Tariffs between the United States and Canada are again testing one of the world’s closest economic partnerships. New U.S. actions targeting select Canadian imports, along with Canada’s retaliatory measures on certain U.S. products, have moved the dispute beyond trade policy and into the everyday concerns of manufacturers, farmers, retailers and consumers on both sides of the border. The issue also arrives as the United States, Canada and Mexico assess the future of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, making trade negotiations a significant government and diplomatic priority. From a government perspective, tariffs are being used as leverage to address market access, domestic production and perceived unfair treatment of national industries. From an economic perspective, however, the costs can spread quickly through integrated supply chains—particularly in automotive manufacturing, steel and aluminum, agriculture, energy and consumer goods. Companies may face higher input costs and greater uncertainty, while households could see higher prices or fewer choices. The central question is whether tariff pressure will produce a negotiated resolution—or prolong a dispute that affects businesses and consumers in both countries.

Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, have returned to England with their children for an extended stay after more than six years living in California. While the family is not expected to resume official working roles within the royal family, the move places them again at the center of ongoing public interest in the British monarchy and its future. The return comes amid continued strain between the Sussexes and other members of the royal family, alongside Prince Harry’s expressed desire for reconciliation with his father, King Charles III. Their renewed presence in the United Kingdom raises questions about the monarchy’s public image, the role of nonworking royals and how personal relationships within the royal family may shape public perception in the months ahead.

But because the internet is a two-way street, does that mean it’s easier for counter terrorism organizations to track their enemy? Not necessarily, says Glen Duerr, an assistant professor of international studies at Cedarville University.
“We can imagine that it’s probably fairly easy to track (social media use) in a way. On the other hand, a lot of communication is done via code, or it’s done as a call to do something rather than systematically training someone,” he said...

Chrétien and the Commonwealth: Successes and failures in Canada's role as a middle power
Canadian Studies2013
Jean Chrétien’s decade-long tenure as Canadian prime minister was marked with numerous overtures for Canada to pursue a path as a “middle power” in world affairs through leadership in multilateral institutions. Specifically, this paper investigates Chrétien’s position within the Commonwealth of Nations as part of this overarching strategy. This analysis finds that Chrétien’s government had a number of noteworthy successes in advancing Nigerian democracy, and garnering support for other international issues in the United Nations — such as the Anti-Personal Mine Ban Convention. However, Chrétien had a number of failures including an inability and unwillingness to press for meaningful reforms in Zimbabwe, stopping the genocide in Rwanda, and stopping civil wars throughout the Commonwealth.
Sovereignty issues in the Caucasus: Contested ethnic and national identities in Chechnya, Abkhazia, and South Ossetia
Sprawy Narodowościowe (Issues of Nationality)2016
The issue of sovereignty has been at the forefront of regional politics in the Caucasus since the dissolution of the USSR in 1991. In particular, the Russian government has approached various—seemingly similar cases—in very different ways. Although each specific region examined—Chechnya, Abkhazia, and South Ossetia—is unique, the nature of ethnic and national identity has been framed differently by the Russian government. In Chechnya, the Putin administration has framed any outstanding separatist claims in conjunction with terrorism and national security issues. In Abkhazia and South Ossetia, the Putin administration has instead noted the need for “liberation.” The outcome has been to stifle secessionist desires in Chechnya, while supporting those same secessionist desires outside of Russia’s borders, in Abkhazia and South Ossetia.
Civic integration or ethnic segregation? Models of ethnic and civic nationalism in club football
Soccer & Society2016
This essay evaluates the ways that soccer has been used by various actors in the promotion of both ethnic and civic forms of nationalism throughout the world. By focusing on domestic soccer, this paper further investigates the phenomenon of nationalism in the world and provides broader theoretical and practical answers to the questions of integration and ethnic identity. This essay starts by examining the issue of ethnicity in historic and contemporary football, provides a review of the academic literature on ethnic and civic nationalism and then discusses the role of ethnic and civic models of identity within club football. Most notable is a discussion of five categories, which best explain why ethnic nationalism persists, and why it was initially mobilized. The essay then moves to a discussion of why most soccer clubs in the world have made the transition to a more civic form of nationalism. Finally, conclusions are drawn on the issue of ethnic nationalism in domestic football.
