Middle Powers and Sports Mega-Events in an Era of World Order Ferment
Since the early 1990s South Korea has come to be widely perceived, internally and externally, as a global ‘middle power’. But what does this mean concerning its approach to international relations? How, more particularly, is it reflected in its approach to hosting Sports Mega-Events (SMEs)? In this paper it is argued that the most persuasive explanation for distinguishing a category of middle powers in international politics is their distinctive …
Civil society and the state in the making of Canadian development policy
The Forthright Political Stance of Sport for Development in Korean Official Development Assistance
The rapid growth of Sport for Development (SFD) policies, practices, and organizations over the past two decades has been widely studied. However, by far the preponderance of attention has been focused on SFD initiatives and analyses concentrated in traditional Western donor states, where they have been characterized by a focus on social development objectives and civil society-led modalities. By contrast, SFD efforts emanating from non-Western c…
Eclectic political economies of a world disordered
Sports mega-events and changing world order
Processes of making, sustaining, reforming, and un-making world orders are constants in global politics and development. Understood in the neo-Gramscian tradition pioneered by Robert Cox, ideas, institutions, and material capabilities combine to shape the range of possibilities for more and less stable orders. Sports mega-events (SMEs)—most prominently, the Olympic Games—have played an underappreciated role in this process. This paper examines th…
Development co‐operation and the partnership–ownership nexus
Special issue introduction Ownership in a post‐aid effectiveness era
National and Regional Variation in Local Primary Care Physician Density Relative to the Uninsured and the Affordable Care Act
This study is the first to examine primary care physician (PCP) density relative to the uninsured at the local level prior to and after insurance expansion under the Affordable Care Act. Primary care physician density is associated with access to care, lower inpatient and emergency care, and primary care services. However, access to primary care among the uninsured may be limited due to inadequate availability of PCPs. Core-Based Statistical Area…
The challenges of articulating 'top down' and 'bottom up' development through sport
Global development praxis has featured a chronic tension between ‘top down’ and ‘bottom up’ orientations, encompassing both actors and the values and objectives they promote. Top down and bottom up manifestations of sport for development (SFD) have been more closely integrated, practically and imaginatively, than most other development domains, with the logic of ‘bottom up’ development typically subordinated to ‘top down’ assumptions and practice…
South Africa's bilateral relationships in the evolving foreign policy of an emerging middle power
This article introduces the special issue on ‘South African Foreign Policy: identity, directions, and intentions’. Here we seek to summarize key insights from the contributions to this special issue to deepen understanding of South Africa’s evolving post-apartheid foreign policy through an exploration of the nature and trajectory of key bilateral relationships from both the global ‘South’ (Brazil, China, Iran, the AU) and ‘North’ (Japan and the U…
Breaking with tradition? South Africa–UK relations
Just over twenty years into its new era of democracy, South African foreign policy appears to be undergoing important changes in orientation and global positioning. Indeed, post-apartheid South African foreign policy has been steadily shifting away from a preoccupation with more traditional partnerships to developing alliances and coalitions with emerging economies and actors seeking to reform the global governance order. The paper seeks to under…
Seeking Order in Anarchy
Seeking Order in Anarchy offers insights into both the theoretical foundations and the real-world outcomes of multilateralism in world affairs. Recognizing that Tom Keating's theories, though rooted in Canadian foreign policy, have a broader application in international relations, Robert W. Murray has assembled an array of interpretations of multilateralism and case studies examining its practical effects. Drawing from the insights of fourteen no…
Building a more inclusive South Africa
For disabled South Africans, the legacy of protracted conflict and conflict resolution has led to a paradoxical situation. The struggle of people with disabilities within the larger politics of struggle helped produce major gains through constitutional recognition, self-representation, legislated advances and institutionalisation (or ‘mainstreaming’) of disability issues countrywide. Yet these advances have lost momentum, well short of full equit…
Creative encounters
Despite some promising beginnings, disability studies and development studies have paid little attention to each other, and have much to gain from doing so. We focus on the need for more inter-connected analyses of post-conflict and post-disaster contexts, and the methodological requirements of inclusive research in ‘low resource settings’. Reflecting on cross-cutting themes from this collection, we highlight: the challenge of translating formal …
International development and the private sector
Historically, the relationship between the private sector and international development has been deeply ambivalent. For many, a vibrant private sector and competitive markets are the essential prerequisites of development. For many others, development is principally concerned with ameliorating the dislocation associated with capitalist profit seeking. In the last generation, this ambivalence has given way to an emphasis on the complementarities b…

