Figure 2 charts the percentage single males and females by age in Lebanon and in the governorates of Beirut and South Lebanon. In Beirut, at almost all age groups, the percentage single among women and men is higher than in any other governorate. The governorate of Mount Lebanon approximates this situation, though the pattern of postponed marriage is more marked in Beirut, where the percentage single among males exceeds that among females as far as the 40-44 age group. This crossover occurs earlier at ages 35-39 in South Lebanon, which has the lowest percent of women remaining single at ages 40-44. There are more women married at the end of the childbearing years in South Lebanon than in any other governorate. Marriage is almost universal for men, as is also true for the governorates of...

Within weeks of the Indian Ocean Tsunami disaster, Canada and other bilateral donors had issued declarations and mobilized resources in a manner consistent with the Good Humanitarian Donorship (GHD) guidelines. Spearheaded by Canada and other like-minded donors, the GHD initiative set new performance benchmarks and framed humanitarian relief as a global public good. Like other global public goods, humanitarian assistance has been underprovided because of intractable incentive, jurisdiction and participation gaps. The permanence of these gaps, however, was cast in doubt by the actions of Canada and other donors. This article examines the contention that the Indian Ocean relief effort marks a turning point for the beleaguered humanitarian system. The analysis places the government-led res...

The Fragile States Monitoring and Assessment Project is a research endeavour of Country Indicators for Foreign Policy (CIFP), undertaken with support from the Government of Canada through the Canadian international Development Agency (CIDA). Its goal is to provide evidence-based support to government programming decisions in fragile states. The project comprises one part of a whole-of-government response to emerging best practice in fragile states, placing emphasis on understanding the fundamental source(s) of fragility, and on the need for a carefully considered, closely coordinated strategy to address those underlying concerns.

Through an analysis of the text in the five documents released in the April 2005 Canadian International Policy Statement (IPS) this article argues that a significant problem in Canadian foreign policy formulation is an obsession with the United States. Just as Frantz Fanon argued that the colonized could never be free until they accepted the influence of the colonizer, this article suggests that the Canadian foreign policy-making establishment and the wider public struggle with hybridity and the importance of the bilateral relationship with the United States. Sustained efforts at differentiating Canada from the United States in the foreign policy field point to an intrinsic problem of identity. Despite the profound importance of the United States to a whole range of Canadian policies, t...
