Annual Report 2002-2003
CANADIAN INSTITUT INSTITUTE OF CANADIEN DES INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRES ANNUAL REPORT AFFAIRS INTERNATIONALES CIIA/ICAI 2002-2003 Glendon Manor, Glendon College 2275 Bayview Avenue, Toronto, ON (416) 487-6830 1 (800) 668-2442 THE CIIA’ S MISSION As Canada’s only not-for-profit public policy institute spanning the full range of international affairs issues, the Canadian Institute of International Affairs has a unique and vital role to play in promoting public understanding of international events and in influencing public policy in the international domain. As we celebrate our 75th anniversary in 2003, we are reaching out to new audiences, particularly to students, and we continue with pride to serve a changing and international- ly active country. YEARLY OVERVIEW 2002-2003 was marked by the CIIA’s 75th anniversary celebrations. The Institute had a new anniversary logo developed for use on letterhead and promotional materials, and planned exciting events such as the meeting of former foreign minis- ters held on 30 January 2003, the CIIA’s birthday, and an expanded foreign policy conference in Toronto. The CIIA’s archives were plundered for historical information used to film a short commemorative video about the history of the CIIA; the video encompasses photographs and interviews with CIIA supporters and long-time members to tell the story of this historic institution. Branches held celebratory events in their local communities, and the National Office once again welcomed friends of the CIIA to the annual garden party. Articles by Louise Arbour, the Hon. Bill Graham, Kim Nossal, and Denis Stairs were published in Behind the Headlines and we were thrilled to assist in the launch, with Nicholas Hoare bookstore in Toronto, of Margaret MacMillan’s bestselling Paris 1919. -
Ian Stewart in His Own Words
Ian Stewart in his Own Words Ian Stewart Preface by Fred Gorbet th WHEN ANDREW AND I SET OUT TO MARK Ian’s 80 birthday, and extraor- dinary professional career, with this festschrift, I volunteered to draft a brief biography of Ian – focusing on the years we worked together, which encom- passed most of the time from 1968 through 1982. This turned out to be much more difficult than anticipated. Ian was a fantastic mentor to me. He hired me directly out of graduate school to join him at the Bank of Canada in 1968. Through long evenings working on the econometric model RDX2, he taught me more about economics and particularly the nature of the economic adjustment process than I had ever learned in university. As time went on and Ian’s focus shifted from research to the practical application of public policy, he never ceased to challenge me with his keen appreciation of the role of analysis in effective policy design and implementation and his enduring sense of fairness and compassion. Yet, when it came to write about this career, I realized that time had erased many memories and notwithstanding our long New Directions for Intelligent Government in Canada 19 association, there were many gaps in the story as I knew it. I turned to Ian and asked for a brief synopsis of his professional life – one that would bullet-point highlights, achievements, challenges, colleagues, etc. I felt that with this raw material I could fashion a tapestry that would illumi- nate the character and achievements of one of Canada’s best economic researchers and policy advisers. -
Women As Executive Leaders: Canada in the Context of Anglo-Almerican Systems*
Women as Executive Leaders: Canada in the Context of Anglo-Almerican Systems* Patricia Lee Sykes American University Washington DC [email protected] *Not for citation without permission of the author. Paper prepared for delivery at the Canadian Political Science Association Annual Conference and the Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences, Concordia University, Montreal, June 1-3, 2010. Abstract This research identifies the obstacles and opportunities women as executives encounter and explores when, why, and how they might engender change by advancing the interests and enhancing the status of women as a group. Various positions of executive leadership provide a range of opportunities to investigate and analyze the experiences of women – as prime ministers and party leaders, cabinet ministers, governors/premiers/first ministers, and in modern (non-monarchical) ceremonial posts. Comparative analysis indicates that the institutions, ideology, and evolution of Anglo- American democracies tend to put women as executive leaders at a distinct disadvantage. Placing Canada in this context reveals that its female executives face the same challenges as women in other Anglo countries, while Canadian women also encounter additional obstacles that make their environment even more challenging. Sources include parliamentary records, government documents, public opinion polls, news reports, leaders’ memoirs and diaries, and extensive elite interviews. This research identifies the obstacles and opportunities women as executives encounter and explores when, why, and how they might engender change by advancing the interests and enhancing the status of women. Comparative analysis indicates that the institutions, ideology, and evolution of Anglo-American democracies tend to put women as executive leaders at a distinct disadvantage. -

Departmental Audit Committees and Governance: Improving Scrutiny Or Allaying Public Perceptions of Poor Management?
Departmental Audit Committees and Governance: Improving Scrutiny or Allaying Public Perceptions of Poor Management? Robert P. Shepherd School of Public Policy and Administration Carleton University, Ottawa, ON Delivered at CPSA Annual Conference May 29, 2009 Departmental Audit Committees and Governance: Improving Scrutiny or Allaying Public Perceptions of Poor Management? “I don't think any institution can go through the scrutiny, the scrubbing we've gone through and come out squeaky clean.” Kofi Annan, 2001 INTRODUCTION1 A fundamental shift is occurring in Canada‟s federal public management - quietly, discreetly and well below the radar of many discussions on the topic. A directive issued by the Treasury Board and administered by the Office of the Comptroller General, requires departments and agencies to institute “departmental and agency audit committees” (DAACs) as of 1 April 2006. The role of these committees is to “ensure that the deputy head has independent, objective advice, guidance, and assurance on the adequacy of the department‟s control and accountability processes. In order to give this support to the deputy head, the audit committee should exercise active oversight of core areas of departmental control and accountability in an integrated and systematic way.”2 These committees support deputy heads in their role as accounting officers. Members of these committees are typically former senior public servants, academics or, as is becoming the norm, former or current high ranking officers from private sector firms. That these individuals would have singular and regular access to deputy heads and detailed and confidential information about the management within departments is unprecedented. That they have the authority and resources to compel departmental officials through the deputy head to follow their advice is also a fundamental shift in organizational culture for federal departments and agencies. -
