Book excerpt: The Martin government, too, in the 2004 Speech from the Throne, announced the creation of a Canada Corps, an initiative that seeks to harness the energy and experience of Canadian experts, volunteers, and young professionals for the delivery of international assistance in areas of governance and institution building. [...] In his famous speech of November 2003, on the promotion of freedom and democracy in the Middle East, Bush proclaimed: Are the peoples of the Middle East somehow beyond the reach of liberty? [...] In 1995 the Canadian government tabled its official statement on Canadian foreign policy, Canada in the World, in which it set forth three broad objectives for the country s international relations: • the promotion of prosperity and employment; • the projection of Canadian security within a stable global framework; and • the projection of Canadian values and culture in the world, including respect [...] Rather, it is to suggest that a Canadian-based institution leveraging the international reputation of the Government of Canada could make a considerable contribution to the promotion of democracy abroad; such an Institute could provide the means for addressing policy coherence among the disparate actors in the democracy field. [...] At the Organization of American States (OAS), Ottawa played the lead role in the establishment of the Unit for the Promotion of Democracy, which provides guidance and assistance to member states in strengthening their democratic institutions and processes.40 Through the OAS, Canada also championed the establishment of a Special Fund for Strengthening Democracy, which is designed to assist member s.
Download or read book Do Something written by Preston Manning and published by Sutherland House. This book was released on 2020-02-25 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Democracy in Canada is in deep trouble." Politicians, legislatures and parliament are widely mistrusted. Canadians do not see their issues and concerns reflected in the priorities of the people elected to serve them. The rise of populism is one symptom of a crisis. Others are low voter turnouts and an increasingly vicious public sphere. It is time for Canadians to repair and strengthen their democracy. It is time to Do Something! In this riveting and inspirational book, author and parliamentarian Preston Manning calls on Canadians of all beliefs and allegiances to renew their nation's democracy and the ideas, processes,and institutions that support it. Drawing on a lifetime of public service, he offers 365 practical ways that readers can get involved and make a difference, in their communities, on the national stage, or around the world. "There is an old saying," writes Manning, "that a Canadian optimist is someone who believes things could be worse. But I am an optimist who believes the future can be better if enough of us resolve to make it so."

Book excerpt: "An incisive, elegantly written, new book about America’s unique role in the world." --Tom Friedman, The New York Times A brilliant and visionary argument for America's role as an enforcer of peace and order throughout the world--and what is likely to happen if we withdraw and focus our attention inward. Recent years have brought deeply disturbing developments around the globe. American sentiment seems to be leaning increasingly toward withdrawal in the face of such disarray. In this powerful, urgent essay, Robert Kagan elucidates the reasons why American withdrawal would be the worst possible response, based as it is on a fundamental and dangerous misreading of the world. Like a jungle that keeps growing back after being cut down, the world has always been full of dangerous actors who, left unchecked, possess the desire and ability to make things worse. Kagan makes clear how the "realist" impulse to recognize our limitations and focus on our failures misunderstands the essential role America has played for decades in keeping the world's worst instability in check. A true realism, he argues, is based on the understanding that the historical norm has always been toward chaos--that the jungle will grow back, if we let it.

Download or read book Strengthening Electoral Integrity written by Pippa Norris and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-08-29 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today a general mood of pessimism surrounds Western efforts to strengthen elections and democracy abroad. If elections are often deeply flawed or even broken in many countries around the world, can anything be done to fix them? To counter the prevailing ethos, Pippa Norris presents new evidence for why programs of international electoral assistance work. She evaluates the effectiveness of several practical remedies, including efforts designed to reform electoral laws, strengthen women's representation, build effective electoral management bodies, promote balanced campaign communications, regulate political money, and improve voter registration. Pippa Norris argues that it would be a tragedy to undermine progress by withdrawing from international engagement. Instead, the international community needs to learn the lessons of what works best to strengthen electoral integrity, to focus activities and resources upon the most effective programs, and to innovate after a quarter century of efforts to strengthen electoral integrity.
