Playing a Role in Building a More Secure World by Anonim Pdf

National security is not the exclusive purview of any one level of government but is comprised of aggregates of both provincial and federal powers. Accordingly, the responsibilities that Québec assumes over its territory with regard to maintaining public health and safety, safeguarding democratic institutions, preventing crime and terrorism, and protecting the living environment of Quebecers, make it a key player in the hierarchy of interventions necessary to maintain national security and build a safer world. It is primarily by protecting its citizens within its territorial boundaries against non-military threats and exercising its responsibilities that Québec will do its part in meeting commonly shared continent-wide and international security objectives. This document outlines the main conclusions drawn from studies conducted in order to better understand the scope of emerging security issues for Québec.--Includes text from document.

The Legacy of 9/11 by Andrea Charron,Alexander Moens,Stéphane Roussel Pdf

While 9/11 was understood at the time as a world-changing event in international relations, its uneven aftermath and the long-term effects for North America could not have been predicted. Twenty years later, The Legacy of 9/11 explores the political, economic, security and defence, and trade and border implications of the event. Written by a team of North American experts across many fields, the book foregrounds the fallout of 9/11 in Mexico and Canada as opposed to the more commonly discussed impact on the United States. Looking at the event and its aftermath through four lenses – ideas about North America; border, trade, and economics; security and society; and defence – contributors analyze the complex legacy of 9/11. Rather than serving as a catalyst to create an integrated, trilateral continent, 9/11 entrenched the North America we have today: three separate states with emphasis on two very different borders. From a reconsideration of internationalism, a rise in populism, and a shift in migration patterns to the interventions in Afghanistan and Iraq, The Legacy of 9/11 uncovers how successive North American governments reacted in surprising ways to the world-altering attack.

A More Secure World by Great Britain. Foreign and Commonwealth Office Pdf

Commissioned by the UN Secretary General, the report of the High-level Panel on Threats, Challenges and Changes explores a range of current and evolving threats to international peace and security, and assesses how well existing policies and international institutions have done in addressing these challenges. The report was written by an independent panel of 16 people comprising former heads of state and foreign ministers, as well as security, military, diplomatic and development officials. It makes a number of recommendations to strengthen the international framework of collective security and to promote a more effective UN for the 21st century, based on the recognition that today's security threats, whether they be terrorism, civil wars or extreme poverty, are all interconnected and require comprehensive strategies to address them. This Command Paper sets out the text of the report with the aim of stimulating a public debate in the UK on the issues raised.

Essays on International Law by Graeme Baber Pdf

This book contains ten writings on different aspects of international law, each of them cross-referenced, in instances in which information in one is relevant to points made in another. The first essay considers the character of the subject, and its relation to other entities of relevance to it, such as its compatibility with national law and its relation to maritime law. The second one considers different types of legal instruments in settings of international law, and explains how to read a multilateral convention, using the Convention for the International Sale of Goods as an example. The third part discusses the characteristics of a state and the concept of recognition, the fourth reviews the various roles that institutions take in international law, concentrating in particular on major regional organisations, and the fifth explores the extent to which the World Trade Organisation and the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade provide for developing countries. Essay Six summarises the framework for international labour law and investigates its contents and workings, then the seventh considers which countries predominate in the running of international institutions. The eighth paper explores how regional entities might co-operate with international institutions in the harmonisation of the law, and the ninth one investigates the place of negotiation as a method of international dispute resolution. Finally, the tenth essay considers the past, present and future of international law, and reviews especially the role of language.

The Greek Economy and the Crisis by Panagiotis Petrakis Pdf

The book “The Greek Economy and the Crisis. Challenges and Responses” targets all those who think about the present and future of this (culturally) long-lived small geographic region (Greece), to form a personal view of its social and economic problems. A society that repeats the same types of behaviour over the centuries does not do so due to random mistakes. It contains intrinsic forces that affect it. These should be understood, to allow us to delineate future developments. However, the manner in which the social and economic process is perceived must be comprehensive and multidisciplinary: Economics, politics, social psychology and organizational psychology are essential to this analysis. Thus, the book is useful to those seeking information for their professional, scientific and personal development, allowing them to shape their social attitude. It is also useful to those responsible for taking decisions at national, European or enterprise level, in relation to the social and economic problems of Greece.
