GLOBALISM AND MEANINGFUL PEACE: A NEW WORLD ORDER ROOTED IN INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY
THE CHALLENGE IS TO MAKE THE POST COLD WAR ERA NOT ONE OF DOMINION, BUT TO ENSURE DEMOCRACY IN THE GLOBAL SYSTEM. A STRENGTHENED SYSTEM OF GLOBAL GOVERNANCE IS NEEDED, WITH THE UN AS ITS HEADQUARTERS. GLOBAL LAW ENFORCMENT ARRANGEMENTS MUST BE BACKED BY A GLOBAL EMERGENCY SYSTEM THAT ENABLES SWIFT INTERNATIONAL, PREVENTATIVE ACTION AND ESTABLISHED TRIPWIRES FOR WOULD-BE-AGGRESSORS. THE UN SECURITY COUNCIL MUST ACCEPT 'DEVELOPMENT' AS PART OF ITS MANDATE OF ENSURING PEACE AND SECURITY.

THE UNITED NATIONS, REGIONAL ORGANIZATIONS AND HUMAN SECURITY: BUILDING THEORY IN CENTRAL AMERICA
DRAMATIC CHANGES IN THE INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM LEND SALIENCE TO THE CONCEPT OF GLOBAL GOVERNANCE. THIS ARTICLE OFFERS A DEFINITION OF TERMS WHICH PRECEDES A DISCUSSION OF THE HISTORICAL EVOLUTION OF THE UNITED NATION'S TREATMENT OF REGIONAL ORGANIZATION, AND IN THE ABSTRACT, THE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF UNIVERSAL AND REGIONAL ORGANIZATIONS AS PRIVIDERS OF PEACE AND SECURITY. IT OFFERS A CASE STUDY OF CENTRAL AMERICA OVER THE LAST 15 YEARS WITHIN THE ARENA OF POLITICO-MILITARY SECURITY IN ORDER TO SHED LIGHT ON HOW UNIVERSAL AND REGIONAL ORGANIZATIONS COMPLEMENT ONE ANOTHER IN THE SEARCH FOR HUMAN SECURITY. WHILE THE FOCUS IS ON INTERGOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS, THE ROLE OF PRIVATE INSTITUTIONS IS EXPANDING, SO THERE IS A BRIEF TREATMENT OF NONGOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATION AS PARTICIPANTS IN THE PROCESS OF GLOBAL GOVERNANCE. THE CONCLUSION OFFERS SUGGESTIONS ABOUT THE PARAMETERS FOR FUTURE RESEARCH.

GREENING THE UNITED NATIONS: ENVIRONMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS AND THE UN SYSTEM
THIS ARTICLE PROVIDES AN OVERVIEW OF ENVIRONMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS AND THE UN SYSTEM. IT THEN EXPLORES THE EXPERIENCE OF ENVIRONMENTAL GROUPS WITHIN THE SYSTEM. IT NOTES THAT THANKS TO THE EFFORTS OF ENVIRONMENTALISTS, THE GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL GOVERNANCE THAT STATES HAVE MANIFESTLY FAILED TO DELIVER MAY YET BECOME A POSSIBILITY. IF THE UN SYSTEM CAN BE A VEHICLE FOR STRENGTHENING THE DIVERSE VOICES OF ENVIRONMENTALISM WITHOUT HOMOGENIZING THEM, IT WILL HAVE MADE A MAJOR CONTRIBUTION TOWARDS THAT END.

LIBERALISM AT THE GLOBAL LEVEL: THE LAST OF THE INDEPENDENT COMMISSIONS?
THE AUTHOR CRITICALLY SITUATES "OUR GLOBAL NEIGHBORHOOD," THE REPORT OF THE COMMISSION ON GLOBAL GOVERNANCE, IN THE WIDER CONTEXT OF CONTEMPORARY LIBERAL CONSTRUCTION OF WORLD ORDER IN LIGHT OF GLOBALIZING TENDENCIES. THE REPORT FALLS BETWEEN TWO STOOLS; IT IS TOO REFORMIST AND POPULIST TO APPEAL TO ELITES, BUT IT IS NOT RADICAL ENOUGH TO SATISFY ACTIVISTS IN GLOBAL CIVIL SOCIETY. THIS PROBLEM REFLECTS A MORE GENERAL DIFFICULTY FACED BY SOCIAL DEMOCRATIC FORMS OF LIBERAL INTERNATIONALISM.

Should Canada Stay in the G7?
Of course it should. This article asserts that G7 membership benefits Canada, & vice versa, & it outlines the overall contribution of the Summit to the process of global governance. The question of reducing or enlarging the Summit membership is also considered, with special emphasis on China & Russia as candidates for a new G8. The article concludes that the present G7 is important for the coordination of global policies, & that while reform is clearly required, changes in membership clearly are not.

The Diplomacy of Concert: Canada, the G7 and the Halifax Summit
This article maintains that Canada has been largely successful in exercising influence through the Summit process. This success is underscored by the role of the Summit as a center of global governance & Canada's ability, within this setting, to assert its interests through the formation of fluid coalitions. Given Canada's past performance & its status as host of the Halifax Summit, Canadian participation can again be expected to be successful & influential in a number of issue areas including reform of both international financial & development institutions, international trade, & peacekeeping. Tables. Adapted from the source document.
