Rethinking Canadian Aid
This book contributes to a “rethinking” Canadian aid at four different levels. First, it undertakes a collective rethinking of the foundations of Canadian aid, including both its normative underpinnings – an altruistic desire to reduce poverty and inequality and achieve greater social justice, a means to achieve commercial or strategic self-interest, or a projection of Canadian values and prestige onto the world stage – and aid’s past record. Second, it analyzes how the Canadian government government is itself rethinking Canadian aid, including greater focus on the Americas and specific themes (such as mothers, children and youth, and fragile states) and countries, increased involv...
The Harper Era in Canadian Foreign Policy
“Canada’s back” announced the victorious Liberal Party in October 2015. After almost ten years of Conservative Party rule, the Harper era in Canadian foreign policy was over, suggesting a return to the priorities of gentler, more cooperative Liberal governments. But was the Harper era really so different? And if so, why? This comprehensive analysis of Canada’s foreign policy during the Harper years addresses these very questions. The chapters, written by leading scholars and analysts of Canadian politics, provide an excellent overview of foreign policy in a number of different policy areas. They also offer differing interpretations as to whether the transition from a minority to majority government in 2011 shaped the way that the Harper Conservatives conceived of, developed, and implemented international policy. The analysis is gripping and the findings surprising, particularly the contention that the government’s shift to majority status was far less important to foreign policy under Harper than it had been under previous governments. The reasons why reveal important insights into the Harper decade of foreign policy.
Risk and the Security-Development Nexus
‘In this comprehensive and wide-ranging analysis, McConnon demonstrates the extent to which security concerns have come to pervade the development policies of the three major donor countries.’ —Rita Abrahamsen, University of Ottawa, Canada ‘An original and compelling analysis of the security-development nexus of three donor countries here combined with a closer look at how their policies play out in two recipient countries, Kenya and Ethiopia, which are actually more representative than the usual high-profile cases of Afghanistan and Iraq. McConnon’s application of the risk-management lens is theoretically innovative and insightful. A most welcome contribution to the growing litera...

Les relations publiques dans une société en mouvance - 4e édition
Les relations publiques sont omniprésentes dans la société et contribuent à l’établissement de communications qui structurent l’espace public. Ces communications favorisent l’émergence d’une participation citoyenne et d’un engagement organisationnel qui orientent l’évolution des enjeux de société auxquels nous sommes confrontés quotidiennement. Une mutation de la communication, de plus en plus interactive, permet aux citoyens et aux organisations de prendre davantage en charge l’expression de leurs opinions dans un espace médiatique redéfini par l’essor des médias sociaux. Dans ce contexte, le rôle des relations publiques s’inscrit dans une mouvance de disposi...

Les sciences sociales au Canada
This document describes the scope of the social sciences in Canada by examining how they are practically applied to the activities of major institutions such as government, business, and organized labour, as well as their place in the voluntary sector of society. It also considers the influence that other disciplines such as geography, history, law, and psychology have had on the social sciences. Finally, it examines how this discipline is stimulating the intellectual community into a new and revitalized understanding of one of the most important national resources in the country.
