Fixing Haiti: MINUSTAH and Beyond
At a time when a new president has taken office in Haiti and the UN Secretary-General has appointed a new head of MINUSTAH, this book’s release is particularly timely. The volume brings together some of the world’s leading specialists on Haiti, from both Haiti and abroad, to examine the challenges Haiti faces today and what they entail for the international community. Even before the devastating earthquake of January 2010, Haiti was a “fragile” state ⎯ the poorest country in the Western hemisphere, plagued by decades of complex political crises and suffering from severe social problems. Since 2004, the United Nations has been in Haiti through MINUSTAH – and many of the UN team died in the earthquake. This volume, edited by CIGI Distinguished Fellow Jorge Heine and Programme Officer for the Global Governance Programmes at the Balsillie School of International Affairs Andrew S. Thompson, examines the performance of the UN and other key hemispheric actors in helping Haiti both before and in the aftermath of the earthquake.
The Dark Side of Globalization
The dark side of globalization includes transnational terrorism, increased drug and human trafficking, money laundering and global pandemics. Published by the UN University Press in cooperation with CIGI, this new book asks how governments, international organizations and civil society can mute the baleful effects of globalization while maximizing the beneficial consequences.
Which Way Latin America? Hemispheric Politics Meets Globalization
Foreign Affairs and Americas Quarterly recently reviewed Which Way Latin America, edited by CIGI Distinguished Fellows Andrew F. Cooper and Jorge Heine. The book provides up-to-date analysis of the new sources of political power and allegiances in Latin America today.
On the Manner of Practising the New Diplomacy
The traditional model of diplomacy, founded on the principles of national sovereignty and of statecraft, is becoming less relevant as a field of new, influential actors enter the international system. Diplomats must now engage a vastly larger number of players in host countries, as the age-old "club model" of diplomacy gives way to a less hierarchical "network model." This paper calls for a new approach - one in which diplomats project their nation's values and interests to the growing field of international players, focusing on a critical set of issue areas of special relevance to the mission.