This article revisits our 1993 field analysis of the theoretical condition of Canadian foreign policy (CFP) literature, which was in turn a response to Maureen Molot's 1990 argument that said literature had "been captured by its own preoccupations and ha[d], therefore, remained highly descriptive." In our analysis, we found the field to be marked by promising yet exceptional and arrested theoretical openings and a lack of cumulation, broadly unde…
Sport and Diplomacy
This article explores the potent yet ambiguous possibilities of sport as it relates to diplomacy. It surveys the range of actors that have engaged in sport diplomacy, and how these have changed – and broadened – in the incomplete transition from ‘club’ to ‘network’ diplomacy. In particular, the article highlights the distinctive and often highly influential role of international sports organizations, along with state governments, intergovernmenta…

The G8 and Africa
When future historians consider the global governance role of the G8, they would do well to consider its approach to Africa. For the first decade of the new millennium, G8 summits sustained an extraordinary focus on the continent. Responding to African governments' proposed New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD), G8 governments produced a succession of agreements and initiatives, anchored by the 2002 Africa Action Plan and the 2005 Glen…
Catching up
As a category, Developmental States (DS) in the world political economy express a distinctive set of ideological practices that give them specific incentives to host sporting mega-events. Asian DSs, or ‘late(r) developers’, in particular offer interesting case studies by which to explore the symbolic value such states attach to hosting Olympic Games, Commonwealth Games, and other major sporting events. This paper examines five Asian examples (Tok…

Does Politics Stop at the Water's Edge in Canada
Do political parties matter when it comes to Canadian foreign policy? Conventional wisdom says they do. We often hear the argument that some past decision would not have been made if only another had been in power, or that some current policy is likely to be overturned as soon as another comes into power. The parties themselves have worked hard to encourage this way of thinking, playing up the coherence and continuity of foreign policy priorities…
Physical Activity and Function in Older Adults
Objective: To assess the theory of planned behavior (TPB) and TPB with functional ability to explain intention and self-reported physical activity (PA) behavior of older adults. Methods: A survey was mailed to 2056 retirees from a large Midwestern university. Results: Structural equation modeling revealed that the TPB plus functional ability explained an additional 11% variance than the TPB alone in older adult PA and functional ability was the b…
Body Mass Index and Percentage Body Fat as Health Indicators for Young Adults
The Canadian International Development Agency
The Canadian International Development Agency is confronted by an extraordinary range of cross-pressures that have prevented it from sustaining a coherent mission, stable policy priorities, and long-discussed administrative reforms. These cross-pressures are in the first place normative—between more cosmopolitan and more sovereignty-affirming orientations. They are then traced through three levels of analysis: transnational, governmental, and sta…
The Symbolic Politics of Sport Mega-Events
For ambitious civic and national boosts sport mega-events provide\nunique opportunities for the pursuit of symbolic politics—a chance to signal\nimportant changes of direction, reframe dominant narratives about the host,\nand/or reinforce key messages of change. These signals or narratives are\ncritical vehicles of legitimation, with both narrowly instrumental objectives and\nmore expansive purposes related to the mobilisation of societal support…
The allure of global games for 'semi-peripheral' polities and spaces
Exploring the increasing propensity of 'semi-peripheral' polities and spaces to host major games as a pivotal strategic response to the exigencies of globalisation, it is contended that pursuing such events is intimately connected to the perceived expansion of 'marketing power' on the one hand, and to the legitimisation and celebration of conceptions of national identity and political orders, on the other. Given that various contingencies bear up…

Body Mass Index and Disability in Adulthood
Objectives. This study examined whether body mass index (BMI) or change in BMI raises the risk of disability in adulthood. Methods. The relation between BMI and upper- and lower-body disability was examined among adult subjects from a national longitudinal survey (n = 6833). Tobit regression models were used to examine the effect of BMI on disability 10 and 20 years later. Results. Obesity (BMI ≥ 30) at baseline or becoming obese during the study…

The Olympic Games, human rights and democratisation
The experience of the Seoul Olympics in 1988 has led major games boosters to boldly assert their liberalising potential, especially in the context of the Beijing Games of 2008. This paper examines whether in the post-Cold War and post-9/11 eras, there is a sound basis for such arguments. It begins by re-examining the lessons of the Seoul Olympics to clarify the Games' contribution to the democratisation of Korea, as catalyst though not cause. It …
The New South Africa confronts Abacha's Nigeria
The 'new' South Africa's effort to confront and bring pressure to bear on the rights-abusive Nigerian military regime of General Sani Abacha is revisited in this article as a seminal case in a pivotal relationship. The challenge posed by the Abacha regime put to the test two central pillars of post-apartheid foreign policy: the promotion of human rights and democracy; and the commitment to put Africa at the forefront of foreign policy choices. Th…
Rights, region and identity
The ANC government's regional human rights role has often been portrayed as confused, contradictory, and marked by failure, in light of South Africa's commitment to make human rights a central 'pillar' of its post‐apartheid foreign policy, and its position of relative power in the region. We argue that the government's choices of 'quiet diplomacy', its preference for multilateralism, and its sensitivity to considerations of 'African solidarity' b…

