An alternative approach to Canadian Foreign and Security policy in a post 9-11 world

This work is an examination of, and call to re-formulate Canadian strategies within three current areas in Canadian Security and Foreign policy, ie. Counter-Terrorism, Foreign Aid, and the issue of Canadian sovereignty in the Northwest Passage. The underlying purpose of this work is to, using the framework of leadership-fellowship theory, try to utilize these three policy areas to help attain greater security for Canada in a post 9-11 world through soft-power or diplomatic and policy-making alternatives, rather than relying on strictly hard power alternatives which Canada is embarrassingly incapable of wielding on the international stage in the early years of this twenty-first century.
