Peacekeeping Project
This assignment is based on the subject of peacekeeping. This is something we have begun to discuss in
class so you should have some idea of what it entails and be able to think of examples of BOTH its use
AND Canada’s history of involvement.
This project is a short research paper that answers a series of listed questions. It will be no longer than 2
pages double spaced (Times New Roman, size 12 font). It is NOT a persuasive essay. Therefore, it does
not need an introduction or conclusion and doesn’t need to contain your opinion until the final paragraph.
Use pages 237-238 in your textbook to get started, but you are also expected to conduct a little bit of
outside research. You must put ALL information found into your own words and cite any sources
consulted (links are fine)! You will not receiving a passing mark until this is done. If you are caught
plagiarizing it will be an automatic zero.
Essay Outline:





First paragraph: What is the role of peacekeepers? When are they sent to conflict zones? What
guidelines must they usually follow? When, if ever, are they allowed to use force? What is the
difference between peacekeepers and peacemakers?
Second paragraph: What is the United Nations Security Council? How and why is the Security
Council looked to authorize peacekeeping missions?
Third paragraph: Discuss Canada’s first peacekeeping role in the Suez Canal crisis in 1956.
What was the nature of the dispute? What was proposed to settle things down? What did Lester
B. Pearson have to do with resolving the crisis? Why is this event often considered the “birth” of
peacekeeping?
Fourth paragraph: Describe Canada’s peacekeeping mission in the former Yugoslavia during
the 1990s. What was the nature of this crisis? How was Canada involved? Why was the
peacekeeping mission often seen as ineffective or deemed a failure?
Fifth paragraph: Outline your stance on peacekeeping. Do you think it’s effective? Do you
agree with the principles it stands by? Should it be improved, changed in any way, or scrapped
altogether? Why?

October 2008: Nuclear Deal between India and the US
-Respond on a separate sheet of paper A number of nations have nuclear weapons such as the United States of America and Russia (both began
producing weapons during the Cold War), along with China, India and Pakistan. The US (1970), Russia (1970),
Iran (1970), and China (1992) are signatories to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. India and Pakistan are not.
However, The US and India have a bilateral agreement as of October 2008 which allows the US to sell nuclear
fuel, technology, and reactors to India. India will allow IAEA inspections with the exception of eight military
installations that are off limits. Considering the ongoing dispute between Pakistan and India over Kashmir (pg.
192 for review), and the adversarial relationship between the US and Iran over Iran’s uranium program, answer
questions 8 and 9]
8.
What would be the probable nationalist responses from Pakistan and Iran to the new nuclear
deal between India and the United States?

Some speculate that one of the reasons the US made the nuclear deal with India was its nationalist
motivated concern with China. What might the concern be? Think in terms of political and economic
dimensions.

Internationalism & Global Issues
Chapter 12 is all about Internationalism and Global Issues. Your task is to summarize the topic given to you and
your group by referring to your textbook and putting the information in your own words. Essentially, your group
is teaching this topic to everyone else. You do not need to do any outside research and do not need to consult the
internet.
Compile your information in a PowerPoint, poster, play, word document, movie, or whatever form your group
wants to use. However, you will be given only 1 class to work on this. This is an assignment that you will present
to the class. You will be graded on this presentation.
Each group will need to summarize the main points of their topic into 2-3 sentences of notes that can be made
available for your classmates to copy down for studying. These notes should be shown to me before your
presentation.
Each group also needs to answer the questions of how your topic relates to internationalism and how you would
go about “solving” the issue with a realistic plan. Do not disregard these two important components as they make
up 40% of your mark.

Chapter Issue: To what extent do efforts to promote internationalism through world
organizations affect nationalism?
How do the responses of various international organizations affect nationalism?
“Trickle-down theory suggests that when people in developed countries [developed = highly industrialized] have
more money to spend, they will buy goods and services offered by businesses in less developed countries [less
developed = less to least industrialized countries and nations typically in the South] – and this spending will help
strengthen the economy of the developing world.” Organizations such as the World Trade Organization and the
European Union support this theory.
1.
According to those in support of the WTO, and its support of trickle-down theory, how does the WTO
promote national interests?
2.
What arguments (and example) claim WTO practices are a detriment to national interests?
3. Those in support of the EU claim…? (Remember nationalism.)
4.
Those against the EU claim…? (Remember nationalism.)

To what extent should internationalism be pursued?
Due to the high occurrence of source analysis questions on high school Social Studies multiple choice tests
(questions based on cartoons, graphs, maps, readings, etc.) you may think that studying for Social is irrelevant.
After all, the questions are based on the sources and since you have no idea what the sources are there is no point
in studying right?
This is a HUGE mistake! Although you may not know the exact sources you need to know the events, conditions,
or highlights of certain topics to give you a context for analyzing the sources. For instance, how can you correctly
interpret the meaning of a political cartoon on Darfur if you don’t know what Darfur is or what happened there?
You do not need to spend 10 hours studying for this test but you need to make sure you have a enough
background knowledge on the main topics we’ve studied over the last 4 chapters. You will not need to know how
many countries make up the Arctic Council or where the United Nations is located but you should know the
reason for the formation of the Arctic Council and the purpose and criticisms of the United Nations.
The following are topics you should have a general understanding of:
-
Rwandan Genocide & Suez Canal Crisis
European Union
NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement), WTO (World Trade Organization)
National interest vs. internationalism
Isolationism, unilateralism, bilateralism, multilateralism, supranationalism, etc.
NGOs (Non-Governmental Organizations: Red Cross, Greenpeace, etc.)
Peacekeeping and peacemaking
IMF (International Monetary Fund), Arctic Council, La Francophonie
Kosovo (Pg. 182-184, 197, 199)
Ottawa Treaty, International Law of the Sea, Kyoto Protocol
United Nations Security Council (who is in it and how does it work)
Tibet
Darfur & Bosnia
Foreign aid
Canadian arctic sovereignty
US’ role in the United Nations
Definitions you should know:
-
Sanction
Humanitarian
Sovereignty
Self-determination
Infrastructure
Intergovernmental organizations
- Successor state
- Collective consciousness
- Appeasement
- Diplomacy
- Tied aid
- Assimilation
