Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract This article discusses how Canada has become an independent voice internationally and how it has achieved a delicate balance between globalism and continentalism that has marked its role during the post-1945 period. It also discusses how foreign policy is made within Canada's confederal system. In the sections that follow, the discussion focuses on defining Canadian foreign policy in broad terms. The core issue of the article is the growing challenge of defining a coherent Canadian “national interest,” given the increased activism of provinces within the international arena, the demands to democratize the foreign policy process, and the diverse nature of Canada's population. The final discussion of the article determines the issues and challenges that are faced by policy makers in the twenty-first century, a period in which Canada's diplomatic partner—the United States—is experiencing a crisis in its global leadership role.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
