While both countries continued to engage bilaterally in that region throughout the 1960s till the 1980s, mainly (but not exclusively) because of the long-lasting legal dispute over the Northwest Passage, the Northern\/circumpolar dimension to Canada\u2019s foreign policy as we know it today was born in the early 1990s. Jo\u00ebl\u2019s presentation also looked at how Canada was very active on circumpolar issues throughout the post-cold war period, being a major actor in the creation of the Arctic Council (Canada was the first country to Chair the Arctic Council in 1996 and will be starting its second mandate as Chair of the Arctic Council in May 2013). Today, Jo\u00ebl explained, because of climate change and emerging security issues, Canada is trying desperately to regain a role of influence in the circumpolar north but has yet to fine tune its approach to this changing region and also the changing role of the Arctic Council as the main forum for dialogue in the Arctic and with the rest of the world.<\/p>\n<p>While visiting the Center for Canadian\/American Studies at WWU, Jo\u00ebl had various meetings on Qu\u00e9bec\/US relations and studies with Dr. Don Alper, Director of Canadian American Studies at WWU, and Dr. Christopher Sands, 2013 Ross Distinguished Professor at WWU. In 2010, Jo\u00ebl was Qu\u00e9bec Visiting Professor at WWU, teaching Qu\u00e9bec Politics and Contemporary Issues. His two appointments in Washington State, at WWU in 2010 and, now, at UW for the Task Force on Arctic Security in 2013 were made possible through government funded grants from the Government of Qu\u00e9bec, Minist\u00e8re des relations internationals du Qu\u00e9bec. He is grateful for their valuable support in funding research on Qu\u00e9bec\/US\/Canada\/North America related issues, and for allowing Qu\u00e9bec scholars to visit and work with American colleagues around the United States.<\/p>\n<p><i>Jo\u00ebl Plouffe from Universit\u00e9 du Qu\u00e9bec \u00e0 Montr\u00e9al is the 2013 Visiting Qu\u00e9bec Professor at the JSIS, UW, co-teaching with Nadine Fabbi from the Canadian Studies Center a Task Force on Arctic Security.
