York Political Science students "Emerging Voices on Asia".The perspectives of York students on Canadian ties to a rapidly changing Asia have recently been published on the "Emerging Voices on Asia" blog of the National Conversation on Asia. The blog posts by Jennifer Mendoza, Matt Summers, and Kirubel Abebe offer analysis on the environmental impact of the consumption of Southeast Asian palm oil by Canadian consumers, the economic and and political implications for Canada of China's rise, and Canada's security role in Asia. The blog posts are based on assignments done in the York University political science course, Asia in the New Global Order (POLS 4595). An initiative of the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada, the National Conversation on Asia aims at encouraging Canadians to think about and discuss developments in Asia and their implications for Canadians.
