Getting Back in the Game

A Foreign Policy Handbook for Canada

By: Paul Heinbecker

Paul Heinbecker has a compelling vision for the future of Canadian foreign policy and argues that Canada still has a role to play in the rehabilitation of global governance. Has Canada lost its place in the world? Are we destined for a future as a middle power, denied a seat at the "grown-ups table"? Some would argue yes, that decades of neglect and inattention have rendered Canadian foreign policy ineffective at best and non-existent at worst. Paul Heinbecker disagrees. The golden days of Lester B. Pearson may be long gone, he contends (and perhaps they weren’t quite as "golden" as we’d all like to remember), but Canada still has a part to play. In Getting Back in the Game, Heinbecker presents his compelling vision for the future of Canadian foreign policy, a future in which Canada can work both with the United Nations and apart from it; in which our government can take a stand and effect change on issues of the day from climate change to the Middle East; in which this country has a key role to play in the rehabilitation of global governance.

The Asia-Pacific Security Lexicon

By: David H. Capie,Paul M. Evans

In the turbulent decade since the ending of the Cold War in Europe, a new element of the international relations of Asia and the Pacific has been the emergence of multilateral security dialogues. Both in governmental arenas such as the ASEAN Regional Forum and numerous "track two" channels including the Council for Security Co-operation in Asia-Pacific, it has been a decade of creative interaction and new thinking. The Asia-Pacific Security Lexicon identifies the key phrases and ideas that have been the foundation of these dialogues, looking at their origins in international diplomacy and tracing their specific adaptation and modification to the conditions of a trans-Pacific setting. Of interest to both theoreticians and practitioners, the Lexicon is at once a handbook for regional diplomacy and an assessment of the factors that have shaped regional discussions.

Reproducing Sectarianism

Advocacy Networks and the Politics of Civil Society in Postwar Lebanon

By: Paul W. T. Kingston

The Arab Spring in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, and elsewhere has highlighted the growing importance of the politics of civil society in the contemporary Middle East. In Reproducing Sectarianism, Paul W. T. Kingston examines rights-oriented advocacy networks within Lebanon's postwar civil society, focusing on movements and political campaigns based on gender relations, the environment, and disability. Set within Lebanon's postwar sectarian democracy, whose factionalizing dynamics have long penetrated the country's civil society, Kingston's fascinating study provides an in-depth analysis of the successes and challenges that ensued in promoting rights-oriented social policies. Drawing on extensive field research, including interviews and a wealth of primary documents, Kingston has produced a groundbreaking work that will be of interest to Middle East experts and nonexperts alike.

Central and Peripheral Mechanisms of Cardiovascular Regulation

Central and Peripheral Mechanisms of Cardiovascular Regulation

By: Paul Pilowsky

There is increasing awareness that the autonomic nervous system, through its central and peripheral pathways, plays a critical role in the regulation of the circulation. Peripherally, the autonomic representation, largely that of sympathetic nerves, innervate virtually all segments of the vascular tree as well as the adrenal medulla. Through the interaction of nerve terminals, their transmitters, receptors and intracellular mediators in smooth muscle, sympathetic neurons control vascular tone as well as the basal performance of the heart. In turn, the performance of the autonomic nervous system is highly controlled by the brain. Once viewed as a black box with only a vague influence on cardiovascular performance, the introduction of concepts and techniques of neuroscience into the field of cardiovascular medicine has led to the realization of the critical role of this organ in cardiovascular control. It is now well recognized that within the brain, the represenation of cardiovascular function is highly restricted anatomically, engages a number of specific transmitters for its actions, and has highly selective and topographically restricted functions to influence circulatory performance.

Almost a Revolution

Mental Health Law and the Limits of Change

Almost a Revolution

Mental Health Law and the Limits of Change

By: Paul S. Appelbaum

Doubts about the reality of mental illness and the benefits of psychiatric treatment helped foment a revolution in the law's attitude toward mental disorders over the last 25 years. Legal reformers pushed for laws to make it more difficult to hospitalize and treat people with mental illness, and easier to punish them when they committed criminal acts. Advocates of reform promised vast changes in how our society deals with the mentally ill; opponents warily predicted chaos and mass suffering. Now, with the tide of reform ebbing, Paul Appelbaum examines what these changes have wrought. The message emerging from his careful review is a surprising one: less has changed than almost anyone predicted. When the law gets in the way of commonsense beliefs about the need to treat serious mental illness, it is often put aside. Judges, lawyers, mental health professionals, family members, and the general public collaborate in fashioning an extra-legal process to accomplish what they think is fair for persons with mental illness. Appelbaum demonstrates this thesis in analyses of four of the most important reforms in mental health law over the past two decades: involuntary hospitalization, liability of professionals for violent acts committed by their patients, the right to refuse treatment, and the insanity defense. This timely and important work will inform and enlighten the debate about mental health law and its implications and consequences. The book will be essential for psychiatrists and other mental health professionals, lawyers, and all those concerned with our policies toward people with mental illness.

