<P> NPSIA first published its "Canada Among Nations" series in 1984 . The annual series brings together leading members of the international affairs community for an assessment of the country's foreign policy . The books are used in university courses on foreign policy and international relations, and "have become a major publication of record on Canada's policies and actions in the world ." The volumes, which include topics such as arms control, climate change, and international political economy, have often been edited by prominent NPSIA faculty members, including by Maureen Appel Molot, Brian Tomlin, Fen Osler Hampson, Norman Hillmer, Jean Daudelin and Dane Rowlands . </P> <P> In 2008, former Canadian diplomat William Barton donated $3 million to the school to establish the William and Jeanie Barton Chair in International Affairs .
