Explaining China’s Use of Force in the Taiwan Strait with a Constructivist Perspective
No full textAs tension in the Taiwan Strait has risen in recent years, the prevention of war became one of the key concerns in international security. In this paper, I investigate why China sometimes reacts aggressively to the US action in the Taiwan Strait, whereas other times it responds more moderately. Through a constructivist perspective, I propose that due to the divergent interpretations of international sovereignty norms between China and the US, China can perceive the United States’ actions to be in violation international norms, leading to conflict. To test my research question, I develop five levels of US infringement to China’s sovereignty: military, diplomatic, and symbolic challenges, and economic and diplomatic sanctions. A total of 8 cases are selected from 2014 to 2024. China’s responses are categorized into five levels of aggression. With the exception of military challenges, China appears to be more likely to exhibit aggressive responses when it perceives the actions of the United States to be undermining China’s sovereignty
Analyzing Canada’s Immigration Detention Policies: Rationale, Benefits, and Costs
No full textThis paper evaluates the Canadian federal government’s policies on immigration detention and explores the rationale behind these policies, such as national security, using Parliamentary debates and CBSA data from the federal government. Additionally, it compares these to the costs imposed by the policies including human and social costs, economic costs, and physical, emotional, and psychological damage to detainees and children in the long-term, and damage to Canada’s international reputation. It finds that the benefits from these immigration detention policies are not outweighed by the costs and suggests alternatives to detention that should be explored as a more just solution to the issue that these policies are intended to address

Gidoodikosan Giiwitaabimin - We sit in a circle for kidneys, a strength-based qualitative study.
No full textAbstract
The overall aim of this qualitative study was to inform recommendations towards Indigenous strength-based approaches for kidney health, prevention of disease and failure. Between 2020 and 2022, during the COVID-19 pandemic, we conducted online interviews and teleconferences with 16 participants from North Simcoe in Ontario, Canada. Participants shared their experiences revolving around kidney disease and care within Indigenous contexts. An advisory committee consisting of members from a First Nation community with personal and familial experiences with kidney disease provided direction to the research in conjunction with the research team. Analysis occurred through the collective consensual data analytic procedure (CCDAP) consistent with a strength-based methodology that involved the coming together of community members with the research team. Themes were identified into groupings that led to the recommendations related to (1) health care continuity of traditional and cultural ways of knowing and being; (2) accessible hemodialysis and support for home dialysis; (3) increased kidney transplantation and kidney organ donation, (4) increased telehealth and virtual medicine; and (5) government support and funding. Accessible culturally safe care within home communities that also serves to limit the spread of COVID-19 infection was prioritized
