While drawn from different backgrounds, they all shared one thing in common: deep interest or expertise in Pakistan. The next two days were spent discussing the factors that had contributed to the South Asian country being named one of the most dangerous countries in the world in terms of global stability. The participants also laid out possible scenarios for Pakistan's future. The main ideas were captured in a report that would support "the Embassy Photo: Lee Berthiaume development of an informal community of interest on Pakistan's Pakistan High Commissioner Akbar Zeb says his security within the government of Canada." country wants the Canadian government to start working on a free trade agreement with his country, Yet noticeably absent from the report were any policy suggestions for increase aid and lift arms trading restrictions. Canada, whose own interest in Afghanistan's nuclear-armed neighbour cannot be understated. In fact, the only real mention of Canada came in explaining the implications Pakistan's deteriorating security situation would have on Canada. Eight years after 9/11 put Pakistan on the front lines of the global war on terror, critics say the government has failed to fully grasp the need for a comprehensive policy towards the country.

  • Canadian Foreign Policy? Do You Think This Reform Would Be Politically “Difficult” Or “Easy”? How/Why?
    POLI 3569 ONLINE-ONLY VERSION, WINTER 2021 Professor Brian Bow ([email protected]) UPDATED JANUARY 10 The purpose of this course is to provide a basic overview of Canada’s political and diplomatic relations with the rest of the world. There will be some attention to specific policy questions here and there, but most of the course is organized around “bigger” debates about how to think about how Canada fits into the world, what it can and should try to accomplish, and who gets to make those choices. The first part of the course—Module 1, below—lays out the conventional history of Canada’s foreign relations, emphasizing the way that past developments shape current and future decisions. Module 2 looks at a variety of different critiques of this conventional view (realist, neomarxist, feminist, postcolonial, etc.), to try to give you a sense of the main theoretical debates. Module 3 shifts the focus to the political structures of foreign policy decision-making in Canada (e.g., parliament, bureaucracy, provinces, etc.). And Module 4 wraps things up by connecting the previous debates to some difficult foreign policy choices facing Canada today (e.g., relations with China, climate change, trade, arms exports, etc.). Basic format of the course As with almost all Dalhousie courses this year, POLI 3569 for Winter 2021 is going to be online only. Most parts of the course are asynchronous (i.e., students engage with the course material on their own time, within weekly sections); however, unlike some other courses, POLI 3569 provides a choice between synchronous and asynchronous options for some course components.

  • Multilateralism and Unilateralism: the Way Forward
    Part I Multilateralism as a Guiding Principle for the Future of Global Order Multilateralism and Unilateralism: The Way Forward Makmur Widodo “Might is Right” or “Right is Might”? he topic for this paper is one of the contemporary T international issues under debate and is indeed com- plex. This paper concerns multilateralism and unilateralism, with a view to achieving a better understanding for the fu- ture. As I often encounter, many have questioned the im- portance, as well as relevance, of multilateralism in dealing with global problems. Why do states choose to act alone? Has the world become a more dangerous place and reverted to the dark ages where “might is right”, or could “right is might” prevail? Let me begin the discussion by presenting several prin- ciples associated with the topic. First of all, multilateralism champions the United Nations (UN) as having the central role in dealing with international problems as well as in find- ing solutions. Multilateralism means international affairs à la charte, centre-piecing the UN Charter, based on its prin- ciples and purposes. 3 Makmur Widodo Secondly, multilateralism empowers international law, legality, legitimacy and authority, as well as the primacy of compliance and facts, as its instruments of choice when deal- ing with global issues. Actors in international affairs utilise adroit diplomacy, dialogue, cooperation and partnership, within the spirit of shared responsibility, in efforts to main- tain international peace and security. The United States, through its initiatives and inspira- tional leaders, gave the world the League of Nations and the United Nations respectively following the end of the two devastating world wars of the past century.

    What should Canada be doing (and not doing) in ASEAN and Asia? by Randolph Mank A POLICYAugust PAPER, 2016 2016 POLICY REVIEW SERIES What should Canada be doing (and not doing) in ASEAN and Asia? by Randolph Mank CGAI Fellow August, 2016 This essay is one in a series commissioned by Canadian Global Affairs Institute in the context of defence, security and assistance reviews by the Trudeau Government. The views expressed are those of the author and not CGAI. As a Canada Revenue Agency approved charitable organization, CGAI has no ‘views’ but rather acts as a platform and forum for intelligent discussion of Canadian global affairs policy. Prepared for the Canadian Global Affairs Institute 1600, 530 – 8th Avenue S.W., Calgary, AB T2P 3S8 www.cgai.ca ©2016 Canadian Global Affairs Institute ISBN: 978-1-927573-95-2 What should Canada be doing (and not doing) in ASEAN and Asia? n arguing the case for doing more in Asia it is useful to consider the broader foreign policy context, and to suggest practical measures that would advance real Canadian interests. I This paper attempts to do both. CANADA’S LARGER PRIORITIES Looking at Canada’s broad foreign policy interests, its number one geographic priority should always be maintaining and strengthening relations with the United States, with which it has irreplaceable economic and security ties. Geography is destiny and investing significant resources in the continental relationship is a constant imperative. Arguably, a second geographic priority should be managing the challenges to territorial sovereignty in the Arctic. With increased global warming, Canada needs to devote more diplomatic and defence resources to defending its interests in the North.
