| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Since the Mulroney government oriented Canada decisively toward
the Americas by joining the Organization of American States in 1990,
democracy promotion in the region has been an important activity, at least
rhetorically, of both Conservative and Liberal governments.1
This has never
been more so than with the present Conservative government of Prime
Minister Stephen Harper, who signaled early on that democracy support
would be both a key priority for its foreign policy and, more speci?cally, for
Canada's reengagement with the Americas. |
