Contemporary Dilemmas in Canadian Security Lecture Series
Beginning in the autumn of 2003, YCISS is pleased to offer a public lecture series on contemporary issues in Canadian security, to be held in a variety of appropriate venues around Toronto. The series will feature two lectures a year, each exploring a current dilemma facing Canadian defence and security. The goal of the series is to raise public awareness of the issues we face, as Canadians, and to contribute to the public discussion of those issues. YCISS takes an expansive view of the nature of security in the contemporary world, and the lectures in the series will reflect that breadth. The lecturers will be drawn from York University, across Canada, and around the world to provide informative, challenging reflections on the issues of the day.
The Contemporary Dilemmas in Canadian Security Lecture Series:
Guns and Global Security: From Neighbourhoods to the United Nations
Thursday 22 April 2010
7-9pm
Marriott Hotel Eaton Centre
525 Bay Street
Toronto
(Free Admission)
The problem of 'civilian possession' of firearms has undermined global and national efforts at controlling small arms and light weapons. Canada is a producer and exporter of arms, as well as a recipient of both legal and less than legal transfers of weapons, mainly from the United States. For Canadians this has translated into greater numbers of guns on our city streets, and a more dangerous environment for our military forces when they are deployed abroad. The problem of ‘civilian possession' of firearms is to be addressed at multilateral arms control negotiations under the UN Programme of Action on Small Arms & Light Weapons (SLAW) and the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT). This forum seeks to explore the relationship of civilian possession of arms and problems of control, both domestic and international for creating conditions of security and insecurity. The questions that we raise are the following:
- How to interpret the concept of ‘civilian possession’ under the UN Programme of Action on Small Arms and Light Weapons?
- What are the problems with ‘civilian possession’ of small arms and light weapons that the Canadian Forces face?
- What are the problems and prospects of regulating small arms proliferation within Canada and the United States?
- How the problem of ‘civilian possession’ of weapons in Canada and the US needs to be addressed by state and non-state actors ?
- What effect will this have on arms trade as practiced by Canada and the United States?

The YCISS Contemporary Dilemmas in Canadian Security Lecture Series:
The Culture, Technology, and Ethics of Virtuous War
Dr. James Der Derian
Thursday 21st January 2010
7-9pm
Theatre Room
Marriott Hotel Eaton Centre
525 Bay Street
Toronto
(Free Admission)
Questions of war and peace are now framed by technological, cultural, and ethical imperatives. From the Gulf War to the Iraq War, the United States perfected new technologies, under the auspices of a ‘revolution in military affairs’, to fight virtuous wars. Technology in the service of virtue gave rise to a new configuration of virtual power, the military-industrial-media-entertainment network. After winning the short battle of ’shock and awe’ in Iraq but losing the long war to bring democracy and peace to the Middle East, the U.S. military began a controversial program to ‘operationalize’ culture as an instrument of counterinsurgency and counterterrorism; anthropologists, political scientists and anthropologists are enlisted in the effort. As war goes virtual and cultural in the name of justice, unintended and tragic consequences result.
Dr. James Der Derian is Research Professor of International Studies at Brown University, where he directs the Innovating Global Security and Media Project at the Watson Institute for International Studies. His recent publications include, Virtuous War: Mapping the Military-Industrial-Media-Entertainment Network, New York (Routledge, 2009); Critical Practices in International Theory (Routledge, 2009), and AntiDiplomacy: Spies, Terror, Speed, & War (Blackwell, 1992). He is also the producer of three documentary films, VirtualY2K (2000), After 9/11 (2003) and Human Terrain (2009).

The pressures of environmental change and increasing economic activity in the North have raised numerous issues around sovereignty and governance in the Arctic. This has led to debates amongst states, multinational corporations, and Northern communities about how this region should be managed. Canada's position has been that it has sovereignty over the North West Passage and it is investing heavily in military resources to demonstrate this control. What does this mean for international law, and is it the best way to govern the North?
The York Centre for International and Security Studies is hosting a panel discussion of these important issues. The discussion will begin with a talk by Dr. Michael Byers from the University of British Columbia, one of Canada's leading experts on Arctic sovereignty and international law. Responding to Dr. Byers will be Martin Shadwick, of York University, a foremost scholar of Canada's defence and security policy, together with representatives from the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade and the Department of National Defence.
This is an important debate that will have a long lasting impact on Canada's place in the world. This public panel discussion, followed by a question and answer session, will allow you to learn what is at stake in the debate over Arctic sovereignty.

