ABSTRACT Shortly after coming to power in October 2015, Justin Trudeau declared that Canada was “back”, that the last decade under Stephen Harper in which Canada “lost its compassionate and constructive voice in the world” was over. Trudeau was going to return Canada to the “general continuity” in Canada’s approach to international relations which characterized the 1945–2006 period and was broken by the Harper government when it took office. This paper will demonstrate that the Harper government attempted to shift the ethical concerns of the Canadian government from a focus on collective concerns of international society to one which prioritized self-reliance and self-responsibility. More specifically, Stephen Harper advanced a narrative – personal responsibility internationalism – which challenged the internationalist narrative which had been subscribed to and supported by the “bipartisan consensus” of both Liberal and Conservative governments in the post-war period. The argument will be developed in three parts. The first section discusses narratives and the role they play in guiding a state’s foreign policy. The next two sections examine humane internationalism and personal responsibility internationalism, outlining their main tenets, tracing their origins and discussing briefly some of the ways they have been reflected in the practice of Canadian foreign policy.

从人道到负责任：斯蒂芬哈珀，叙事和加拿大外交政策

摘要 在 2015 年 10 月上台后不久，贾斯汀·特鲁多宣布加拿大“回来了”，在斯蒂芬·哈珀 (Stephen Harper) 领导下的最后十年，加拿大“在世界上失去了富有同情心和建设性的声音”。特鲁多打算让加拿大回归加拿大处理国际关系的“总体连续性”，这是 1945 年至 2006 年期间的特点，并在哈珀政府上任时被打破。本文将证明哈珀政府试图将加拿大政府的伦理关注从关注国际社会的集体关注转移到优先考虑自力更生和自我责任的关注。进一步来说，斯蒂芬哈珀提出了一种叙事——个人责任国际主义——挑战了战后自由党和保守党政府“两党共识”所赞同和支持的国际主义叙事。论证将分三部分展开。第一部分讨论叙事及其在指导国家外交政策方面所起的作用。接下来的两节考察了人道国际主义和个人责任国际主义，概述了它们的主要信条，追溯了它们的起源，并简要讨论了它们在加拿大外交政策实践中的一些反映方式。第一部分讨论叙事及其在指导国家外交政策方面所起的作用。接下来的两节考察了人道国际主义和个人责任国际主义，概述了它们的主要信条，追溯了它们的起源，并简要讨论了它们在加拿大外交政策实践中的一些反映方式。第一部分讨论叙事及其在指导国家外交政策方面所起的作用。接下来的两节考察了人道国际主义和个人责任国际主义，概述了它们的主要信条，追溯了它们的起源，并简要讨论了它们在加拿大外交政策实践中的一些反映方式。
