| Abstract: | National sovereignty is being redefined. There is increased willingness to intervene in the affairs of other countries to stop large- scale atrocities. Murderous dictators are no longer safe behind a national shield. Technology has diminished the ability of individual countries to control their own economies. Human security and economic welfare demand greater global co-operation. Government, business, civil society and academia must all participate if Canada is to play its proper role in the quest for a safer and less poverty-stricken world. And our defence, diplomatic and humanitarian resources must be strengthened. Address to the Canadian Club of Toronto, November, 15, 1999. |
