Canada has 28 soldiers deployed in the Sinai. Aside from Afghanistan, it has been Canada's largest overseas military commitment since nearly 200 Canadian UN peacekeepers withdrew from the Golan Heights between Israel and Syria 14 months ago. There are 33 Canadian peacekeepers in Sudan, but they are split between two different UN missions.
The desert region between Egypt and Israel, which is sparsely populated by Bedouin nomads and is well known for its ferociously hot climate, has frequently been a military flashpoint. An army led by Israel's Moshe Dayan defeated an Egyptian army there in 1956. Another Israeli army occupied the Sinai after defeating Egyptian troops...

At the beginning of [Mitchell]'s talks in Jerusalem, Ramallah, Amman, Cairo and Syria it became clear to all concerned that Israel will make no more "gestures" to the Palestinians. In a meeting with Norway's visiting foreign minister, Israeli President Shimon Peres said that the chairman of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas, had complained to him that the "Americans have put me at the top of the tree, but they took away the ladder." [Benjamin Netanyahu] told Mitchell that each time that Israel makes a gesture to the Palestinians, "Abbas climbs even higher the tree of exaggerated expectations.
In his discussions with Mitchell last week, Abbas insisted on a total freeze on settlements in East Jerusalem, "as long as the negotiations go on." Alternatively, Abbas suggested to Mitchel...

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.

Peacekeeping has a place of pride in the Canadian national identity. Canadians feel that their nation is a natural leader in this international endeavour. How is this national identity expressed, and howhas it come about? Is it justified? An answer to these questions requires a probe of Canadian public and military attitudes, a historical review of Canada's peacekeeping activities, and an examination of current Canadian contributions. The final question is: What is needed if Canada is to live up to the image of the proud and prolific peacekeeper?

This paper investigates levels of adaptation and standardisation in international marketing tactics, and examines whether multinational companies are adapting or standardising their marketing mix elements in international markets. It is based on empirical research with some of the largest UK-based multinational companies. The research shows that both adaptation and standardisation are used at the same time within the respondent group. Levels of integration are dependent upon consideration of the relationship between the rationale for internationalisation and elements identified, and an understanding of how these are affected by a number of factors (one of them being Entry Methods, the factor under consideration here).
