First I must thank Beverly Lemire and the other members of the Canadian Historical Association committee for their support and advice from the very beginning of the project. At various stages, the anonymous readers offered sound criticism and advice that I found useful; hopefully, their suggestions have helped me write a better book. Special thanks go to Natalie Fingerhut of the University of Toronto Press, who has believed in this project and guided it through to completion. Also, I would like to thank Betsy Struthers for copy editing the manuscript, Beate Schwirtlich for coordinating the book’s production at the University of Toronto Press, and François Trahan for preparing the index. My wife, Teresa Lemieux, and daughters, Claire and Elizabeth, have provided constant support, and to the three of you I say, again, thank you. vii This page intentionally left blank List of Abbreviations ACCT l’Agence de Cooperation Culturelle et Technique ACP African, Caribbean, and Pacific Group of States AFTA ASEAN Free Trade Area AMIS African Union Mission in Sudan APEC Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation ARF ASEAN Regional Forum ASEAN Association of South East Asian Nations AU African Union BINGO business and industry NGO BRAC Bangladesh Rural Advancement Committee CARE Cooperative for Assistance and Relief Everywhere CARICOM Caribbean Community CENTO Central Treaty Organization CHR Commission on Human Rights CIDI Inter-American Council for Integral Development CIDSE Coopération internationale pour le développement et la solidarité CITEJA Comité International Technique d’Experts Juridiques Aériens CPLP Community of Portuguese Language Countries DONGO donor-organized NGO EAU UN Electoral Assistance Unit EC European Community ix
