The Ethics of Assistance
The Ethics of Assistance: Morality and the Distant Needy, Deen Chatterjee, ed., Cambridge Studies in Philosophy and Public Policy; Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2004, pp. xi, 292.Many, indeed most, of the contributors to this volume address aspects of one or other of two rather different discourses that are prominent within the contemporary literature on international humanitarian assistance. The first is the basis for, and extent of, ou…
A Response to Daniel Joly
Ethical Values and Canadian Foreign Aid Policies
When reflecting on the determinants of Canadian aid policies over the last three or more decades, very few Canadian scholars have suggested that Canadian moral values have had a significant impact on these policies. Yet in apparent defiance of what we have written, many of us have urged changes in Canadian policies to make them more responsive to considerations of human solidarity and moral obligation. I have long been intrigued by this apparent …
Ethical Values and Canadian Foreign Policy
IT IS WIDELY EXPECTED THAT SOMETIME IN 2001 there will be a review of Canadian foreign aid policies. In anticipation, Canadian non-government organizations (NGOs) are mobilizing to do what they can to ensure that there is no substantial retreat from the putative humanitarian objectives of Canadian aid. Now is perhaps a good time to ask how much success civil society groups have had in the past in promoting a more ethically responsible Canadian fo…
Julius Nyerere the ethical foundation of his legacy
Julius Nyerere, Tanzania’s first president from 1964 to 1985, died in 1999 amid many international expressions of respect and affection. While many Western commentators concluded that Nyerere’s socialist policies served his people badly, Tanzanians regarded him as a leader of integrity who was profoundly committed to their welfare. While many policy initiatives failed, they rested on a more insightful ethical foundation and understanding of the c…

ETHICAL VALUES AND CANADIAN DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCEAfter 1945, a cosmopolitan dimension gradually became a feature of the political cultures of most industrialized societies as they came to accept that they had obligations to promote basic human rights beyond their borders and to aid the development of the world's poorest peoples and countries. However, the attachment of most governments to these obligations has never been other than fragile,(f.1)…

Canadian International Development Assistance Policies
Canada's Development Assistance
Early in December 1993, Andre Ouellet, Canada's new minister of foreign affairs, announced that he would initiate a parliamentary review of foreign policy early in the new year. A consideration of Canada's defence and aid policies is to be integral to that review. The parallels are thus quite close to the initiatives taken by Joe Clark, the secretary of state for external affairs in the new Conservative government of 1984. He, too, sought a major…
Canada's Development Assistance
Struggle over Development in the Twentieth Century
Towards a Neo-Conservative Transformation of Canadian International Development Assistance
Some proposals for the administrative restructuring of a major government agency may well be designed merely to make that agency more efficient in accomplishing policy objectives that are already well established. Where that is the case, there is little need for any extensive public discussion of the proposed reforms for they are essentially housekeeping in character reorganizations with no major policy implications. While the recent strategic ma…
Middle Power Internationalism
Middle Power Internationalism
Middle Power Internationalism
The North-South dichotomy is evident not only to political economists and foreign policy makers but to anyone who pays attention to the news. The gravity of the situation has become more pronounced since the admission, by the richer states, of a fiscal deficit problem and the possibility of a related global recession.

The pattern revealed is one of deliberate ambiguity. On some issues and in some forums, Canada has acted vigorously to promote human rights internationally, as in the United Nations Human Rights Commission, the United Nations Committee on Human Rights, and the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe. Canada has been much less forceful about human rights in dealings with the International Labour Organization and has almost completely igno…

Dominant Class Theory and Canadian Foreign Policy
Paul Pross, a leading student of Canadian pressure groups, has written that 'the real problem in the study of Canadian pressure groups lies not in the paucity of the literature, but in the poverty of its analytical approach.'1 Others, perhaps seeking to make the same point, have spoken of the need to develop an appropriate theoretical framework for the study of the relationship between society and the state. This is argued from both the left and …
Canadian Policy Towards the Third World

Tanzania's Transition to Socialism
Ethics and Foreign Policy
While the three sections of this article are severely different, they deal with the same basic issue: the reluctance of the government of Canada, a comparatively liberal and humane country, to respond to ethical concerns as fully as public opinion would permit in its development assistance and other policies relating to global poverty. Following a discussion of ethics and North-South relations at a high level of generality, I will consider eviden…

Human Rights and Foreign Policy
This article has two purposes. First, it attempts to establish the bases for legitimate state interference and possibly intervention in the internal affairs of another state to promote basic human rights. Second, it will test the utility of this argument by applying it to a consideration of Canadian policies related to South Africa and to development assistance. We will first define and defend the concept of basic human rights. We will then consi…

A Perspective on Tropical Africa in the 1960s
It is no parody to say that many Western observers in 1960, the author included, viewed the achievement of independence primarily in terms of a transfer of power from a benevolently minded colonial power to an educated and nationally minded elite. The members of the elite, we assumed, were committed to the rapid development of their country, were anxious to rule through the constitutional system transplanted in their country by their colonial rul…

Democracy and Socialism in Tanzania
there is much to be gained by a continuing dialogue between Marxist socialists of this particular persuasion and democratric socialists. Each admit the possibilities that the regime [in Tanzania] may lose its socialist thrust; neither claim that this is inevitable. The disagreement between them may acquire a large part of its intensity because of its ideological overtones. Nevertheless it is also a debate about the significance of actual events. …

Socialism in Sub-Saharan Africa
Towards Socialism in Tanzania
From Pearson to Brandt
African governments have had no choice over the last decade but to persist in their efforts to attract foreign investors, to sell their products in Western markets, and to seek from Western states whatever capital aid and technical assistance they could attract. Whatever the frustrations and disappointments of this dependency, their poverty is too great and the clamour of their peoples too persistent for them to heed those who urge them towards m…
