  • WINTER 2013 / SPRING 2014 CUPP in Third Decade CUPP 2013 NEWSLETTER ISSUE 2
    George Washington has departed p. 58 Importance of CUPP p. 59 In Ukraine, the ideological battle has no timetable. It seems, however, that the clock is working against the youth and NGOs in their efforts to forestall the imposition of a managed democracy. If the ruling clan succeeds in imposing a managed democracy, it will set back for decades the development in Ukraine of a normal civil society governed by the rule of law. And if Ukraine becomes like Russia or if it merges into Russia, Europe and the West will not have a reliable or stable partner in the region for much of the 21st century. It is not beyond a possibility that eventually a war will have to be fought in Europe in order to return to a stable and just society in the eastern half of the continent.

  • 312-11 Harper Years 2014
    The Harper Years Lecture 11: POL 312Y Canadian Foreign Policy Copyright: Professor John Kirton, University of Toronto All rights reserved November 25, 2014 JFK mk Introduction On January 23, 2006, Canadians elected Stephen Harper’s Conservatives with a minority government of 124 seats, compared to 103 for Paul Martin’s Liberals, 51 for the separatist Bloc Québécois, and 29 for the New Democratic Party (NDP). The 46-year-old Torontonian-turned-Albertan was formally sworn in as Canada’s 22nd prime minister on February 6. A debate immediately arose about what Canadian foreign policy would now be (Kirton 2006, 2007). After Harper won a second, stronger minority government of 143 seats on October 14, 2008 and then a majority government of 166 seats on May 8, 2011, the debate continued, among six major competing schools of thought. The Debate The first school pointed, in authentic peripheral dependent (PD) fashion, to “restrained Americanism.” It predicted that Harper would seek a cooperative relationship with the U.S., limited only by Harper’s fragile minority position and absence of ideological partners in Parliament. Janice Stein forecast “greater affinity with U.S. positions internationally,” including a pro-American tilt on relations with the Middle East and the United Nations (McCarthy 2006). Joseph Jockel, Christopher Sands, David Biette, and Dwight Mason thought the tone and ease of the Canada-U.S. relationship would improve, as Harper made good on his defence promises. But they also felt that the Shamrock Summit–like closeness of Brian Mulroney and Ronald Reagan would be avoided, given Harper’s minority position at home (Koring 2006).

  • G7 Leaders Summit 2020: Background Paper on Themes of G7 Leaders Summits (2012-2019)
    G7 Leaders Summit 2020: Background Paper on Themes of G7 Leaders Summits (2012-2019) G7 Commitments at a Glance Gender equality and women’s empowerment are at the heart of the universal 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals, specifically in relation to women’s economic empowerment (WEE). This WEE agenda has evolved through further engagement with governments and other key stakeholders, such as during the 2017 United Nations Commission on the Status of Women, the Secretary-General’s High-Level Panel on Women’s Economic Empowerment, the Group of 20 (G20) and the Group of 7 (G7). The G7 has articulated its WEE position in the G7 Common Principles on Women’s Entrepreneurship (2015 Elmau); G7 Guiding Principles for Building the Capacity of Women and Girls (Ise-Shima 2016); the G7 Roadmap for a Gender-Responsive Economic Environment (Taormina 2017); the Charlevoix G7 Summit Communique (Charlevoix 2018) and Paris Declaration on Gender Equality (Biarritz 2019). The G7 recognizes that women are key drivers of innovation, growth and jobs, and that the private sector plays a vital role in creating an environment in which women can more meaningfully participate in the economy. The group has set concrete targets, such as reducing the gender gap in labour force participation rates by 25% by 2025, and to increase spending on Technical Education and Vocational Training (TVET) by a third by 2030. In the last four years, the G7 countries have committed to: invest in women’s skills development and TVET; facilitate women's labour force participation, career advancement, and work life balance; stimulate women’s entrepreneurship and the growth and sustainability of women-owned businesses; and accelerate the adoption and implementation of the UN Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs).

  • 2012 Religious Leaders' Statement for the G8 and G20 Summits
    2012 Religious Leaders’ Statement for the G8 and G20 Summits We, religious leaders from G8 and G20 Nations, have come together preceding the 2012 G8 and G20 Summits. We come together in a spirit of pluralism, proclaiming peace and equality. In a tumultuous time of violence and economic instability, we come together to proclaim the best of each of our traditions, offering reflections and recommendations to the G8 and G20 leaders. As the 2015 deadline for the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) draws critically nearer, the G8 and G20 meetings are of vital importance for hundreds of millions of lives across the world. They offer the chance to look beyond the current MDGs, to the next generation of inspirational global goals. We are at a juncture where the political, humanitarian, military, and economic decisions of the G8 and G20 countries hold powerful influence over the lives and well-being of an untold multitude. We have come together in Washington D.C., on the eve of the 38th G8 Summit set to meet in Camp David, Maryland, USA. Members of the Baha’i, Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Jain, Jewish, Muslim, Shinto, Sikh, and Zoroastrian communities have joined here to continue the work that has been done by religious leaders for previous “G” summits. Religious leaders have, over the past seven years, met to reflect on the global agendas before leaders of the world's most powerful nations and to offer their insights and hopes for the encounters. Our religious traditions are informed by deeply held and widely shared values to work for freedom, justice, and human rights.
