Life with Uncle: The Canadian-American Relationship
The Unquiet Diplomat—Lester: Edited and Introduced by Adam Chapnick
In 1975 John Holmes permanently relinquished his position as directorgeneral of the Canadian Institute of International Affairs (CIIA) and assumed the somewhat less onerous role of counsellor. It was a busy time for Holmes: his Killam research grant-meant to supporta two or three volume history of Canadian external relations during the 19405 and 19505had just been renewed and he was in the midst of drafting the official proposal for what later be…

Italy: In the Mediterranean, but of it
While Italy is inescapably a Mediterranean country, the southern Mediterranean is not where its current interests lie. There was much more Italian emphasis upon Mediterranean initiatives following the Cold War, until the departure from the scene of former foreign minister Gianni De Michelis in 1992. Today, Italy's ambitions are eminently European and its concerns relate more to situations to the east than to the south. None the less, one can stil…

Impact of Domestic Political Factors on Canadian-American Relations: Canada
The major difference between Canadians and Americans on the subject of their relationship is in the intensity of their perceptions. There is bound to be conflict between a people who regard the relationship as critical and those who have scarcely noticed the other country. Firmly fixed in the Canadian view is the idea that a special relationship has come to an end. When the British contemplated the end of their special relationship with the Unite…
Geneva 1954: The Settlement of the Indochinese War
Fearful Symmetry: The Dilemmas of Consultation and Coordination in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization
In confronting any question about the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in the late sixties one is uncomfortably aware of insistent questioning as to how much it all matters. Is NATO a device to meet horizontal challenges when the new challenges are vertical? Is “the West,” whatever that is, defending the Elbe when the struggle is going on in its own streets? These challenges from within are not the subversion directed from the Union of S…

Our other Hemisphere: Reflections on the Bahia Conference
A Canadian attending a conference on tensions in the Western Hemisphere* is inevitably preoccupied with the question whether ought to accept a formal role in that Hemisphere. Canadians have been asking themselves that question for some time, and we are now under pressure, not only from other residents the Hemisphere but also from Europeans, to stop being a world-wide nuisance and settle down in our own region. Canada and Her Hemisphere, for examp…
The Commonwealth and Africa
That there is a useful role for the Commonwealth in the immediate future was one view on which there was general agreement at the Commonwealth Studies Conference held in Lagos, Nigeria, from January 8 to 16 of this year. The problem is to define that role realistically, with due consideration for the changed composition of the Commonwealth and rapid shifts in international alignment. The irony of the gathering was that at a session at which all p…

The Political and Philosophical Aspects of U.N. Security Forces
This is a conclave of pragmatists. Our concern is with a category of international mechanisms that have grown out of experience, which are known to work, however imperfectly. This is not a constitutional convention of philosophers composing Utopias. The value of our subject matter is that it is related to the real world of conflict, confusion and cross-purposes. We must nevertheless try to see it in persepective, try to set it against what the po…

The West and the Third World
In recent years we have begun to emerge from the nightmare of a bipolar East vs. the free world vs. the Communist world, the good guys vs. the bad guys, we and they. It was always a gross oversimplification, but the is so complex that we shall always need some pattern for it. new pattern is tripartite if not exactly tripolar. Now we speak of No. 1 world, The West, No. 2 world, The Communists, and what the French have christened the Third World. T…

Herman Kahn said recently that Canada is a regional power without a region. Canada is something of a sport, a nuisance to those who like their political geography neat—rather like Australia or Albania. There are arguments for attaching us to various regions or groups of states. If there is one region, however, to which Canada does not naturally belong it is the so-called Western Hemisphere. Although the Rio Treaty somewhat presumptuously included…

The American Problem
Between the Second World War, the hot one, and the Third World War, the cold one, there was a brief period when there seemed to be emerging a confrontation between the lesser powers and the great powers. Its heyday was the San Francisco Conference of 1945, but it was soon confounded by the alignments of the three great blocs, including the rigidly non-aligned. One hesitates to say the cold war is waning, but something unidentifiable is happening …
Mediation or Enforcement
There is undoubtedly much that is attractive and persuasive in the conception of a world united to prevent by force a breach of the peace by an aggressor. This much was acknowledged by Mackenzie King in 1936, but he added, of course, that it was only a hypothetical argument and bore no relation to the actualities of the day. may be that eventually some such rule of law will be established in the international as has been established in the nation…
Geneva 1954: The Settlement of the Indochinese War
After 25 Years
In contemplating the Canadian position in world affairs over the quarter-century since this Journal was established, it is hard to decide whether we have moved into a new age or just completed another of our familiar manic cycles. Both conclusions are no doubt valid. The dimensions have changed enormously, but the persistent themes are reappearing. We are back with the three hundred and fifty year old dilemmas over dividing a continent across the…
