The key features of soft security... are : it responds to primarily internal or trans-border threats that are not characterized as constitutive elements of inter-state relations; the main method in ensuring soft security is not the use of military force but the efficient internal management of society with a pronounced conflict-preventive dimension; the response capacity regarding security threats is not geographic but policy-priority based; the concept of security involved here is width-based. 2, record 1, English, - soft%20security

The Human Resources Management Modernization Branch(HRMM) was established in April 2004, as an organization within the Public Service Human Resources Management Agency of Canada(PSHRMAC), the new central agency whose core business, purpose and focus is to improve the management of people, and of leadership, in the public service of Canada. In this context the HRMM branch plays a critical role within the Agency and across government for managing the transition to a reformed HR system, and its associated performance measurement regime. The HRMM branch is accountable for providing leadership and oversight over a broad range of functional areas, with primary responsibility for the implementation of the Public Service Modernization Act(PSMA), leading the ongoing Classification reform process, aligning Employment policies and developing the HR dimension of the CASS initiative. In summary, the HRMM branch and its Executive team provide the visible face of HR reform to key stakeholders and the HR community across government. 1, record 3, English, - Human%20Resources%20Management%20Modernization%20Branch

La Direction de la modernisation de la gestion des ressources humaines (MGRH) a été mise sur pied en avril 2004 à titre d'organisation faisant partie de l'Agence de la gestion des ressources humaines de la fonction publique du Canada (AGRHFPC), le nouvel organisme central dont les activités principales, la raison d'être et l'intérêt premier consistent à améliorer la gestion des personnes et du leadership au sein de la fonction publique du Canada. Dans ce contexte, la Direction de la MGRH joue un rôle crucial au sein de l'Agence et dans l'ensemble du gouvernement en ce qui concerne la gestion de la transition qui doit donner lieu à une refonte du système de RH et de son régime de mesure du rendement connexe. La Direction de la MGRH a le mandat de jouer un rôle de chef de file et de supervision au sein d'une grande diversité de secteurs fonctionnels, et sa responsabilité première consiste à assurer la mise en œuvre de la Loi sur la modernisation de la fonction publique (LMFP), à diriger le processus de réforme de la classification en cours, aligner les politiques sur l'emploi, et élaborer le volet RH de l'initiative des SMAP. En résumé, la Direction de la MGRH et son équipe de direction sont la personnification de la réforme des RH auprès des principaux intervenants et de la collectivité des RH dans l'ensemble du gouvernement. 1, record 3, French, - Direction%20de%20la%20modernisation%20de%20la%20gestion%20des%20ressources%20humaines

The Northern Dimension concept covers a broad and diverse geographic area, stretching from the arctic and sub-arctic to the southern shores of the Baltic, and from North-West Russia in the East to Iceland and Greenland in the West. The Northern Dimension aims at addressing the special regional development challenges of northern Europe. These include harsh climatic conditions, long distances, wide disparities in standards-of-living, environmental challenges includings problems with nuclear waste and waste water management, and insufficient transport and border crossing facilities. The Northern Dimension is also intended to take advantage of the rich potential of the region, for example in terms of natural resources, economic dynamism and a rich cultural heritage. 1, record 6, English, - Northern%20Dimension
