| Summary/Abstract |
Even though they claim to recognize that the boundaries between domestic and international security have eroded, scholars of Canadian paradiplomacy have tended to ignore the security-oriented paradiplomatic activities undertaken by sub-national actors in Canada. However, policing paradiplomacy is, in our view, a perfect case for understanding how paradiplomacy in security can change the relationship between the state and its citizens. Through an examination of the paradiplomatic activities of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the Sûreté du Québec, and the Vancouver Police, we show how the role of the informal, the danger of mission creep, and the shaping of foreign policy from the margins work to shift how we think about where foreign policy happens.

| Summary/Abstract |
The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) is a place where states can seek international status by campaigning for its elected seats. I understand status as membership in a club and examine both the nature of the hierarchies of status and the responsibilities associated with that membership. To do this, I examine Canada’s first two campaigns to the Security Council in 1946 and 1947 in the context of the origins of the UN. I make a twofold argument. First, I argue that the hierarchy of the UNSC in the late 1940s was an imperial one, within which states campaigned for seats by articulating their relationships to these imperial formations. Second, I argue that the process of campaigning is also a process of claiming to take on the responsibilities of the UNSC’s mandate.
