Abstract:	The end of the Cold War led to vastly reduced tensions between the United States and the former Soviet Union. Yet the new era has been marked by the rise of ethnic and religious disputes, as well as tendencies to resort to unilateral and isolationist measures. Such an ongoing tumult of change necessitates that traditional policies be seriously reconsidered and, perhaps, drastically re-evaluated. Old ways of thinking no longer apply to the world we live in. As a country that has historically proposed new ways of thinking about international security, Canada is well placed to help usher in new approaches. This article suggests some strategies that Canada could pursue while it is a member of the United Nations (UN) Security Council over the next 18 months.
