Pacification Through Humanitarian Aid: Examining Canada’s Security-Development Role in Haiti
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This project investigates the ways in which the logics of security have influenced Canadian foreign development policies and practices.In particular, it examines what has become known as the security-development nexus (Duffield, 2001), and how this nexus has precipitated a shift in the role of Canadian nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) involved in the restructuring of Haiti.I offer a parallel reading of the history of policing/security and development and reposition questions about the contemporary security-development nexus within a long-established political and economic process anticipated by notions of security forged during the Enlightenment.This imperial thinking has produced a multiplicity of pacification projects that include Haiti.Thus, I show that the work of contemporary Canadian NGOs in Haiti can be better understood within the broad historical project of police science.scholarly development that will forever remain with me.Likewise, Dr. Dominique Marshall's guidance on matters of humanitarianism and truly genuine interest in my project and academic development is beyond measure.Combined, Dr. Marshall's passion for the history of humanitarianism and Dr. Rigakos' critical Marxist engagement with security and policing helped me to find and clarify my own research passion.Thank you both.And a warm thank you to Dr. Augustine Park for your insightful and challenging comments and questions during the defence.You have left me with much to think about moving forward.To Ian, you're excitement at the prospect of my return to school in 2013 and your assistance in the drafting of early graduate school proposals has not gone unnoticed.It was, in fact, one of the most significant contributions to my early success and transition back into academia.Indeed, you are a gentleman and a scholar.To my mom and dad, you're immediate encouragement of my, albeit slightly hesitant, decision to act on my inclination to pursue graduate studies is one of my fondest memories.I have always placed the greatest value in your opinions and perspectives on life.And Melanie, you are the best sister a brother can have and your regular iteration of your pride for me never grows old.In many and often un-assumed ways, some of the most regular and passing interactions with my classmates, professors, and friends routinely provided the needed momentum to persevere through the trials and tribulations of graduate school.Also, I would be remiss if I did not extend my utmost gratitude to Kara Brisson-Boivin for her advice on how to approach potential interviewees and the resources she provided.Thank you, Kara.Last, but certainly not least, to Hilary.You are the love of my life, my best friend, and my confidant.Just as my Master's experience was getting started, yours was coming to a

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