Getting Back in the Game

A Foreign Policy Playbook for Canada

By: Paul Heinbecker

Has Canada lost its place in the world? Are we destined for a future as middle power, denied a seat at the “grown-ups table”? Some would argue yes ”that decades of neglect and inattention have rendered Canadian foreign policy ineffective at best, and non-existent at worst. Paul Heinbecker ”career diplomat and former permanent ambassador to the UN ”strongly disagrees. The golden days of Pearson may be long gone, he argues (and perhaps they weren't quite as “golden” as we'd all like to remember), but Canada still has a role to play. InGetting Back in the Game,Heinbecker presents his compelling vision for the future of Canadian foreign policy ”a future in which Canada can work both with the United States and apart from it; in which our government can take a stand and effect change on issues of the day, from climate change to the Middle East; in which this country has a key role to play in the rehabilitation of global governance. Drawing on more than thirty years of experience, Heinbecker offers a comprehensive, behind-the-scenes look at how we got to where we are, and how we can move forward. Through a wide range of topics ”the institutions of foreign policy; the use of hard, soft and smart power; Canada's complex relationship with the United States; and the continuing conundrum that is the United Nations, among others ”Heinbecker explores the questions and concerns that are on the minds of Canada's leaders, thinkers, and citizens. In the end, he makes a strong case for Canada's future on the world stage. Like Mark Twain, he argues that “it's not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog.” Praise: “Getting Back in the Gamecrystallizes Paul Heinbecker's impressive experience analysis at the active centre of Canadian foreign policy for more than thirty years. His book is informed, fluent, often blunt, and both realistic and optimistic about a Canada which can matter in the world, and a United Nations that is ‘innovative, effective and important.'” ”The Rt. Hon. Joe Clark, scholar, statesman, former Prime Minister of Canada, and Secretary of State for External Affairs 1983 “91 “Paul Heinbecker has served a variety of prime ministers and foreign ministers as a thoughtful and clear-spoken analyst of Canadian foreign policy. In this, a veritable ‘playbook' in Canadian foreign policy past and present, he shares his insight with the Canadian public, and we will all benefit from his intelligent and provocative but always committed rendering of the active role that Canada can play in the world.” ”Dr. Lloyd Axworthy, President of the University of Winnipeg; Canada's Minister of Foreign Affairs, 1996 “2000 “This is an impressive and comprehensive review of Canada and its place in the world: past, present, and future. It is a highly readable and sensible Canadian foreign policy treatise well rooted in experience and wisdom.” ”John Manley, President and CEO, Canadian Council of Chief Executives; Canada's Minister for Foreign Affairs 2000 “02; and Deputy Prime Minister 2002 “03 “Paul Heinbecker makes a very persuasive case for an active, ambitious foreign policy for Canada.Getting Back in the Gameshould be required reading for all those who think Canada is too small to do anything worthwhile on the world stage.” ”Louise Fr chette, Canadian Permanent Representative to the United Nations, 1992 “94; Deputy Minister of National Defence (1995 “98); and UN Deputy Secretary-General, 1998 “2006.

Irrelevant or Indispensable?

The United Nations in the Twenty-first Century

By: Paul Heinbecker,Patricia Goff

Suffering from a divided membership, the United Nations is at a crossroads, unable to assure human or national security. The UN has been criticized as irrelevant by its most—and least—powerful members alike because it can’t reach consensus on how to respond to twenty-first-century challenges of global terrorism, endemic poverty, and crimes against humanity. Secretary General Kofi Annan has proposed a package of sweeping reforms that would safeguard the rule of law, outlaw terrorism, protect the innocent from abusive governments, reduce poverty by half, safeguard human rights, and enlarge the Security Council. Intended to reinvigorate the institution and galvanize its members into action, his proposals are extensive and innovative, courageous and controversial. This volume assembles the perspectives of current practitioners, leading academics, civil society representatives, and UN officials on transforming the secretary general’s proposed reforms into action. Their assessments are frank and their views varied, but they do agree on one thing—the United Nations must be made more effective precisely because it is indispensable to the promotion of economic development and collective security in the twenty-first century.
