- Summary:
- This book provides a detailed examination of what happens when traditional diplomatic methods interface with new forms of global governance. Using Canada as a representative example, the main focus is on the span of activity from the 1992 Rio UNCED conference through the 1993 Vienna Conference on Human Rights, the 1994 Cairo Conference on Population and Development, the 1995 World Summit for Social Development, the 1995 Beijing Conference on Women, to the 2001 Durban World Conference on Racism. The picture that emerges suggests a deepening network of institutions, actors, and organizations forming the complex regimes that govern the major arenas of world politics.
