  • Book Reviews
    333 Book Reviews E. Shragge, R. Babin, and J.G. Vaillancourt, (Editors). ROOTS OF PEACE: THE MOVEMENT AGAINST MIUTARISM IN CANADA. Toronto: Between the Lines, 1986. 203 pp. $12.95 Roots of Peace: The Movemenl Against Militarism in Canada is a collection of articles on a wide range of peace-re1ated issues, from Canada's role in NATO to liberation struggles in the Third World. The book's contributors include disannament activists, feminists, community organizers, academics, and a retired general. However, despite this diversity of issues and perspectives, the book's 13 articles leave one with a single, two-part message. The flCSt part: Canada is a full and voluntary player in the anns race. We are told to look beyond Washington and Moscow to find reasons for increased global militarization. We should look closer to home, at our communities, our places of work. We should look to Canada's economic system, its profit from anns sales, its tteatment of women and developing nations, its relationship with the U.S. The second part of the book's message is that Canadians cao do something to halt the anns race. The reader is advised, however, to put little hope in politicians or superpower summits. Again, we should look closer to home, at ourselves, our involvenient in efforts for peace. The book has two sections: "An International Perspective on the Peace Movement" and "Organizing for Peace." The first section places Canadian involvement in the anns race into a global context and deals with sorne of the larger issues: Canada's role in NATO and its relationship to the U.S., disarmament movements in Europe, the Third World and supeIpOwer politics, the need for a non-aligned peace movement, and that perennial question, "What about the Russians?" 334 Book Reviews The second section describes specific examples of what the Editors calI "detente from below"; that is, a grassroots movement of ordinary people committed to breaking the cycles of power and paranoïa which keep all of us locked in the arms race.

  • Canada's Response to the 1968 Soviet Invasion of Czechoslovakia
    Canada’s Response to the 1968 Soviet Invasion of Czechoslovakia: An Assessment of the Trudeau Government’s First International Crisis by Angus McCabe A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2019 Angus McCabe ii Abstract The new government of Pierre Trudeau was faced with an international crisis when, on 20 August 1968, the Soviet Union invaded Czechoslovakia. This study is the first full account of the Canadian government’s response based on an examination of the archival records of the Departments of External Affairs, National Defence, Manpower and Immigration, and the Privy Council Office. Underlying the government’s reaction were differences of opinion about Canada’s approach to the Cold War, its role at the United Nations and in NATO, the utility of the Department of External Affairs, and decisions about refugees. There was a delusory quality to each of these perspectives. In the end, an inexperienced government failed to heed some of the more competent advice it received concerning how best to meet Canada’s interests during the crisis. National interest was an understandable objective, but in this case, it was pursued at Czechoslovakia’s expense. iii Acknowledgements As anyone in my position would attest, meaningful work with Professor Norman Hillmer brings with it the added gift of friendship. The quality of his teaching, mentorship, and advice is, I suspect, the stuff of ages. I am grateful for the privilege of his guidance and comradeship. Graduate Administrator Joan White works kindly and tirelessly behind the scenes of Carleton University’s Department of History.

  • Escott Reid, Canadian Diplomat
    THE PASSION OF ESCOTT REID: A CANADIAN TEMPLATE FOR MODERN DIPLOMACY? Since the Berlin wall crumbled, on 9th November 1989, we have had 15 years in which to seek the “peace dividend", and the spread of democracy so energetically trumpeted by the victors of the Cold War. While it is true that Latin American dictators may be an endangered species, in too many parts of the world there is a resurgence of ethnic strife and the worst manifestations of nationalism. The only surviving superpower's military spending keeps rising to drive the national debt. The United Nations all too often seems as impotent now as it did in the Security-council veto days of its infancy. The 51 member states in December 1945 have grown steadily to 191 at the end of 2002. Indecision, conflicts of interest and plain apathy can all impede rapid response in a crisis. Well, what about diplomacy? Perhaps we must go back in order to progress, and review the life and times of one of Canada's most eminent diplomats. Today, 21 Prime Ministers and 137 years removed from Confederation, many Canadians may not think that the country has much diplomacy of which to boast. This was certainly not the case in the central decades of the 20th century. Canada had an active foreign service, with some exemplary strategists and negotiators. One such was Escott Meredith Reid, a tenacious worker, who was by turns Rhodes scholar, political researcher, career diplomat, World Bank regional director and the founding principal of Glendon College at York University in Toronto.

