Governance and
Innovation in
Africa South Africa after
Mandela

Edited byRobert I. Rotberg

South Africa is no longer the post-apartheid transformational
state over which President Nelson Mandela presided so
magnificently and with such hope. Under his successors, South
Africa has become a slow-growing, often cranky, one-partydominant state that only partially succeeds in providing the basic
education, health services, housing, electrical power and human
security that its 55 million citizens demand and expect.
Moreover, especially under President Jacob Zuma and the
ruling African National Congress (ANC), rampant corruption
engulfs South Africa, distorting priorities and inhibiting
economic growth. Zuma and the ANC are also challenging the
democratic foundations of South Africa, too. This book calls for
a renewed strengthening of governance in the country
for action to be taken before it is too
late.
The chapters in this volume, most written by committed
South Africans, explain how South Africa can bolster its core
governance and improve the lives of its people. This book
presents the key alternatives facing South Africas political rulers
duringtheremainder of this decade and in the decades to come.
Courageous, intelligent, bold and principled political leadership is
required if South Africa is going to build upon Mandelas legacy
and successfully address the major problems that engulf the
nation and restore South Africa to primacy in Africa.

Anonymous. Cybercrime. Hacktivist. Cyber security. Now

part of the lexicon of our daily language, these words were
unknown a decade ago. The evolution and expansion of the
Internet has transformed communication, business and politics,
and the Internet has become a powerful influence on everyday
life globally. But the Internet is a medium that is not controlled by
one centralized system, and the debate over who will govern the
Internet has commanded attention from a wide range of actors,
including states, policy makers and those beyond the traditional
tech industries.
Organized Chaos:
Reimagining the Internet examines the
contemporary international politics of Internet governance
problems, exploring issues such as cybercrime, activities of
the global hacktivist network Anonymous and swing states,
and highlighting central trends that will play a role in
shaping a universal policy to govern the Internet. In this book,
some of the worlds foremost Internet governance scholars
consider the critical problems facing efforts to update and refine
Internet governance at
an international level and the appropriate framework for doing so.
This volume provides the basis for developing a high-level strategic
vision required to successfully navigate a multi-faceted, shifting
and uncertain governance environment.

East Asia Artic

Relations

Boundary, Security and International Politics

Edited by Kimie Hara and Ken Coates
The Arctics profile as a region for opportunity and engagement
is rising among both circumpolar and non-circumpolar states.
Canada, Russia and the United States have expressed a renewed
interest in the region, and East Asian countries such as Japan,
South Korea and China are now increasingly fixated on prospects
offered by the Arctic; however, Arctic and East Asian nations have
not yet engaged in extensive discussions about competing and
complementary activities and responsibilities in the Far North.
This volume is an outcome of an international collaborative
project that launched a focused and detailed conversation about
the historic, contemporary and future dimensions of East Asian
countries relationships and interests in the Arctic. Bringing
together leading experts from Japan, China, South Korea,
Russia, the United States and Canada, it draws policy-making and
scholarly attention to East Asias growing interests in the Far
North, and identifies political, economic, legal and security
connections between the two regions.

A timely and instructive tour dhorizon of evolving Arctic issues from an

informed perspective highlighting East Asian, Russian and North American
dimensions. Sober in tone without being alarmist or drawing premature
conclusions, it opens a refreshingly wide array of topics from climate change,
resource dynamics, shipping routes and territorial claims to governance, local
development and ecospheric- and geopolitics a challenging and distinctively
twenty-first-century agenda.

PaulEvans,Professor, Institute of Asian Research and Liu

Institute for Global Issues, University of British Columbia
Much has been written about the Arctic in recent years; this compendium brings
a fresh view to the issues by giving the reader an opportunity to hear from Asian
contributors. Authors from the United States, Canada and Russia round out the
complex picture that emerges. A must-read for those interested in learning about
power politics at play in this important region, those who are avid Asia watchers
and those following developments in the Arctic.

PRICE: CDN$32
MAY 2014
308 pages, Trade Paperback, 6x9
ISBN 978-1-928096-01-6

Edited by Rohinton Medhora and Dane Rowlands

The financial crisis that erupted in 2008 severely affected the
global economy, plunging most countries into a recession with
aftershocks still being felt today. Canada was able to weather
the crisis well in comparison to many euro-zone countries and
the United States, but it did not escape unscathed. Two major
themes are explored in this volume: Canadas role in the
international financial system and the Canadian policy response
to the global financial crisis. These themes are examined in light
of the shift from the classical gold standard to Bretton Woods
to the non-system of late, the finance-trade crossover agenda,
the changing role of central banks, the European Monetary
Union, developing countries and a post- financial crisis global
political economy. What becomes clear in this volume is that
Canada plays a powerful role, which belies its size, in the
development of the financial system and its regulation at an
international level.

Crisis and Reform: Canada and the International Financial

System
the 28th volume of the influential Canada Among Nations series
examines the global financial crisis through Canadas historical
and current role in the international financial system. Canada
has been held up as a shining example of good governance
during the financial crisis, and its prominent role within
international financial institutions should grow as Canada
continues as a leading player in the global financial system.
Canada Among Nations has been the premier source for
critical insight into Canadian foreign policy issues since 1984. This
volume continues that tradition by providing students, policy
makers and practitioners with a timely compendium of expert
opinion on Canada and its role before, during and after the
global financial crisis.

