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...

Ignoring the fact that the previous policy may have been ineffective, or just plain wrong in the context of Hamas's and Hezbollah's refusal to recognize Israel's right to exist and embracing terror as a primary tactic to bring about the destruction of the Jewish state, [Lloyd Axworthy] went on to suggest, gratuitously, that changes in Canadian foreign policy had been influenced by "groups of diaspora" -- various ethnic communities in today's multicultural society, as if this was something inappropriate, or even evil.
There is also the reality that foreign policy-making is now a product of much more diverse interests and competing pressures than the halcyon days when a small elite group of foreign service specialists could define our place in the world," he wrote in yesterday's Free Pre...

Canadian policy makers have repeatedly emphasized improving relations with Brazil as a strategic objective in the Americas. Given past failures to cooperate, this objective may be difficult to realize. We argue that one of the reasons for this unrealized relationship between Canada and Brazil within hemispheric institutions is different national approaches to the role and purpose of multilateralism. This argument is advanced through an analysis of national interpretations of each country's engagement with multilateralism, drawing on the local literatures. The paper concludes with a discussion of the prospects and limits of future multilateral cooperation between the two countries, drawing on examples from the Inter-American System.
