities, budget and governance issues described below. Please note the recommendation of the Advisory Board, for decision by the CPSA Board, on page 8. Programme Activities Intern activities focused on the three fundamental objectives of the Programme: 1. Support democracy by providing qualified assistants to Members of Parliament 2.

  • The Fragility of Fear: the Contentious Politics of Emotion and Security in Canada
    The Fragility of Fear: the Contentious Politics of Emotion and Security in Canada by Eric Van Rythoven A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In Political Science Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario ©2017, Eric Van Rythoven Abstract International Relations (IR) theory commonly holds security arguments as powerful instruments of political mobilization because they work to instill, circulate, and intensify popular fears over a threat to a community. Missing from this view is how security arguments often provoke a much wider range of emotional reactions, many of which frustrate and constrain state officials’ attempts to frame issues as security problems. This dissertation offers a corrective by outlining a theory of the contentious politics of emotion and security. Drawing inspiration from a variety of different social theorists of emotion, including Goffman’s interactionist sociology, this approach treats emotions as emerging from distinctive repertoires of social interaction. These emotions play a key role in enabling audiences to sort through the sound and noise of security discourse by indexing the significance of different events to our bodies. Yet popular emotions are rarely harmonious; they’re socialized and circulated through a myriad of different pathways. Different repertoires of interaction in popular culture, public rituals, and memorialization leave audiences with different ways of feeling about putative threats. The result is mixed and contentious emotions which shape both opportunities and constraints for new security policies. The empirical purchase of this theory is illustrated with two cases drawn from the Canadian context: indigenous protest and the F-35 procurement.
