Abstract
This paper discusses public service administration in Canada. The two models that are examined are new public management and the emerging governance model. It is argued at the end of the paper that new public management works better for Canada. The paper explains that this is because it needs a strong centralized government.
From the Paper
"Public service administration systems have been changing on a fundamental level. While public service administration and governance in most countries was seen in a relatively straight forward way, new models of governance and public service administration have been developing. These models tend to look at public service administration and governance in more complex and inclusive ways. For example, in "Public Service Ethics in a Changing World" Alan Lawton states; The domains of the private corporation and of public service are merging in western democracies. Increasingly the so-called public sector is becoming more business-like, with the introduction of competition, output measures and corporate management styles.""

Abstract
This fourteen page undergraduate paper examines Canada and globalization. The author notes that proponents of globalization and many free trade theorists contend that global trade creates enough economic gains that every Canadian involved can benefit, as long as the gains are widely redistributed between national trading partners. The writer points out that unfortunately, globalization cannot guarantee that this redistribution will actually occur, and its proponents are limited to predictions that there will be winners and losers in all participating countries involved in free trade.

"Proponents of globalization and many free trade theorists contend that global trade creates enough economic gains that every Canadian involved can benefit, as long as the gains are widely redistributed between national trading partners. Unfortunately, globalization cannot guarantee that this redistribution will actually occur, and its proponents are limited to predictions that there will be winners and losers in all participating countries involved in free trade. These advocates of globalization studiously avoid admitting that many of the losers are and will be average working Canadians, while many of the winners will be people in the upper income brackets, often in other countries."

From the Paper
"The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation is the government-operated television and radio system in Canada, a form of public broadcasting analogous to PBS and NPR in the United States and to the dual services of the BBC in Great Britain. The system in Canada has been developed both to provide service to regions of the vast country that otherwise might not be served, to provide specialized services to specialized populations, and overall to project a positive sense of what it is to be a Canadian. The latter element is in part derived from a continuing concern about the power of the American broadcast media and American culture in general, and the desire for protecting Canadian culture and for promoting Canadian content is very much an element in the operation of the CBC in all of its ramifications. An analysis..."

"HUMAN RIGHTS IN CANADIAN FOREIGN POLICY: AN ANALYTICAL ASSESSMENT WITH RECOMMENDED POLICY CHANGES
Introduction
Canada enjoys a positive international reputation in relation to human rights. The world generally perceives Canada as a country with a human face that protects the human rights of its own citizens while pursuing international relations through policies designed to promote human rights in all countries. Within Canada, however, political and social factions disagree with respect to both the comprehensiveness and the effectiveness of Canada's accommodation of human rights objectives in its foreign policy (Black, 2001).
This paper examines the issue of the comprehensiveness and the effectiveness of Canada's accommodation of human rights ..."

Abstract
This paper explores the changes and continuities in Canadian foreign policy between 1990 and 2003 by focusing on four significant international event. The writer discusses the events of the first Gulf War of 1990-91; the Kosovo Crisis of the late 1990s; the war in Afghanistan and the war in Iraq. This paper argues that Canadian levels of participation in each affair were determined more by a sense of "Canadian" values - and a realization of the limits of Canadian power - than by any other group of factors.
From the Paper
"Canadian foreign policy - at least since the dawn of the 1990s - may best be described as confused. Despite our lofty rhetoric about making a difference in the affairs of states, Canada's long-time cannibalization of its armed forces has too often reduced it to a bit player in peace-keeping operations - and in world affairs more generally. This paper will explore Canadian foreign policy decisions vis-a-vis four recent international events - the Gulf War of 1990-91, the 1999 Kosovo War, the 2001 War in Afghanistan, and the controversial decision in 2003 to stay away from any military entanglements in Iraq."

Canadian Immigration Policy, 2008.

Abstract
This paper looks at the evolution of the Canadian immigration policy since the Second World War. Specifically, it discusses the dramatic shift which took place in the 1960s as Canada began to move away from its old preferential immigration policy under the Pearson government. Further, the paper analyzes how political, economic and demographic factors created a remarkable amount of momentum for policies which opened the doors (and kept them open) for non-European arrivals from the latter 1960s onward.
From the Paper
"Lastly, Canada has moved substantially towards an immigration policy that permits family reunification for all immigrants - especially global south immigrants - with very few restrictions. In light of the fact that so many of today's immigrants are non-European (and, as noted previously, this has been the case since at least the middle-1970s), the end result is that this bit of Canadian policy-making has bolstered the already-high numbers of non-European groups within Canada. In the end, it would seem evident that successive Canadian governments - whether Conservative or Liberal - have embraced multicultural immigration because the swiftly-changing demographics of the land (and a new political landscape) leaves them no choice but to indulge non-Caucasian and non-European citizens."

