Series consists of material related to the various aspects of Lloyd Axworthy’s career after he left public office in 2000 and before he became the President and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Winnipeg. His positions during that period included Director of the Liu Centre for Global Studies, the UN Special Envoy in the Ethiopia-Eritrea border conflict, and several others. Some of the material also seems to have been gathered as research for his book, Navigating a New World. Indeed, because that book digested all the aspects of his career up to its publication in 2003 – political and post-political – it is not possible to draw a discrete line between documents generated through the public & private offices he held and documents gathered to supplement his manuscript.
The series contains numerous kinds of records. There are several black notebooks full of brief notes and reflections. There are a number of speeches and papers which Dr. Axworthy delivered at conferences, convocations, and other official events. There are Liu Centre publications and reports. There are publications, reports, and papers from other conferences, institutions, or organizations in which Dr. Axworthy had some membership. There are also a great deal of collected research materials – serials, publications, papers, conference reports, articles, and newspaper clippings. The research materials fit under themes on which Dr. Axworthy focused in his career, and which he covered in his book. Finally, there are photographs related to the same categories of events.
