    The Case for G8 Reform John Kirton Director, G8 Research Group, University of Toronto [email protected] Chuo University June 26, 2008 Lecture delivered at Chuo University, Tokyo, Japan, June 26, 2008. I gratefully acknowledge the research assistance of Jenilee Guebert and other members of the G8 Research Group. Version of June 29, 2008. Introduction Calls for reform of the Group of Eight (G8) have now reached a new peak in the policy, political, public and scholarly worlds (Hajnal 2007b). But the resulting debate still features the familiar faults of the past 34 years. Reform proposals are advanced on the basis of political slogans or personal self-interest with little logic or evidence to back them up. Favourite criticisms flourish, such as the G8’s alleged loss of effectiveness and legitimacy because it now lacks the commanding global power it once had and the broad geographic representativeness needed in today’s changing world. Familiar reform proposals, such as the G8’s need for a secretariat and council of ministers, are borrowed with little thought from very different institutions such as the European Union (EU) or deduced from liberal institutionalist assumptions that more legalized formality is a good thing. Reform proposals are offered at random, in shotgun fashion, without consideration of how they would fit with and alter the many other components of the complex, interconnected and quite coherent G8 system as a whole. Almost never are reform proposals accompanied by any logical or empirical analysis showing that the proposed changes — often already instituted in some form during the G8’s past three and a half decades — would actually cause the enhanced performance that the advocate wants.

  • Book of Ceremonies
    Book of Ceremonies Girl Scouts – Diamonds of Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas 11311 Arcade Dr., Little Rock, AR 72212 800-632-6894 www.girlscoutsdiamonds.org Ceremonies A Girl Scout Tradition From the earliest times, women, men and children have held ceremonies to celebrate numerous events such as changes of seasons, births, victories, or deaths. In modern times, it is often our ceremonies and traditions that bind us together as a family or group. Ceremonies can bring meaning to life experiences and offer a means of self- expression. Girl Scouts also have ceremonies to mark special events throughout the year. Like other ceremonies, Girl Scout ceremonies can be planned on a grand scale to celebrate major transitions (such as awards, bridging, investitures, and end-of-year activities). Or they can be planned on a smaller scale to celebrate more frequent occurrences (such as the beginning or ending of a meeting, a campout, friendship, etc.). From the very beginning, Girl Scout ceremonies have been observed to reinforce values, pass on traditions and give life to the beliefs set down in the Promise and Law by highlighting accomplishments that illustrate a Girl Scout belief. Ceremonies also reinforce the Girl Scout heritage by reminding us of the contributions made by the women who nurtured the movement in its infancy and began so many of its traditions. These special rituals form a framework for today’s actions and provide inspiration for the future. The rich Girl Scout heritage of strong traditional values should be cherished and preserved. Many of the unique characteristics of our program are passed on from generation to generation-through beautiful and precious ceremonies.

There are lots of human rights treaties that give rights to children. All human rights treaties apply as equally to children as they do to adults. But because children are still growing up, they need special protection from their rights being ignored.
