Relaying quality
Incorporating experiential quality improvement (QI) into graduate medical education remains challenging despite its recognised importance and requirement by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME).One in four surgical residents reported not participating in QI on the most recent Clinical Learning Environment (CLER) Report. 1 Previously, our residency attempted experiential QI through small-group, resident-led QI initiativ…
In search of a US grand strategy
Renewing America’s Infrastructure
Federal infrastructure investment is receiving a great deal of attention, largely about money: how to finance capital investment, operations, and maintenance. Less discussed but very important is modernizing federal policy to support the mature and urban-centered economy of the United States—rather than the economy it had when most of the terms of federal engagement were set. This article summarizes a RAND Corporation report which addresses recen…
Beyond the three ‘isms’
Media and neoliberal hegemony
This article presents findings from a media analysis of mainstream newspaper coverage of the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPP). We conducted a broad search of articles published from January 2010 through to June 2014 in the major English-language Canadian daily newspapers, analyzing a total of 404 articles. We found limited substantive discussions about this comprehensive trade and investment treaty, and explain this lack of attention to …
Regional threats and global management of conflicts in regions
Contrasting Explanations for Peace
This article focuses on a fourfold distinction among international relations approaches to security and peace (offensive realism, defensive realism, defensive liberalism and offensive liberalism), which is applied to understand differing regional dynamics of conflict resolution, particularly in two key regions: Europe and the Middle East. The shift from realist to liberal assumptions, it is argued here, is the foundation for conflict resolution. …
Explaining Changes in U.S. Grand Strategy
This paper proposes a model for explaining shifts and variations in U.S. grand strategy. The model is based on a distinction between four ideal-type grand strategies or ideational approaches to security according to the objectives and means of security policy: defensive and offensive realism, and defensive and offensive liberalism. While the four approaches are continually present in the U.S. policy community, it is the combination of two systemi…
Balance of Power or the State-to-Nation Balance
The Middle East is one of the most war-prone regions in the international system. What is the most powerful explanation of the war-propensity of this region? I argue that neither realism nor liberalism are able to account for variations in regional war-proneness. Instead, I advance an alternative explanation based on the concept of the state-to-nation balance in the region. This balance refers to the degree of congruence between the division of t…
