Over forty years ago, John Holmes argued for the acceptance of some "ambiguity" in the use of the term "middle power," to seek "a logical clarification...would serve only to raise hornets, large, middle, and small." This paper seeks to contribute to the debate concerning middle power by examining middle power as a state of ideas rather than in the usual positional or behavioural terms. It is anticipated that this study will deepen our understanding of the middle power concept by providing an explanation as to its emergence, adoption, and embedment as the ideational framework within which Canada's foreign policy was formulated. The development of the middle power idea from 1941 until the Suez crisis in 1956 is examined.

In this study, we explore the gap between the culture and conduct of paternal involvement with children among Korean middle-class and working-class fathers. Using interview data from thirty-two fathers following a period of national economic crisis, we find that Korean fathers negotiated among three contradictory and often ambiguous sets of cultural expectations: traditional Confucian fatherhood; work success as measure of good fatherhood; and "new" fatherhood that embraces providing and caregiving roles. Family involvement was limited for all fathers, although care for children was most directly shaped by strict or flexible working schedules. Middle class and working class fathers used different strategies to reduce the gap between conflicting cultural expectations for paternal caregiv...
