The Harper government claims that it is keen to develop a strong policy towards Latin America. Yet it is a flawed approach, supporting US policy at a time when it is at its lowest point in decades, while ignoring both a clear leftward swing of elected Latin American governments in the last five years and the significant importance of Cuba in the region. This paper examines the Harper government's approach to Cuba. Following some general comments on the evolution of Canadian policy towards revolutionary Cuba, it examines some of the errors in the Harper approach, suggests an explanation for the approach employed, and makes suggestions about policies that Ottawa should consider to improve relations. In sports terms, Cuba "punches above its weight"-a fact which is known widely in Latin Ame...

China has experienced pressing energy shortages in recent years, and Beijing has intensified its efforts to secure China's energy supply through both increased domestic production and external expansion. In this paper, I first analyze China's global quest for energy by looking at the correlation between China's economic growth and its energy security concerns. I then examine the implications of China's "go-out" strategy through two sets of case studies. I argue that China's global search for energy is primarily driven by its rapid economic growth, out of insecurity rather than a master plan to dominate the world, and that China's energy security issues have multiple implications beyond simple economic concerns. Finally, I recommend a forward-looking engagement policy to be adapted by Ca...

Among many other aspects, there are two basic time dimensions that need to be considered: the historical evolution of family structures associated with modernization and their individual development paths in different social classes and the evolution of a given family throughout time as it passes through a family life-cycle, addressing the fluidity of family structures and changes taking place on them (ranging, for example, from consensual unions through marriage and divorce to "blended families")3. Classic paradigms of sociological studies have stressed the family's central role in the functioning of society - either invoking a structural-functionalist tradition that relates family issues to the stability of institutions and ultimately society itself; or from the Marxist perspective t...
