China's Vulnerability Paradox
"In the summer of 2022, the Chinese government announced the creation of a $3 Billion state-owned iron ore giant, the China Mineral Resources Group, whose mission is to manage the multifaceted undertakings of iron ore imports, processing and trading, as well as overseas investments. This was an extraordinary announcement and in many ways the culmination of at least fifteen years of frustrations on behalf of leading Chinese iron ore market stakeholders. There is something paradoxical about China's relationship with and impact on global commodity markets. On one hand, within a very short period of time, China emerged from being an almost complete outsider to becoming the principal player in most commodity markets"--
Canada is Not Back

Quantum Social Theory for Critical International Relations Theorists
This book examines the crossroads of quantum and critical approaches to International Relations and argues that these approaches share a common project of uncovering complexity and uncertainty. The “quantum turn” in International Relations theory has produced a number of interesting insights into the complex ways in which our assumptions about the physics of the world around us can limit our understanding of social life. While critique is possible within a Newtonian social science, core assumptions of separability and determinism of classical physics impose limits on what is imaginable. The author argues that by adopting a quantum imaginary, social theory can move beyond its Newtonian limits, and explore two methods for quantizing conceptual models—translation and application. This book is the first introductory book to quantum social theory ideas specifically intended for an audience of critical International Relations.
China and Its New Place in the World
"On 8-9 September 2009 and in partnership with the International Development Research Centre, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) hosted a two-day conference on China. The event ... pursued three objectives: to continue to foster a community of interest on China in Ottawa, to improve the participants' understanding of the country's influence in the world, and to explore some of the future courses the People's Republic of China (PRC) may take in the next five years"--page 5.
