    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.

  • 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in the Context of Anglo-Almerican Systems* Patricia Lee Sykes American University Washington DC [email protected] *Not for citation without permission of the author.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.
