Document Summary
Europe and central asia and latin america and the caribbean: 90% of canada"s fdi goes to high income countries. Canada: since 2006, significant blurring of distinctions between profit-seeking, development assistance and foreign policy, 2013 **key year: cida is folded into the department of foreign affairs, trade and development. More explicit links to business and development (**merging business with poverty reduction) No easy way to separate these things out today knows as global affairs canada (3 ministers in this department) Shouldn"t canada be concerned with poverty even if it doesn"t benefit canada. Believes poverty reduction should only be about helping the developing nations not helping yourself at the same time. (brown) Believes canadian foreign policy is driven by the goal of creating the conditions for the successful international expansion of canadian corporations, at the hear of which is forcibly opening up the markets and resources of the global south. Foreign aid has been left aside for aggressive profit policies. (gordon)