The Western Australian Election of 10 February 2001
In a departure from normal practice, Coalition Premier Richard Court travelled to the regional city of Bunbury to announce that Western Australia would have a general election on 10 February 2001. The neighbouring marginal seats of Bunbury and Mitchell were two of the eleven seats that the Australian Labor Party hoped to win to gain a majority in its own right in the 57-member Legislative Assembly. Most commentators agreed there would be a strong…

Canada and Structural Adjustment in the South
During the 1980s and early 1990s, the Canadian government became a strong supporter of IFI-designed Structural Adjustment Programmes (SAPs) for indebted Southern states, and altered its aid priorities accordingly. Despite the significance of this shift, however, little effort has been made to explain it theoretically. This paper addresses this gap through a case study of Canada's lead role in facilitating Structural Adjustment in Guyana. Several …
Notable Exceptions? New and Arrested Directions in Canadian Foreign Policy Literature
The literature on Canadian Foreign Policy has often been characterized as overly descriptive and theoretically weak. This type of characterization, advanced most recently by Maureen Molot, is no longer wholly accurate. By reviewing several relatively recent contributions and debates in this literature, it is demonstrated that in pockets, the subfield has advanced substantially in theoretical sophistication. Nevertheless, it continues to manifest …
The Purdue Stepped Approach Model
This article presents an implementation strategy for health counseling based on the Purdue Stepped Approach Model (PM). The PM increases the intensity of interventions presented in a series. Selected issues in behavioral and health counseling that led to the development of the model, including cost-effectiveness, response of clients to treatment, and client commitment to and involvement in the therapeutic process, are discussed. A description of …

Multilateralism Re-constituted and the Discourse of Canadian Foreign Policy
The collapse of the Soviet bloc along with ongoing global economic restructuring have given rise to many calls for a new internationalism, or for a renewed multilateralism. Paradoxically, as suggested above, these calls to multilateralism are both evocative of the post- World War II golden era of Canadian foreign policy and highly contemporary, as post-Cold War global restructuring focuses attention on the construction of a new world order in whi…
Moving with the Crowd
This article examines the development of Canadian foreign aid policy to Africa, particularly since 1980. We argue that the principles and rules governing Canadian assistance to Africa are increasingly defined at the systemic level, by and among the community of aid donors, rather than at the domestic level, by Canadian decision-makers. In short, Canadian aid policy to Africa is increasingly influenced by the international aid regime. We do not de…

Hunting satisfaction and reciprocal exchange
This study explores the satisfaction of 228 adults with hunting during a state‐regulated lottery hunt in which the day of the hunt was randomly assigned. An analysis of covariance indicated that cohorts, based on the day that subjects hunted, were significantly different with respect to satisfaction with the hunt (p < .037). The cohort with the greatest satisfaction was intermediate with regard to the ratio of number of deer harvested per day to …
Response Peaks” as a Component of Measurement Error
This study investigated response bias, in the form of “response peaks,” in 228 randomly selected subjects who participated in a lottery-regulated hunt. Subjects demonstrated a statistically significant (p <.0000) digit preference for values ending in zero or five in the self report of number of days hunted per year and number of years hunted. In addition, subjects who exhibited a digit preference were significantly (p <.0000) more variable and re…
Primary Meta-Analysis in Leisure Research
This study presents a primary meta-analysis and describes differences in responses to constructs assessed by the measurement component of Neulinger's paradigm of leisure. Five data sets, contributed by researchers who investigated diverse subpopulations, were concatenated for analyses. There were 480 subjects, 197 men and 283 women, and differences were considered for five independent variables which included gender, age, education, income, and m…

Human Rights in Foreign Policy
In order to narrow the 'compliance gap' between the 'idea of universal human rights and practices of human wrongs', differences in human rights understandings and practices between countries of the North and the South must be reduced. Towards this end, it is useful to critically examine the experiences of Northern countries which have long professed their dedication to human rights. This article specifically examines lessons for post-apartheid So…
