Celebrating Greg Donaghy
Three colleagues pay tribute to Greg Donaghy, who at the time of his death on 1 July 2020 was the co-editor of International Journal and Director of the Bill Graham Centre for Contemporary International History at the University of Toronto. Dr Donaghy’s imaginative international history expanded the canvas of Canadian foreign policy beyond the traditional limits of the North Atlantic Triangle. As an author, editor, and mentor, he redefined the wa…

The Tragedies of Canadian International History: A Comment
Diplomatic history in Canada and in North America has faced serious challenges to its methodology and popularity. Although International Relations has become one of the most attractive fields for undergraduates, it has become increasingly linked to the discipline of Political Science and distant from History. Historians understand the need to reinvigorate what once was called diplomatic history and the emphasis on transnational history reflects t…
Are There Lessons to Be Drawn from the “Lessons of History”
Editor's note: having elected to step down as editor of the lessons of history series after three rewarding years, I asked the esteemed Canadian historian John English to close my editorial contribution to the series by reflecting on the essays that have appeared in volumes 64-66 of journal and to ask whether there are lessons to be learned from the lessons of history. I am deeply grateful to David Haglund and Joseph Jockei for the opportunity to…
Robert Spencer: An Atlantic Man
Robert Spencer is an Atlantic man, part of a generation that fought the war well, believed the Atlantic span was narrow and founded on common values, and committed its professional lives to preserving the links to Europe when it was in ashes and, during those more difficult years, when it thrived. At earnest gatherings of the Canadian Institute of International Affairs (CIIA) during the winter, at Christmas parties at the men's clubs, at dinner t…

Enhancing Global Governance: Towards a New Diplomacy
Enhancing Global Governance analyzes the means by which global governance has been promoted by innovative diplomatic practices. The impetus for a new diplomacy has emerged not from traditional channels, but through a series of cross cutting coalitions among like-minded states and civil society. The question of how these alternative leadership forms have been expressed through the United Nations system, together with an evaluation of the impact th…
John Hutchinson's Critique of Newtonian Heterodoxy
Nature and Nature's laws lay hid in night: God said, Let Newton be!-and all was light," according to Alexander Pope. Other British subjects were not so sure. In recent years, historians have begun to take more seriously the persons who opposed Newton on either philosophical, scientific or theological grounds. Rival systems of natural philosophy were already in the field, including the scholastic, the alchemical, and especially the Cartesian. Newt…

Imitating the Cries of Little Children’: Exploitative Child Labour and the Growth of Children's Rights
IN 1832 THOMAS BABINGTON MACAULAY, a fervent supporter of the recent Reform Act in Britain, contested the new borough of Leeds for the Whigs. His Tory opponent was Michael Thomas Sadler, England's most prominent advocate of a factory act that would limit the hours and conditions of work for children. The few Leeds workingmen enfranchised by the Reform Act supported Sadler who had opposed the Reform Act. So did William Cobbett whose memorable lame…

John Wesley's Indebtedness to John Norris
Several scholars, including Workman, Cragg, Dreyer, and now Henry Rack, have called attention to Wesley's endorsement of Locke's philosophy (within limits) and, more broadly, to the debt which he owed to empiricist psychology and theories of knowledge. Wesley read the Essay Concerning Human Understanding in 1725 during the interval between his commencement as a Bachelor of Arts and his election to a Fellowship at Lincoln College, Oxford. The book…

The Second Time Around: Political Scientists Writing History
THE TROUBLES FOR POLITICAL HISTORY began in the 196os when the traditional came to represent not authority but fustiness or even repression. In Canada, political history was pre-eminently the tradition of Canadian historical writing. 'Nation-building' formed character, and politicians shaped circumstances. The historian, indeed, seemed to be the guardian of national tradition. William Kilbourn, for example, suggested in his article on historical …

Canadian Trade Policy in the Age of American Dominance and British Decline, 1943-1947
Canadian trade with both the United Kingdom and the United States is of a complementary nature, and is a classic example of a basically sound division of labour," the Rowell-Sirois Commission wrote in 1940. It continued: "Canada's position is similar to that of a small man sitting in a big poker game. He must play for the full stakes, but with only a fraction of the capital resources of his two substantial opponents; if he wins, his profits in re…