  • Ron Dart, Orthodox Tradition and George Grant
    The Canadian Journal of Orthodox Christianity Volume VII, Number 1, Winter 2012 The Orthodox Tradition and Canada’s Most Significant Public Philosopher: George Grant Ron Dart George Grant has been called one of the most important public intellectuals in Canada in the latter half of the 20th century. In his Athens and Jerusalem: George Grant’s Theology, Philosophy and Politics (2006), Graeme Nicholson called him “Canada’s most significant public philosopher” (p. 323). George Parkin Grant had a wide ranging mind and imagination that covered and touched most aspects of the Western and Eastern traditions. Grant was a Christian renaissance humanist in the best sense of that compelling term. The fact that Grant was drawn to the best of the Western theological, philosophical and political tradition meant that he encountered the riches of Orthodoxy in his many probes. This brief essay will touch on Grant’s encounter with Orthodoxy. I will ponder his encounter and engagement with the Orthodox tradition in five unfolding phases. First, Grant’s initial encounter with Orthodoxy was through the marriage of his sister, Alison Grant, to George Ignatieff. Grant had studied with George Ignatieff’s brother, Nicholas, who taught History at Upper Canada College in the 1930s. But the meeting of George Ignatieff and Alison Grant, and their marriage in November 1945 brought Grant into the centre of the Russian Orthodox way as it was embodied in England and Canada in the World War II period. George Ignaitieff had this to say about his Russian Orthodox heritage in his classic book, Memoirs of a Peacemonger: 64 The Canadian Journal of Orthodox Christianity Volume VII, Number 1, Winter 2012 The Orthodox Church gave me a sense of belonging, of being in touch with my roots, of safety and stability in an otherwise confusing world.

Throughout this project, different aspects related to Ignatieff’s various facets shall be studied, since he has worked also as a journalist, offering us a valuable perspective of the most relevant and current issues. I will also analyze the relationship between his diverse journal articles, including the ideas he puts forwards on them, and the work of Asya , evaluating the influence that his familiar inheritance has also had upon his work. Later on, I shall provide a study of two of the most universal themes discussed in literature, love and war, through numerous theories and considering the value they have been gaining along history. The original text will be the base for the most significant quotations to exemplify what has been said previously. Finally, some conclusions are set out to finish with this work in order to synthesise the main ideas developed aforesaid and, above all, exalting this peculiar author.

  • In February 2005, Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin Rejected Canada’S Participation in the Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) System Proposed by U.S
    HerEisendhower, Canada, and Continental Air Defense, 1953–1954 A “Common Appreciation” Eisenhower, Canada, and Continental Air Defense, 1953–1954 ✣ Alexander W. G. Herd In February 2005, Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin rejected Canada’s participation in the ballistic missile defense (BMD) system proposed by U.S. President George W. Bush. Martin’s decision was based on domestic political calculations. He had promised that he would “vigorously” defend Canada’s sovereignty against unilateral U.S. action in Canadian airspace.1 The BMD proposal was not the ªrst time Canada had faced extensive U.S. plans for the missile defense of North America. In the 1980s President Ronald Rea- gan had proposed the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI).2 For many Canadi- ans, the U.S. BMD proposal exempliªed the Canadian-U.S. defense relation- ship formulated during the Cold War: U.S. pressure to coordinate Canadian defense policy with U.S. policy, Canadian concern for territorial sovereignty (particularly in the Canadian Arctic), an economic tug-of-war between U.S. and Canadian businesses, Canadian and U.S. public opinion on the extent of defense cooperation between the two countries, and the Canadian struggle for equal partnership with the United States in continental defense projects. For many scholars, the Canadian-U.S. defense relationship during the Cold War was characterized by Canada’s subordination, necessary or not, to 1.

  • Description and Finding Aid GEORGE IGNATIEFF FONDS F2020
    Description and Finding Aid GEORGE IGNATIEFF FONDS F2020 Prepared by Lynn McIntyre April 2013 GEORGE IGNATIEFF FONDS Dates of creation: [191-?] - 1989 Extent: 9 m of textual records Approximately 770 photographs 5 scrapbooks 24 audiovisual records Biographical sketch: George Ignatieff, diplomat and administrator, was born into a Russian aristocratic family in St. Petersburg in 1913. He was the fifth and youngest son of Count Paul Ignatieff and Natalie Ignatieff (née Princess Mestchersky). After fleeing Russia during the Bolshevik Revolution, the family arrived in England in 1920. By the end of that decade they had relocated to Upper Melbourne, Quebec. George Ignatieff was educated at Lower Canada College, Montreal, and in Toronto at Central Technical School and Jarvis Collegiate. In 1936 he graduated with a BA in Political Science and Economics from Trinity College, and then went to Oxford on a Rhodes Scholarship, completing his MA in Slavic Studies in 1938. At Lester B. Pearson's suggestion, Ignatieff wrote the External Affairs examination in 1939 and began working at Canada House in London. He returned to the Department of External Affairs in Ottawa in 1944. His many postings included: Canadian Ambassador to Yugoslavia (1956-1958), Assistant Undersecretary of State for External Affairs (1960-1962), Permanent Representative to NATO in 1963, and Canadian Ambassador to the UN (1966-1969). In 1972, Ignatieff left the post of Permanent Representative of Canada to the European Office of the UN at Geneva (from 1970) to become ninth Provost and Vice-chancellor of Trinity College, a position he held until 1979. From 1980 to 1986 he was Chancellor of the University of Toronto.