The Travails of Institutions That Govern

the
Global Financial System
Paul
Blustein
Award-winning journalist and author Paul Blustein has
received wide acclaim for his books about the inner workings of
international economic
institutions,
notably
the
International Monetary Fund and World Trade Organization.
In Off Balance, he weaves a compelling narrative that details the
failings of such institutions in the global financial crisis that
erupted in 2008.
Based on interviews with scores of policy makers and on
thousands of pages of confidential documents to which
Blustein obtained exclusive access, the book focusses mainly
on the IMF and the Financial Stability Forum in the run-up
to and early months of the crisis. Blustein exposes serious
weaknesses in these and other institutions, which lead to
sobering conclusions about the governability of the global
economy.

Much of the worlds ability to mitigate the consequences of its periodic financial
crises depends on the capacity of its multilateral institutions to bridge the
gap between the sovereignty of nations and the inevitable globalization of
their economies. Paul Blusteins extensive experience and his ability to
explain the complex in human terms drives this point home in no uncertain
terms.

Who knew that a detailed account of the regulation of global finance

could actually be...spellbinding. Only Paul Blustein journalist, forensic
economist and financial detective extraordinaire could have possibly
written it. The new revelations based on confidential documents alone are well
worth the price
of entry, although there is much more for the specialist and general reader alike.
Highly recommended.

Blustein combines the journalists story-telling skills with the historians
perspective to relate a story that is still being played out in the G7, G20 and the
Bank for International Settlements, as well as in the IMF and the FSB. His
conclusion is sobering: despite the failings demonstrated before and during the
2008 crisis, the current judgment is mission unaccomplished.

A Diplomats
Handbook

for Democracy Development Support

Jeremy Kinsman
Bassuener

and

Kurt

In recent decades, the conduct of international relations among

and within states has been very considerably altered. Today, the
content of these relations relies as much on international
professional and civil society networks as it does on state-to-state
transactions.

The role of the Internet has been fundamental in widening

communications opportunities for citizens and civil society, with
a profound effect on democracy transition. In consequence,
diplomacy has taken on a much more human and public face.
Twenty-first century ambassadors and diplomats are learning to
engage with civil societies, especially on the large themes of
democratic change an engagement that is often resisted by
authoritarian regimes.
A Diplomats Handbook for Democracy Development Support
presents a wide variety of specific experiences of diplomats on
the ground, identifying creative, human and material resources.
More broadly, it is about the policy-making experience in capitals,
as democratic states try to align national interests and democratic
values. The Handbook also documents the increasingly prominent
role of civil society as the essential building block for successful
democratic transitions, with each case study examining specific
national experiences in the aspiration for democratic and
pluralistic governance, and lessons learned on all sides for
better or for worse.
While each situation is different presenting unique,
unstructured problems and opportunities a review of these
experiences bears out the validity of the authors belief in
the interdependence of democratic engagements, and
provides practitioners with encouragement, counsel and a
greater capacity to support democracy everywhere.

The Handbook was proposed by Community of Democracies

board member and former US Ambassador to Hungary, the
late Mark Palmer. Directed by former Canadian Ambassador to
Russia, the Italian Republic and the European Union, and High
Commissioner to the United Kingdom, Jeremy Kinsman, and
joined by Kurt Bassuener, a political analyst and advocate
based in Sarajevo, this third edition continues to respond to the
need to support reform- minded groups and individuals as they
struggle to introduce and improve democratic governance and
human rights.

Edited by Rohinton Medhora and Yiagadeesen

Samy
Canada Among Nations is the premier source for
contemporary insight into pressing Canadian foreign policy
issues. Started at the Norman Paterson School of International
Affairs at Carleton University, the series has brought
together
leading scholars, practitioners, journalists, and
members of the NGO community for an assessment of the
Canadas foreign policy since 1984. The Centre for International
Governance Innovation is proud to partner with NPSIA, on
previous and future editions of Canada Among Nations.
In this edition, contributors explore Canada and Africas rich
history, taking stock of what has been accomplished. This
volume offers recommendations for a more strategically
beneficial Canada-Africa partnership in areas including trade
and investment, democracy and nation building, development
aid, governance, corporate social responsibility especially in
the natural resource sector where Canadian firms are heavily
invested and regional security.

Former prime minister Paul Martin notes in his preface to the book
that there is and will continue to be a huge role for other countries to
take the lead in providing engineering and financial expertise to big
projects that will become increasingly common as the region develops.
The question is,he writes, will Canada be there?

[The] editors of the book must be

commended for the excellent structure,
organization, and consistency across chapter
contributions to the theme of the book. The
book is a must read for all development
economists and policymakers on both sides. A
good read.

"This edition of Canada Among Nations rightly rejects the notion that
Canada currently has (and only ever had) humanitarian interests in Africa.
Ultimately, this collection will stand or fall on whether it makes a convincing
case that Africa matters to Canada in the 21st century. It has not only
accomplished that task but has also provided convincing evidence of the
entrenched obstacles that prevent many Canadians from seeing interests,
change, and opportunity in Africa and has offered various practical, if at
times contentious or self-serving, policy prescriptions. As Gerald Helleiner
argues in the summary chapter, the aid-based and implicitly patronizing
relationships of the past cannot remain dominant (295). Readers will no
doubt agree."
