Driven Apart
Women’s Employment Equality
and Child Care in Canadian
Public Policy
Annis May Timpson
Annis May Timpson demonstrates how Canadian
women’s calls for family-friendly employment policies
have translated into inaction or inappropriate action
on the part of successive federal governments. She
focuses on debates, public inquiries, and policy evolution
during the Trudeau, Mulroney, and Chrétien
eras, contextualizing these developments with a discussion
of the changing patterns of women’s employment
since the Second World War. Driven Apart
explains why the federal governments have been
able to implement equity policies but have failed to
develop a national system of child care.
Annis May Timpson teaches Canadian Studies at the
University of Sussex.

Canada and the Beijing
Conference on Women
Governmental Politics and
NGO Participation
Elizabeth Riddell-Dixon
This book examines how Canada’s policies for the
Fourth World Conference on Women were formulated:
a process that involved federal government
officials, provincial representatives, and non-governmental
organizations (NGOs) from across Canada.
Riddell-Dixon relates the findings of her study to two
broad concerns in Canadian foreign policy making.
First, she assesses the relative importance of both
developments in the international arena and of
domestic pressures in determining foreign policy.
Second, she considers the effectiveness of government
efforts to democratize foreign policy.
Elizabeth Riddell-DIxon is an Associate Professor in the
Department of Political Science, University of Western
Ontario.

Ethics and Security in
Canadian Foreign Policy
Edited by Rosalind Irwin
This book presents an informed analysis of the everevolving
nexus of ethics, security, and international
relations. Organized thematically, the chapters
include both theoretical and policy-relevant commentaries
on Canadian nuclear policy, democratization,
human rights, economic security and development,
the environment, peacekeeping, and humanitarian
intervention. Particular concepts – soft power, moral
vision, good governance, middle powermanship,
humane internationalism, and niche diplomacy – are
examined with reference to their implications for
Canadian foreign policy making.