Extraordinary rendition, security certificates, racial profiling and no fly lists – these terms have all taken on a new meaning in Canada since 9/11. After four years of living with the ‘new normal’, where does Canada stand? Observers point to Guantanamo Bay and other U.S. run detention centres around the world where over 3,000 ‘enemy combatants’ and suspected terrorists are being held without trial. But what of Canadian jails, where several Muslim men are being held as a threat to security – for four years and counting – without charges and without knowledge of the evidence against them? While no fly lists can be effective and contribute to greater safety, are they in fact casting too wide a net? Can Canadian democracy justify detention without trial? Can we justify extradition to countries like Syria where interrogation with torture is practiced? Or is it reasonable to expect some limits on human rights to contain terrorist threats to our security?

Cynthia Enloe holds a Ph.D from the University of California and is Research Professor at Clark University in Massachusetts. Her research and teaching have focused on the interplay of women's politics in the national and international arenas, with special attention to how women's labour is made cheap in globalized factories, how women's emotional and physical labour has been used to support governments' war-waging policies - and how many women have tried to resist those efforts. Racial, class, ethnic and national identities and pressures shaping ideas about femininities and masculinities have been common threads throughout her studies. Among her nine books are Bananas, Beaches and Bases: Making Feminist Sense of International Politics (1989) and Maneuvers: The International Politics of Militarizing Women's Lives (2000). Her newest book is The Curious Feminist: Searching for Women in a New Age of Empire (University of California Press, 2004).

With the formal announcement of the creation of the Department of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness (DPSEP) by Prime Minister Martin on December 12, 2003, Canada has experienced a major reconfiguration in the institutional structures that are tasked with issues of domestic security. This new "super ministry" has incorporated six existing agencies including Correctional Service Canada, the National Parole Board, the RCMP, the Canadian Security and Intelligence Service, the Office of Critical Infrastructure and Emergency Preparedness, and the Canadian Firearms Centre, as well as creating the Canadian Border Services Agency which combines personnel formerly involved in customs, border inspections, immigration intelligence, and deportations.
Perhaps more importantly though, according to many analysts, is the transformation in Canadian security thinking that has been reflected by these institutional changes and the political consequences of adopting a "homeland security" model for ordinary Canadians. As a result, serious questions are beginning to be raised about the rationale, potential effectiveness, and legitimacy of the DPSEP. Should Canada have adopted the "homeland security" model in confronting domestic security issues given its spotty record in the United States? Will the DPSEP be too large and unwieldy to be effective? How will the DPSEP affect the political and civil rights of Canadian citizens and residents? Are there sufficient oversight mechanisms in place to prevent abuses of power? Does the DPSEP reflect a reasoned response to domestic security concerns or does it symbolize the beginning of the Americanization of Canadian security policy?
This forum will serve as an introduction for interested members of the general public to the DPSEP and the important political issues that it raises within the Canadian and North American post 9/11 contexts.

The Contentious Conflicts and Canadian Society Series:
The Contentious Conflicts series has served as a forum for facilitating constructive public dialogues on highly resonant political and security issues extending from the campus to the national and global levels. It seeks to examine and discuss the mobilization of public support and political action within Canada on issues that are geographically outside of Canada, but which have a significant impact on Canadian security, defence and foreign policies by virtue of their relevance to civil society groups, NGOs, diaspora representatives and other political organizations.
YCISS Contentious Conflicts and Canadian Society Series:
Haiti: The Mobilization of Aid, Public Discourses and Political Action within CanadaThursday 11 February 2010
2pm- 3.45pm
Room 519, 5th Floor
York Research Tower (YRT)
York University
The earthquake in Haiti and the subsequent human suffering calls for a critical analysis of the hegemonic representations of Haiti’s history, poverty and political disempowerment. It is in this context that we need to examine how mobilization of aid is occurring through the media, diasporas, NGOs, the military - particularly the Canadian Forces - and other government institutions, and to what effect.
Of crucial importance is the question concerning the politically and ideologically motivated agendas of the international community, one that appears now to be coming to the aid of the Haitians.
On Thursday 11 February 2010, YCISS hosted a roundtable discussion on the current situation in Haiti and its future. The discussion involved the following participants:
Dr Manuel Rozental
Dr Melanie Newton, University of Toronto
Dr Nalini Persram (Chair), York University

