Canada and the World, Ep. 33: How does the world see Canada? A podcast series from OpenCanada.org and the Balsillie School of International Affairs. Is Canada the idealistic, ambitious, liberal country it purports to be when it comes to its role in the world? Does the world see it that way? Not a simple question. This episode brings four critical thinkers together to break down the questions, myths and popular ideas surrounding Canada’s interaction on the global stage. How does the view of Canada vary depending on who is doing the looking, from friendly state allies to the foreign societies where Canadian actors are involved? If Canada is seen as one of the last defenders of liberal democracy, is it hypocritical or has it delivered? And, especially during election time, why does Canada promise to “punch above its weight,” when limited resources and security considerations mean priorities are necessary? Listen as Christian Leuprecht, Claire Wählen, Aisha Ahmad and Steve Saideman join Bessma Momani in Ottawa to discuss.

Lost to many whose news sources in the USA consists of the major newspapers and the standard networks, for most of the last dozen+ years, the conflict in Afghanistan has not been a USA-Centric battle; it has been a NATO run operation.When the Commander of the International Security Assistance Force has been an American 4-star, the visuals can be misleading.For most of the last decade, American forces were dominate in only one region of Afghanistan, the east. Other NATO nations from Italy/Spain in the west, Germany in the North, and Commonwealth nations and the Dutch in the south.More important than the actual numbers involved, it was the Rules of Engagement, caveats, and the fickle nature of national politics that drove what effects those forces had on the ground.The good, the bad, and the ugly of modern coalition warfare was all in view for all in Afghanistan, but outside small circles, has yet to be fully discussed.Our guest for the full hour will be Stephen Saideman.Stephen holds the Paterson Chair in International Affairs at Carleton University’s Norman Paterson School of International Affairs.  He has written The Ties That Divide: Ethnic Politics, Foreign Policy and International Conflict and For Kin or Country: Xenophobia, Nationalism and War (with R.
