DOWNLOAD EBOOKSince the 1960s, there have been intensive internationalnegotiations to revise the law of the sea. These discussions culminatedin the convening of the Third United Nations Conference on the Law ofthe Sea in December 1973 and in four additional sessions up toSeptember 1976. Whether the almost 150 participating states will beable to reach an accord in 1977 or later on, the myriad issues on theiragenda is still uncertain. Two major issues have been the extension of coastal-statejurisdiction over resources and activities and the estblishment of aninternational regime to govern the exploitation of the deep seabed. Canada's most significant role has been that of a leader of the"coastal-state grouping," which has sought to expandstates' jurisdiction over fisheries, seabed resources, scientificresearch, and pollution control within a 200-mile economic zone andsometimes beyond. A number of these Canadian policy goals have alreadybeen accepted by a large majority of the participants in theconference. In this role, Canada has found itsself opposed to many of itstraditional allies among the developed nations with large fleetsengaged in commerce in distant waters, and concerned about thetraditional freedom of the high seas, and has aligned itself with thecoastal developing nations of Africa, Asia, and Latin America. The seven essays in this volume examine the development of Canadianpolicies on the major law of the sea issues and the outcome of thenegotiations on them. In so doing, the studies have analysedCanada's dramatic seward expansion and involvement in one of tehmost important United Nations Conferences.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAs the world economy is becoming increasingly global in nature, the future of Canada's welfare will directly depend on the country's response and reaction to a wide range of economic regimes which govern the international economy. This volume is an important and timely analysis of past and current Canadian policies toward both the formal and less formal arrangements which regulate such areas as international trade and financial transactions, international service industries, fisheries resources, and the environment. Often influenced by domestic political concerns and its relations with the United States, Canada has, as the authors point out, exhibited a high degree of variation in its responses to these regimes. Canadian Foreign Policy and International Economic Regimes addresses a broad range of foreign economic policies not generally considered in the foreign policy literature. Interdisciplinary in its approach, it will be of interest to those in political science and public policy, economics, and law, as well as to those involved in international business.

To the often dramatic conflicts represented by Quebec's attempts to establish an international 'voice' alongside that of the Canadian federal government were added the quieter, but no less significant, forays into foreign economic policy by, amongst others, the US and Australian state governments and the German Lander. There has been a strong inclination amongst observers of these trends to view them as marking dramatic changes in the character of international relations - perhaps, even, the demise of national governments as power passes to lower levels of political authority. Consequently, the emphasis has been on conflict between central and non-central governments regarding the conduct of foreign relations." "A more balanced picture can be constructed, however, by viewing the international activities of non-central governments (NCGs) as one element in an increasingly complex multilayered diplomatic environment wherein policy-makers seek to negotiate simultaneously with domestic as well as foreign interests. By examining, for example, the role of the US states and the Canadian provinces during the Canada-US free trade negotiations, it can be seen that NCGs are capable of performing a diversity of roles at different stages of the diplomatic cycle. Whilst they can be obstacles to the achievement of foreign-policy goals by national governments, they can also act as agents and allies in attaining objectives."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIt is hard to imagine a person who embodied the ideals of postwar Canadian foreign policy more than John Wendell Holmes. Holmes joined the foreign service in 1943, headed the Canadian Institute of International Affairs from 1960 to 1973, and, as a professor of international relations, mentored a generation of students and scholars. This book charts the life of a diplomat and public intellectual who influenced both how scholars and statespeople abroad viewed Canada and how Canadians saw themselves on the world stage.