The Sri Lankan Civil War and the Politics of Conflict in Canada
Wednesday 2nd December 2009
4.30-6.30pm
YRT Conference Centre
Room 519, 5th Floor, York Research Tower (YRT)
The Government of Sri Lanka and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam have waged a civil war against each other for several decades. The experiences and effects of the violence of this conflict have been registered in the lives of Tamil and Sinhalese diaspora living in Canada.
As part of the YCISS Contentious Conflicts and Canadian Society Series this panel discussion explored how diasporas affected by the Sri Lankan civil war mobilize to shape public opinion and influence official views and policy.
Key questions addressed were:
1) How is the civil war in Sri Lanka represented by the diaspora living in Canada?
2) What are the political options for members of a diaspora in terms of both direct and indirect action and can they exert a positive influence on Canadian foreign and domestic policies?
3) What should be the policy response in Ottawa to calls for intervention or action from diasporas in Canada?
4) How can the diasporas contribute to developing an effective and peaceful response to the problems within the community in both Sri Lanka and Canada?
5) What should be the role of universities in providing a space for the debate of contentious conflicts within Canadian society?
The panel consisted of representatives from the communities affected by the violence, subject matter experts and members of organisations with knowledge of the conflict and its impact on Canadian society.
The panel included the following:
Dr R. Cheran, University of Windsor
Ken Kandeepan, Canadian Tamil Congress
Stewart Bell, National Post
John Argue, Amnesty International
Clem Marshall, Moderator

YCISS Contentious Conflicts and Canadian Society Series:
A Debate on the Academic Boycott of Israel
Moot Court, Osgoode Hall
York University
Monday, 11 May 2009
4:30-6:30pm
Boycotts have emerged in recent decades as a means of developing grassroots opposition to certain politics and practices. Often these boycotts are directed at firms or industries in the name of environmental or humanitarian goals. In the past few months, framed as an attempt to build on the successes of a similarly structured campaign against historic South African apartheid, calls for the boycotting of Israeli academic institutions have been raised in Canadian universities as a response to the military action in Gaza.
Boycotts raise fundamental issues for universities and other academic institutions: how do boycotts affect a university's commitment to free speech and inquiry? To what degree should public universities be considered as state institutions, and are they appropriate targets for boycotts which oppose state policy? Are boycotts a sustainable and peaceful way for intellectuals to intervene in conflicts or are they counter-productive?
Following recent seminars on the boycott theme by Omar Barghouti and Edward Beck, YCISS invited the community to come together for a respectful yet rigorous debate about the questions that the boycott issue raises for Canadian universities.
The panel-style debate explored themes of academic freedom and repression in relation to calls for an academic boycott of Israel, with an emphasis on the role and responsibilities of Canadian universities.
The guest speakers included:
Dr. Abigail Bakan Professor of Political Studies and Women's Studies, Faculty of Arts and Science, Queen's University
Dr Howard Adelman Professor of Philosophy, Faculty of Arts, York University
Dr. Clive Seligman Professor of Psychology, Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Western Ontario
Dr. Alan Sears Associate Professor Sociology, Faculty of Arts, Ryerson University

The YCISS High School Outreach Program is part of our centre’s effort to share our research expertise and to foster an informed public discussion on issues of Canadian and world politics, security, and defence. The High School Outreach Program is specifically designed to increase links between the research community and the local student communities by having our centre members volunteer to visit high school classrooms (Grade 11 and 12). These researchers will lead sessions on issues related to their research which intersect with the curriculum in Canadian and world issues. Through this program, we hope to assist teachers in their efforts to provide students with an understanding of and ability to critically reflect on their location in the world community. This will be accomplished by providing students with an opportunity to engage with scholars involved in the production of innovative research on issues pertaining to Canadian and international politics, security, and defence. Importantly, this program is also intended as an interactive avenue to introduce, attract, and prepare students for further studies at the postsecondary level.
If you have any projects that would fall under this category or any other proposals for community outreach please contact Chris Hendershot, the Assistant Director of SDF Programming ( hender@yorku.ca) or the YCISS Centre Coordinator (yciss@yorku.ca) or by phone: (416) 736-2100.
Any YCISS members interested in being involved as presenters for this program should contact the Assistant Director of SDF Programming to have themselves listed on the website.
While the specifics and logistics of our partnership are meant to remain flexible in order to better meet the needs of participating schools and classrooms as best we can, we are expecting the visit of our centre members to take place during a single class-period. Guest speakers are encouraged to design the format of their visit (e.g. short talk with discussion period, workshop, simulation, film/video/photography/performance art followed by a discussion, etc.) based on their own interests and to the likelihood of attracting the students’ attention and participation.
Previously offered presentations/lectures/workshops have included:
Canada's involvement in Afghanistan
A discussion on (global) systems of militarization and structures of militarism. More specifically, this discussion will endeavour to provide students with alternative critical approaches to Canada's involvement in Afghanistan, especially the consequences related to Canada's assumption of a more robust combat role than in previous missions.
