The Canadian Department of Peace: History and Potential
The Canadian Department of Peace: History and Potential by Victor David Kliewer A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of the University of Manitoba in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements of the Degree MASTER OF ARTS Joint Master’s Program in Peace and Conflict Studies University of Manitoba/University of Winnipeg Winnipeg MB Copyright © 2019 by Victor David Kliewer ii ABSTRACT This thesis examines the possibility of establishing a Department of Peace (DOP) as a Department of the Government of Canada. The topic has been introduced in Parliament twice— in 2009 as Bill C-447 and in 2011 as Bill C-373; neither Bill received any further action beyond the First Reading. The introduction of the bills could only happen on the basis of significant support among Canadians. At present, in 2019, efforts to reintroduce the DOP into the Government, although somewhat muted, continue; and the concern for peace—including all of its diverse aspects, both within Canada and around the world—remains as urgent as ever. The thesis, based on relevant literature and oral interviews, evaluates the establishment of a DOP in the context of the Canadian peace tradition as well as other global peace developments. It concludes that a DOP has great potential to move the peace agenda in Canada forward but that, in view of the priorities of the current government and the general mood in Canadian society, it is not realistic to expect a DOP to be implemented at present. The recent appointment of the Women, Peace and Security Ambassador in December 2018 represents a step in this direction, but a fully structured DOP would provide a more significant framework for the advancement of peace, defined in the preamble of Bill C-373 as “not simply the absence of active hostilities but rather a state of non-violence, harmony, and amity.” iii Someday, after harnessing the ether, the winds, the tides, and gravitation, we shall harness for God the energies of love; and then, for the second time in the history of the world, [we] will have discovered fire. -

En tant que acteur des relations internationales, il a eu une diplomatie dynamique influencée par l’héritage colonial, les contingences historiques et le quotient personnel de ses fils au rang desquels figure en bonne place William Éteki Mboumoua. Ce dernier qui succède à son compatriote Joseph Nzo Ekangaki à la tête de l’OUA en 1974, contribua grandement au développement et au rayonnement de l’institution panafricaine dans un contexte où le Cameroun déployait, sous la houlette de son chef de l’Etat Ahmadou Ahidjo, une diplomatie de présence et d’affirmation. Cette réflexion, qui s’adosse sur la biographie de William Éteki Mboumoua, montre la contribution d’un acteur de l’histoire à l’émergence de la diplomatie camerounaise et à la vitalité diplomatique de l’OUA. Grand commis de l’Etat, Éteki Mboumoua laissa une marque indélébile dans l’histoire de l’OUA. Fin négociateur, ce camerounais a œuvré pour la promotion économique du potentiel africain et pour la diplomatie culturelle en Afrique. Il fit montre de grandes qualités humaines et professionnelles tout au long de son mandat à la tête du secrétariat général de l’organisation panafricaine. Il quitta son poste en 1978, non sans regrets, pour regagner son pays et occuper le poste de conseiller diplomatique à la présidence de la république. -
