While the nature of developments in Pakistan might well amount to the single most important external influence, not least because of the shared Pashtun population on either side of the Durand Line and Pakistan’s longstanding preoccupation with Indian designs in the region, in Afghanistan there are many other factors and actors at play.http://www.cdfai.org/inthemedia/inthemediamay172013.htm Fri May 17 12:14:00 -0600 Canada is about to enter an entirely new phase of heightened diplomatic responsibilities in the circumpolar Arctic in assuming the chairmanship of the Arctic Council. Made up of the U.S.A., Russia, Denmark (including Greenland), Iceland, Finland, Norway and Sweden, among others, the Arctic Council’s member states will rotate the chairmanship to Canada this month.http://www.cdfai.org/inthemedia/inthemediamay102013.htm Fri May 10 09:22:00 -0600 As Canada kicks off a second round of Arctic Council chairmanships this month, we’re reminded of the achievements brought by international co-operation in the circumpolar world since the end of the Cold War.From reduced military tensions to increased stability, transnational dialogue has brought states, regional actors and northerners together to work toward common goals, with shared beliefs in greater prosperity and well-being. http://www.cdfai.org/inthemedia/inthemediamay92013.htm Thur May 9 09:22:00 -0600 No two countries in the Arctic region share so much in common as Canada and Russia. We often forget, or take for granted, our commonalities that are manifested in our Arctic identity, our Arctic expertise in technologies and our livelihood, or geographic proximity and the common challenges and opportunities that we face in the far north.http://www.cdfai.org/inthemedia/inthemediamay82013.htm Wed May 8 10:02:00 -0600 Arctic affairs are no longer the quiet preserve of the Arctic states. Once frozen in the geopolitics of the Cold War, the thawing region now commands international attention. The Arctic Council, a relaxed forum for dialogue and information sharing amongst Arctic states and representatives of indigenous groups (the permanent participants), now faces a deluge of new applicants for observer status. http://www.cdfai.org/inthemedia/inthemediamay72013.htm Tues May 7 10:50:00 -0600 Canada is set to assume the chairmanship of the Arctic Council this month, and in the days leading up to this important transition there has been considerable discussion of what Canada will do as chair. One issue that has not received much attention is the need to discuss the growing militarization of the Arctic. While the Arctic Council is formally forbidden from discussing military security in the Arctic, the time has arrived to rethink this policy. http://www.cdfai.org/inthemedia/inthemediamay52013.htm Mon May 6 10:30:00 -0600 Prime Minister Stephen Harper won’t be attending the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) in Sri Lanka next November, The Huffington Post Canada has learned.The decision may ostracize Harper as the only G8-level leader not attending the meeting with Britain, Australia and New Zealand all expected to send their prime ministers, but it is expected to be very popular with Tamils, a new community the Tories are going after. http://www.cdfai.org/inthemedia/inthemediamay32013.htm Fri May 3 11:22:00 -0600 Conflict creates headlines. No surprise then that much recent coverage of Canada-US relations has focused on the president’s approval of the Keystone XL pipeline and, to a lesser extent, the Windsor-Detroit bridge. We’ve now got the bridge permit, an important achievement that reflects over a decade of hard slogging by all levels of government. http://www.cdfai.org/inthemedia/inthemediaapril242013.htm Wed Apr 24 11:22:00 -0600
