Yet reports on the lack of coherence in international studies curricula, (Ishiyama and Breuning 2004; Brown, Pegg and Shively 2006) the parochialism of international relations teaching in the United States, (Alker and Biersteker 1984) or the issues left largely unaddressed in US international affairs courses, (Murphy 2001) speak of the extent to which educators do have a decisive (if not always welcome) impact in defining the nature of international affairs and foreign policy for their students. Through a survey of Canadian university calendars online, 50 political science or international affairs courses dealing with a subject matter specifically related to the general field of Canadian foreign policy were identified.\n While six English-language outlines raise the question of societa...

This analysis suggests that traditional approaches to development assistance are too narrowly confined by the logic of social engineering, centered almost exclusively on the material growth factors and depreciative of cultural variables. Reconceptualizing development assistance as an ideational process sheds light on the crucial role of collective intentionality and cultural varieties in determining success or failure of specific aid projects and programs that are designed to produce sustainable change in developing societies. Such reconceptualization calls for greater donor sensitivity to the socio-cultural landscape within developing societies, as well as for a greater recipient voice and responsibility in designing and implementing assistance projects and programs.

There is a strong series of documentation that demonstrates the success and best practices of First Nations' administration in the delivery of post-secondary funding," he said, citing such studies as Focusing Indian and Northern Affairs Canada's Post Secondary Education Program: Targets and Impacts (2009 report for the Assembly of First Nations) and No Higher Priority: Aboriginal Post-Secondary Education in Canada, a report of the Standing Committee on Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development (2007).
In releasing Free to Learn, Brian Lee Crowley, managing director of the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, said: "Aboriginal policy in Canada is a shameful mess. It is expensive, unaccountable and too often fails those it's meant to help. Existing federal aid to Aboriginal post-secondary educ...

The more important omission is any recognition of the efforts of legal aid Manitoba to discourage private bar lawyers from taking on clients. Under Gerry McNeilly's tutelage, legal aid has instituted a policy to deny choice of counsel to clients who can be streamed into the "corroborative law" program, or, with a few exceptions, are respondents in child welfare proceedings. What this means is that, if a person wishing to obtain custody and child support, for example, contacts and wishes to retain me, and I send in an application to legal aid, the latter will hand the file to one of their own lawyers! Ditto, child welfare applications. If McNeilly is looking to reduce the number of lawyers willing to take on legal aid cases, he's going about it the right way.
