Book excerpt: The relationship between human rights and Canadian foreign policy has traditionally been a tenuous one. In principle, policy makers express a great deal of support for a foreign policy agenda in which human rights objectives are a key priority. In practice, human rights concerns all-too-often remain on the periphery of the foreign policy agenda, as other key priorities take precedence. Canada continues to address human rights concerns in a case-by-case fashion. Policy makers argue that such an approach is necessary in order to account for the unique circumstances surrounding human rights violations in other nations. Unfortunately, this reliance on an ad hoc approach to human rights protection and promotion has resulted in inconsistent, and often ineffective, policy responses in multilateral and bilateral contexts. In addressing the issue of human rights, this thesis builds upon the tenets of neoliberalism in order to account for the growing interlinkages between states and the need to develop solutions based on cooperation and consensus rather than Cold War notions of power politics and the inviolability of state sovereignty. Through a critical examination of Canada's foreign relations, this thesis asserts that policy makers must incorporate the principles of consistency and coherence into the development of human rights policy. That is not to say that Canada must take a similar course of action in response to violations or threats to certain core rights, but that a threshold point, beyond which action is required, must be established in order to address such challenges.

Download or read book Why Canada Cares written by Andrew Lui and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2012-05-01 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Support for international human rights has become an entrenched part of Canada's national mythology. Despite the gravity of human rights issues and how Canada appears to champion various causes, the role of human rights in Canadian foreign policy has received surprisingly little scrutiny. In Why Canada Cares, Andrew Lui brings clarity to this under-explored part of Canada's identity. Lui provides a chronological and theoretically grounded analysis of human rights in Canadian foreign policy since 1945. He argues that while the country has rarely proven willing to sacrifice material advantage for international human rights causes, Canada has pursued human rights as part of a broader attempt to cement individual rights as the cornerstone of Canadian federalism and aimed to mitigate friction between the country's diverse social groups. In other words, international human rights were implemented as a way to express and establish an expansive vision of what Canadian society should look like in order to survive and flourish as a coherent and unified political entity. The first comprehensive, single-authored book on the topic, Why Canada Cares uncovers the foundations of Canada's international human rights policies and offers insight into their possibilities and limits.

Download or read book Human Rights in Canadian Foreign Policy written by R. Matthews and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 1988-10-01 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The pattern revealed is one of deliberate ambiguity. On some issues and in some forums, Canada has acted vigorously to promote human rights internationally, as in the United Nations Human Rights Commission, the United Nations Committee on Human Rights, and the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe. Canada has been much less forceful about human rights in dealings with the International Labour Organization and has almost completely ignored this issue as it relates to international financial institutions. Canada has been outspoken about the violation of rights in countries ruled by communist regimes, while hesitation and ambiguity are a feature of Canadian policies toward South Africa and Central America, as well as in lending policies to international financial institutions, Canadian development assistance, and Canadian arms sales. Each of these areas is examined in Human Rights in Canadian Foreign Policy. Canada is most vigorous on issues of human rights when the rights in question are civil and political rather than economic and social, and when the offending regime is under Soviet rather than American influence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together diverse perspectives from the newest generation of scholars from Canada and China to better understand China in the 21st century.

Importantly, the perspectives are from young authors, with a different relationship to China (and Canada) than more established authors. This compilation helps breathe new life into the study of Sino-Canada relations from both countries, and to reassess and re-frame issues related to China in the 21st century.
