  • Inquiry & Insight
    INQUIRY & I NSIGHT UNIVERSITY OF WATERLOO ’S GRADUATE JOURNAL OF POLITICAL SCIENCE VOLUME 4, N UMBER 1 © U NIVERSITY OF WATERLOO 2011 LETTER FROM THE EDITOR In a Day of Affirmation speech delivered at the University of Cape Town, Robert F. Kennedy made reference to a Chinese curse that is as relevant today as it was on that fateful day in 1966 – “May you live in interesting times.” Recent economic crises, international political turmoil, regional conflicts and environmental concerns have certainly brought this equivocal proposition to fruition. Whether as political scientists we consider this to be a positive or a negative, it has nonetheless allowed for interesting debate and analysis of current affairs. By extension, the articles included in this year’s edition of Inquiry & Insight reflect this tumultuous environment, and explore financial issues such as the minimum wage in Canada and the European sovereign debt crisis. Furthermore, this volume includes an analysis of China’s foreign policy, human rights norms, and environmental politics – an increasingly relevant and influential field. Perhaps most reflective of these interesting times is an analysis of the 2011 Egyptian Uprising, informed by the first-hand experiences of the author in this revolutionary milieu. The fourth volume of Inquiry & Insight includes works by both Master’s and Ph.D. students from prominent universities around the world. With a record number of submissions received from a broader range of international institutions, this year’s publication furthers the success of previous issues, and strives to perpetually improve the quality of work included. To this end, particular emphasis was placed on the originality of research, as well as conceptualization, operalization and methodology.

  • The Role of Multilateral Intervention to Restore Local Justice Systems Final Report - December 1995
    States Without Law: The Role of Multilateral Intervention to Restore Local Justice Systems Final Report - December 1995 A Seminar Organized by the Canadian Committee for the 50th Anniversary of the United Nations and The International Centre for Criminal Law Reform and Criminal Justice Policy at Green College, University of British Columbia States Without Law: The Role of Multilateral Intervention to Restore Local Justice Systems From Cambodia to Rwanda to the former Yugoslavia to Haiti, a key component of post-conflict peace-building is the re-establishment of governmental and legal structures. For states emerging from war, both a functioning government and a credible justice system are essential to ensuring that societies do not slip back into conflict. Increasingly, United Nations peace missions are taking on these peace-building responsibilities. In the space of a few short years, the world has moved from traditional peace-keeping, which was expected to do little but separate warring factions to allow breathing space for negotiations, to complex humanitarian interventions where the UN and the broader international community have become enmeshed in all of the machinery of government. And as the major UN interventions of the past five years have bluntly demonstrated, the United Nations is travelling up a steep learning curve as it seeks to help societies re-build themselves. At the University of British Columbia on December 9, 1995, a broad array of legal and strategic thinkers focussed their attention on the role of the international community in restoring order to conflict-wracked societies or "failed states." As one speaker after another pointed out, the old idea that peace-keepers and aid agencies can march into conflict situations, stop the fighting and the bleeding, and march out again is painfully outdated.

  • Canadian Military Strategy in Somalia and the Implications for Afghanistan*
    The Journal of Conflict Studies Success in Failed States: Canadian Military Strategy in Somalia and the Implications for Afghanistan* by Grant Dawson ABSTRACT This article on the Canadian mission in Somalia takes a contrarian approach to the conventional wisdom, which — focusing on the tor- ture and murder of a Somali civilian — holds that the Canadian effort was a disaster. It points out that in the Somalia operation one can see the genesis of the “3D” (Defence, Development, Diplomacy) approach which now so clearly defines the Canadian mission in Afghanistan. The Canadian Forces first worked to establish securi- ty, then encouraged Somalis to embrace the peace-making process. The Canadians ‘led from behind,’ working with and encouraging local leaders to define community needs and projects. Finally, they engaged other Canadian government agencies to provide the devel- opment and reconstruction resources. However, I caution readers about the perils of drawing ‘lessons’ from the Somalia case, if only because one lesson that could be drawn easily would be to avoid such operations altogether and leave failed states to fester. The arti- cle argues that the application of the 3D approach in Afghanistan was simply a case of doing ‘what works.’ The real lesson of Somalia is that rescuing failed states requires patience — years, even decades, of commitment — and huge amounts of money, talented people, and political will. INTRODUCTION Somalia was the scene of separate United Nations peacekeeping and non- United Nations enforcement operations in 1992-93. The Horn of Africa country was one of the first of the post-Cold War era to experience the misfortune of state failure and to inspire urgent calls for intervention because of massive human suf- fering and disorder.
