| Canada's approach to human security reflects some genuine concern for the well-being of those living with grave personal insecurity, yet it has a narrow scope of concern about which aspects of human security it is interested in addressing. The evolution of the thick Human Security Agenda largely revolved around the 1994 UN Human Development Report which asserted human security components as economic, food, health, environmental, community, personal and political security. Canada focuses mostly on political and personal security, considering economic, food, health, environmental and community security issues to be less of a concern. We can understand Canada's embrace of thin human security by examining Canada's post-Cold War activities in Haiti after examining some relevant history of the Human Security Agenda, philosophical and theoretical support for competing conceptions of human security, and how neoliberalism affects Canada's view of human security.;Subject Terms: Security, International; Canada; Canada -- Foreign Relations; Economic Security; Neoliberalism; Haiti.;Keywords: Human Security; Canada; Canadian Foreign Policy; Economic Security; Neoliberalism; Haiti. |
