A parliamentarian's warning from inside Canada's democracy At a moment when democratic institutions face increasing strain, The Rule of Law: Religion, Nationalism, and Abuses of History gathers decades of parliamentary speeches and reflections that confront one enduring question: What sustains the rule of law? Drawn from service in the Senate of Canada, these speeches trace the fault lines of modern political life: nationalism and democracy, Quebec and constitutional change, foreign policy and moral responsibility, war crimes legislation, peacekeeping, NATO expansion, and Canada's evolving place in the world. Moving between domestic debate and international crisis, the author returns repeatedly to a central concern: how fragile legal and democratic norms can become when history is misused and power goes unchecked. Both a record of public life and a meditation on governance, The Rule of Law: Religion, Nationalism, and Abuses of History offers readers an inside view of parliamentary debate at the end of the twentieth century -- and a timely reflection on the precarious state of the rule of law in our own time.

International Education as Public Policy in Canada
In the early twenty-first century international education emerged as an almost ubiquitous concept within discussions of educational curriculum&#x3b; the objectives of schools, universities, and colleges&#x3b; and government policies for K-12 and higher education. Although far from a new phenomenon, many jurisdictions now view international education as a highly competitive global industry. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of international education policy in Canada, tracing the complex history of when, how, and why it emerged as a policy area of strategic importance. Illuminating a uniquely Canadian perspective, influenced by regional interests and federal-provincial tensions, International Education as Public Policy in Canada addresses challenging questions: Why was Canada a latecomer in addressing this policy issue? What is the relationship between international education and Canadian immigration policy? How did international education develop as a major Canadian industry? The resulting essays from leading scholars contribute not only to the growing Canadian literature on international education policy but also to a critical, global conversation. Contemplating where the Canadian story of international education is headed, International Education as Public Policy in Canada calls for a broader debate on ethical practices in internationalization, focusing on inclusion, equity, compassion, and reciprocity.
