Download or read book Rethinking Canadian Aid written by Stephen brown and published by University of Ottawa Press. This book was released on 2016-06-09 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 involvement of the private sector (particularly Canadian mining companies), and greater emphasis on self-interest. Third, it rethinks where Canadian aid is or should be heading, including recommendations for improved development assistance. Fourth, it highlights how serious rethinking is required on aid itself: the concept, its relation to non-aid policies that affect development in the Global South, and the rise of new providers of development assistance, especially “emerging economies”. Each of these novel challenges holds important implications for Canada, for its development policies and for its declining influence in the morphing global aid regime.
Download or read book Equality Governance via Policy Analysis written by Arn T. Sauer and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2018-11-30 with total page 569 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gender impact assessment has been both celebrated as a beacon of hope for the cause of gender equality and criticised as being ineffectual. More than 20 years of gender mainstreaming have demonstrated that equality governance with and through impact assessment is an intersectional and still evolving process. Arn T. Sauer's study examines the instruments of gendered policy analysis and the conditions under which they are being used by the Canadian federal government and the European Commission. Interviews with experts from public administration and instrument designers as well as document analyses reveal benefits and challenges and show that the success of equality governance depends upon whether knowledge about gendered policy and appropriate administrative practices are embedded, embodied and entrenched in public administration.
Download or read book Unsettled Balance written by Rosalind Warner and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2015-04-15 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 9/11, the wars on terror, economic crises, climate change, and humanitarian emergencies have forced decision makers to institute new measures to maintain security. Foreign policy analysts tend to view these decisions as being divorced from ethics, but Unsettled Balance shows that arguments about rights, obligations, norms, and values have played a profound role in Canadian foreign policy and international relations since the 1990s. The contributors to this volume examine a range of topics – from funding for climate change adaptation to the militarization of humanitarian aid – to collectively explore three key questions. What is the meaning of “ethics” and “security,” and how are they linked? To what extent have considerations of ethics and security changed in the twenty-first century? And what are the implications of a shifting historical context for Canada’s international relations? Their conclusions are essential reading for anyone who wants to understand not only how Canada responds to global challenges but also why it responds the way it does.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 5 Tools and tips from the UN and the DAC In addition to the commitments CIDA has made to GE in its 1999 Policy on Gender Equality and other tools, the GoC has made commitments to enhancing GE in development programming through the United Nations and the OECD DAC. [...] CIDA's gender equality policies and frameworks, and the insights and guidelines developed by the UN and the DAC provide helpful tools for integrating GE into policy development, programming and learning in fragile states. [...] • CIDA and other DAC members have acknowledged the importance of engaging stakeholders concerned with GE at key moments in the design, implementation and assessment stages of development programming in fragile states and building the capacity of agents and mechanisms of change at the local, national, regional and international levels. [...] CIDA can start by working to develop a consensus among the DAC Fragile States Group, and other DAC members and development partners of the gender dimensions of state fragility and the importance of promoting GE in policy and programming in fragile states. [...] The tendency to revert to "woman as victim" or "woman as mother" models of gender relations may also undermine the work to date of development and other actors to promote the human rights of women and girls, to secure their access to and control over resources and to support their role as decision-makers.
Download or read book Exporting Good Governance written by Jennifer Welsh and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 2007-10-26 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can good governance be exported? International development assistance is more frequently being applied to strengthening governance in developing countries, and in Exporting Good Governance: Temptations and Challenges in Canada’s Aid Program, the editors bring together diverse perspectives to investigate whether aid for good governance works. The first section of the book outlines the changing face of international development assistance and ideas of good governance. The second section analyzes six nations: three are countries to which Canada has devoted a significant portion of its aid efforts over the past five to ten years: Ghana, Vietnam, and Bangladesh. Two are newer and more complex “fragile states,” where Canada has engaged: Haiti and Afghanistan. These five are then compared with Mauritius, which has enjoyed relatively good governance. The final section looks at challenges and new directions for Canadas development policy. Co-published with the Centre for International Governance Innovation
Download or read book Obligations and Omissions written by Rebecca Tiessen and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2017-06-12 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On issues pertaining to women and girls, Stephen Harper’s federal government positioned Canada as a “beacon of light” in the world. Programs were developed in relation to women’s maternal health and the protection of the girl child, but other actions point to an ambiguous and even contradictory approach that failed to address gender inequality. In Obligations and Omissions, contributors examine Canada’s equivocal – and diminished – role in working toward gender equality in the period between 2006 and 2015. Using a critical feminist lens to document, analyze, and challenge Canada’s relations with the Global South, chapters explore the extent to which matters of gender equality have been erased or exploited under the Harper government and the factors that explain these policy shifts. While the contributors document successes in Canada’s approach to some issues facing women and girls around the world, they also show many problems with the ways that agenda was framed and implemented under the Conservative government.. Drawing on rich theoretical investigation, empirical research, and discourse analysis, Obligations and Omissions reveals a complex picture of diverse practices, underscoring the implications of these actions for communities in the Global South, for Canada’s image in the international community, and for future governments in the pursuit of a renewed gender equality strategy.

Download or read book Equality Denied written by Swati Bisht and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2024-02-13 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Equality Denied: Exploring Persistent Gender Inequality" is a comprehensive examination of the complex and pervasive issue of gender inequality. From its historical roots to its contemporary manifestations, the book delves deep into the various dimensions of gender inequality, exploring its socio-economic, political, educational, health, and cultural implications. Through a critical lens, it elucidates how gender inequality intersects with other axes of oppression, such as race, class, sexuality, and disability, exacerbating disparities and hindering progress towards gender equality. The book not only highlights the challenges faced by marginalized groups but also celebrates the resilience, solidarity, and collective action efforts that are driving social change. It emphasizes the importance of centering marginalized voices, fostering intersectional approaches, and advocating for inclusive policies and practices to address the root causes of gender inequality. Grassroots initiatives, community-based interventions, and collective action efforts are showcased as powerful tools for challenging oppressive systems and promoting social change. Through education, advocacy, and support services, marginalized communities are empowered to assert their rights and demand justice. Ultimately, "Equality Denied" calls for a renewed commitment to advancing gender equality as a fundamental human right. It challenges readers to confront their own privilege, engage in allyship, and work towards creating a more equitable and just society for all individuals, regardless of their gender identity or intersecting identities. With its insightful analysis and compelling call to action, the book serves as a vital resource for scholars, activists, policymakers, and anyone committed to building a world where equality is not just a dream but a reality.
