Canvas as Indigenous counter-diplomacy: The paradox of Kent Monkman’s visual art in Canadian cultural statecraft

From “stardust” to statecraft: The Canada Council for the Arts and the evolution of Canadian cultural diplomacy
If culture is the lynchpin of public diplomacy, then the Canada Council for the Arts (the Council) has had an important role in projecting Canada’s international image, identity, and values beyond its borders for over 60 years. This article explores the evolution of the Council’s role in Canada’s cultural diplomacy, from its birth as a result of the Massey Commission’s recommendations to its growing international role in projecting Canada’s diver…
Russia’s Strategy for Perception Management through Public Diplomacy and Influence Operations: The Canadian Case
This article argues that official Russian global media platforms such as Russia Today ( RT ) and Sputnik News , as well as Kremlin-friendly news outlets, represent the overt face of Russia’s global information ecology. The article discusses how such platforms fit into a framework for public diplomacy that has less-restrictive conceptual boundaries, and examines the intersection of public diplomacy with other dimensions of a nation-state’s operati…
Public Diplomacy in Confl ict Zones: Military Information Operations Meet Political Counter-Insurgency
The case made in this article is threefold: that the resolution of conflicts in the twenty-first century will depend much more on the judicious use of soft rather than hard power; that the type of soft power exercised through public diplomacy will move increasingly from monologue to dialogue and collaboration; and that there is an increasing convergence of thinking both in defence departments and foreign ministries on the role of public diplomacy…
Canada in the commonwealth
Canada has long been a major player in the Commonwealth. This essay will assert that Canada has the ability and opportunity to redefine its place in this organization and assume a greater leadership role. Reviewing Canada's involvement within the official and unofficial institutions of the Commonwealth is the basis for an examination of the role played by this multilateral organization in Canada's foreign policy. A discussion of the costs and ben…
Branding Canada: The Renaissance of Canada's Commercial Diplomacy
Diplomacy has always been concerned with trade. Ambassadors have traditionally been their country’s chief trade promotion officers. Today, with the forces of globalization ensuring greater and greater economic integration, government’s role in responding to and managing this process bears greater scrutiny. While there is extensive literature on economic and trade diplomacy, encompassing international negotiations on market access, far less attent…
Cyber-Diplomacy: Managing Foreign Policy in the Twenty-First Century
The authors in Cyber-Diplomacy look at the Canadian Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade (DFAIT) as a case study of a foreign ministry that has had to make considerable adjustments in recent years - in the management of its CIT infrastructure; in the impact of communications and information technologies on its diplomatic culture, and in the use of communications technology to promote its public diplomacy

Nigeria and the commonwealth: Towards an understanding of a foreign policy crisis
The death sentences on Nigerian writer Kenule Saro‐Wiwa and eight other Ogoni activists in November 1995 overshadowed all other matters at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Auckland. Their execution while the assembled heads were pleading for their lives was a reckless defiance of Commonwealth and world opinion. Nigeria has been a central figure in Commonwealth affairs since its independence and had become a important financial corn…
Niche Diplomacy as Canadian Foreign Policy
Few observers of Canadian foreign policy would deny that the number and complexity of foreign policy issues is increasing, yet the resources available to manage them are decreasing.(f.1) If we assume that 'old' foreign policy concerns -- non-proliferation, economic diplomacy, alliance politics, and multilateralism -- will continue to be important, Canada is left with three choices: increase the foreign policy budget to reflect the expanding agend…