Canadian Immigration Policy, 2008.
This paper explores anti-Chinese sentiment and Canadian immigration policy during 1885 to 1923.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper looks at Canada's immigration policy in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and argues that Canada's racist immigration policies towards the Chinese were also instrumentalist in the sense that certain types of Chinese were allowed into the country if it was felt they could benefit business interests. The paper explores some of the controversies which compelled politicians at both levels of government to act as they did.
From the Paper
"The simple reality is that Canadian immigration policy during the early years of the twentieth century was driven as much by economic and practical considerations as it was driven by racial and/or cultural considerations - albeit, at least in the case of the Chinese, these items still played a role in the determination of who entered Canada and who did not. For example, Clifford Sifton pursued an immigration policy that sought out farmers from Eastern Europe on the grounds that a) they would be good farmers and diligent labourers; and b) their experiences on the rugged Canadian farmland - experiences shared by most other Canadians - would gradually allow for their assimilation into the larger English-Canadian community (Knowles, para.4)."

Immigration Policy and Canadian Nation-Building, 2008.
This paper discusses the immigration policy in Canada as it relates to Canadian nation-building.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This essay critically examines the issue of immigration and Canadian nation-building within a sociological perspective. A particular focus of the paper is on the contradiction between the ideal of immigration, as reflected in the changes to immigration policy in the 1960s and the introduction of official multiculturalism in the 1970s, and the realities of immigration in regard to its being embedded in the social class and power distribution structures of Canada. In this context, the paper argues that in our capitalist society immigration policy has primarily served the interests of capital in the form of labor force reproduction. This being said, it is then argued that the existence of a multicultural and multiracial society represents a clear challenge to the existing power distribution in Canadian society; a challenge that has been met by policies such as official multiculturalism which are instruments by which the capitalist state seeks to control and channel dissent and thereby ensure the perpetuation of the Canadian status quo.
From the Paper
"Thus, the labour force of Canada was not biologically reproducing itself on a generational basis by the later decades of the twentieth century. In order to meet this shortfall, the Government of Canada resorted to immigration to supply a labour force to meet the demands of the Canadian economy. These demands are complex, for the Labour Force Reproduction model indicates that the economy needs a labour supply not only in terms of production but also to consume the goods produced. As a result, in the years in which the Canadian fertility rates were declining (after 1956) the Canadian immigration levels were increasing. From 1954 to 1992 Canada accepted 5.7 million immigrants. These immigrants fulfilled a wide number of economic roles in Canadian society, from contributing as business class immigrants and supplying entrepreneurial investment funds, to those who work in the commercial and corporate sectors. In addition, we must not forget the significant numbers of immigrants who worked as unpaid labour - often women - and so subsidized the paid labour force in Canada."

American Impact on Canadian Foreign Policy, 2004.
Examines the extent of the United States' influence on Canada's international relations with other countries.

Abstract
The relationship between the United States and Canada is extremely close, perhaps the closest and most extensive in the world. This is reflected in the volume of trade (over $ 1.4 billion a day) and the number of people (over 200 million a year) who cross the U.S.-Canadian border. Both countries have been members of international alliances such as NATO and NAFTA. This paper shows that, despite the close relationship, it would not be wrong to say that the association between the two neighbors also has a love-hate aspect to it. This is not unexpected, given the overwhelming political, military, and economic power of the United States and the national sensitivities of the Canadians, who are concerned about being taken for granted. Canada has, therefore, pursued a largely independent foreign policy. This paper discusses the extent of the United States? influence on Canadian foreign policy.

Limitations of U.S. Influence on Canadian Foreign Policy
From the Paper
"The examples of Canadian resistance to demands of the United States regarding its foreign policy illustrate the limitations of US influence on Canada. Being its biggest trading partner, the United States does have some economic leverage in making Canada change its policies. However, with a weakened economy, the US too needs trade with Canada to flourish. And as its trade disputes with the US on export of softwood lumbar and farm subsidies show, Canada is not easily cowed down and is prepared to fight back in matters relating to trade."

Canadian Immigration Policy, 2002.
Examines how immigration policy in Canada overlooks gender issues.
2,150 words (approx. 8.6 pages), 13 sources, $ 80.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains how Canadian immigration policy does not address matters of gender, for immigrants still tend to be looked at in generic ways. At different points, it is stressed too that studies of immigrant and refugee conditions have sometimes tended to lump refugee women into categories that have already been in place that have more to do with a general concern for inequality at large, racism and sexism. Resettlement in Canada can be a challenging and troubling experience for women and it is stressed that women need not be asylum-seekers in order to find immigration to Canada a project that exceeds what they have expected.
