This study examines the experience of Canada in mainstreaming human security concept. It was not a smooth and easy journey for Canada accepting the human security concept and applying it to her foreign policy. Since the inception of the concept by foreign policy circle there was an intense debate whether the concept should be the major principle of Canada’s foreign policy. Internationally, human security policy faced lukewarm responses from international community. Canada needed to have sophisticated strategies to mainstream this new concept. The aim of this paper is to show the importance of careful strategies in promoting new concept as a policy guideline and the role of domestic institutions in that task. In terms of strategies, Canada has promoted human security agenda through multilateral framework. Although U.N. has been a favorite multilateral platform Canada often acted outside existing multilateral fora. Norm making and creating international network with like-minded countries were also major strategies of Canada as shown in landmine ban campaign case in promoting human security agenda. Finally, the partnership with NGO is the most striking feature of Canadian human security policy. Domestic institutions have been instrumental to mainstream human security policy. DFAIT has been a major organizational platform for promoting human security. Other government organizations such as CIDA also played important roles. Also, CCHS as research network funded by DFAIT, has contributed to facilitate the exchange of information on human security issue and to help build a human security community in Canada and internationally.
Abstract
This study examines the experience of Canada in mainstreaming human security concept. It was not a smooth and easy journey for Canada accepting the human security concept and applying it to her foreign policy. Since the inception of the concept by foreign policy circle there was an intense debate whether the concept should be the major principle of Canada’s foreign policy. Internationally, human security policy faced lukewarm responses from international community. Canada needed to have sophisticated strategies to mainstream this new concept. The aim of this paper is to show the importance of careful strategies in promoting new concept as a policy guideline and the role of domestic institutions in that task. In terms of strategies, Canada has promoted human security agenda through multilateral framework. Although U.N. has been a favorite multilateral platform Canada often acted outside existing multilateral fora. Norm making and creating international network with like-minded countries were also major strategies of Canada as shown in landmine ban campaign case in promoting human security agenda. Finally, the partnership with NGO is the most striking feature of Canadian human security policy. Domestic institutions have been instrumental to mainstream human security policy. DFAIT has been a major organizational platform for promoting human security. Other government organizations such as CIDA also played important roles. Also, CCHS as research network funded by DFAIT, has contributed to facilitate the exchange of information on human security issue and to help build a human security community in Canada and internationally.
