Democratic Practices in Mercosur and the OAS: What Space for Transnational Civil Society
Democratic theory asserts that the legitimacy of contemporary international and regional organisations rests on a degree of consensus expressed by various actors. The quest for diffuse support now extends beyond member states and explains the opening up of IOs/ROs to transnational civil society’s participation. Despite both notions being familiar to IR scholars, a more precise understanding is needed concerning the relationship between each conce…
L'apport des instituions parlementaires aux organisations régionales: L'expérience des Amériques
La littérature récente identifie les institutions parlementaires internationales (IPI) comme un acteur significatif des relations internationales contemporaines. Parallèlement, des chercheurs observent un mouvement d'ouverture des organisations internationales et régionales en faveur des acteurs autres que les États. La combinaison des deux phénomènes crée un contexte favorable pour l'étude du rôle des parlementaires dans le fonctionnement des or…

Dynamics of Legitimation in Regional Organisations: The OAS and Non State Actors
Legitimation has been conceived mostly as an exercise in justification by international/regional organisations needing to convince audiences of the rightfulness of their behaviour. What we could call the external dimension of legitimation. The internal dimension, what happens between an organisation and its stakeholders, remains understudied. Analysing internal legitimation practices becomes important in the context of the opening-up of internati…
Legislators and Regional Organizations: The Issue of Legitimacy
Recent scholarship has argued that there has been an opening up of international and regional organizations toward transnational actors since the end of the Cold War, as a result of increased democratization, which is generally considered as a positive contribution to the legitimacy of these organizations. Yet it remains unclear how generalized the opening up has been in terms of regions and category of actors. The role of legislators, particular…
Le Canada et l'initiative Obama de rapprochement avec Cuba
L’article cherche à comprendre le rôle joué par le Canada face à l’initiative du président Obama de rapprochement entre les États-Unis et Cuba et, plus largement, cherche à évaluer l’influence qu’a pu avoir Ottawa sur les décisions prises par Washington et La Havane dans la gestion de leurs relations. Pour ce faire, l’étude sélectionne quatre périodes importantes dans l’évolution du triangle Canada-États-Unis-Cuba afin d’analyser le comportement …
Identity and Foreign Policy: Canada as a Nation of the Americas
Using Canada's relations with the Americas as a case study, this article seeks to better understand the link between identity and foreign policy. It argues that there is a gap between the Canadian government's recent efforts to construct a state identity increasingly turned toward the Americas and Canadians' national identity as it is expressed through public opinion. It concludes that the most plausible explanation for this gap probably has to d…
The Changing Dynamics of Inter‐American Security
This article argues that, thanks to the progress of hemispheric multilateralism since the end of the Cold War, the conditions for identifying a nascent security community have been fulfilled in the Americas. The evolution has not been perfectly linear, and in light of the tensions that have marked inter‐American relations during the past few years, it remains an open question whether the renewal of security cooperation can be pursued in the futur…
Canada and the Americas: Making a Difference
Canada's minister of state for the Americas and consular affairs, Diane Ablonczy, opened the December 2011 ministerial dialogue on the Americas with the questions, is Canada doing in the Americas? How can we do better?1 The contributions to this special issue of International Journal propose to frame some answers to these questions.The contributors to this issue assess the record of Canada's involvement in four areas of inter-American cooperation…
Canada and the Security of the Americas: Between Old Threats and New Challenges
Since 1940 the Americas have been fairly peaceful compared to other regions of the world. Although Central America was racked by extremely violent civil wars during the 1980s, over the past few decades the region as a whole has not experienced many military conflicts between states. Barely a handful of the various territorial disputes, past or present, have led to open warfare. The last significant episode, the 1995 war between Peru and Ecuador, …
Regionalism and the State: Nafta and Foreign Policy Convergence
Cooperative Hegemony and Summitry in the Americas
As an instrument for governance, summitry is a novel structure for the management of contemporary hemispheric regionalism in the Americas. Such regionalism is a clear case of the "structuralist paradox" of international cooperation. This article attempts to explain the particular asymmetric regionalism in the Americas by using the concept of cooperative hegemony. The underlying hypothesis is that the U.S. government, since 1994, has pursued a str…
Asymétrie de puissance et négociations économiques internationales: La zone de libre-échange des Amériques et les puissances moyennes
The role played by the middle powers in international economic negotiations is neglected by the literature on the subject. However, in an international trade negotiation characterized by a configuration of global asymmetry but with a relative symmetry between the dominant actors, the role played by the middle powers such as Canada constitutes a central factor in the success of the negotiation. Taking the example of the prenegotiations of the Free…
The Americas in Transition: The Contours of Regionalism
The FTA, MERCOSUR, the Enterprise for the Americas Initiative, NAFTA, the Summit of the Americas—do these constitute building blocs in the construction of a new regional system? This book explores that question, offering an assessment of the state of regionalism in the Americas. The authors first outline the regionalist project—which they view as essentially a U.S. initiative—and analyze the environment in which it has evolved. They then focus on…
Les Objectifs De La Politique Étrangère Canadienne Face à L'Amérique Latine
La production scientifique à propos de la politique étrangère canadienne à l'égard de l'Amérique latine s'est accrue et est devenue plus diversifiée depuis trente ans. Tout au long de cette période, les auteurs ont souvent fait référence au comportement verbal des décideurs canadiens à propos de l'Amérique latine. Pourtant, très peu d'études systématiques ont porté sur le discours canadien à l'égard de cette région et aucune n'a traité en détail …
Regionalism in the Americas and the Hierarchy of Power
It seems that regionalism is making a comeback nowadays (Rostow, 1990). Not so much in the real world where different types of regional arrangements never ceased to be a functional part of the workings of the international system since the 1950s, but more so in the scientific production of international relations scholars.Those old enough to recollect the 1960s will remember how such journals as International Organization and the Journal of Commo…
