norm that affecting its norm entrepreuner. According to the theory of international
norms, there are few motives behind an actor�s action at different stage of norm
life cycle. Human security has been characterizing Canada�s foreign policy in
1990s, pioneered by former minister of foreign affairs, Llyod Axworthy. As one
of the norm entrepreneur Canada will have to act to certain action in purpose to
keep its status/identity as norm entrepreuner of human security. This is because
this status or identity is such a pride for Canada. Canada�s relation with
Afghanistan during 1968-2011 will also be explained in this research.

programmes that held in 2002-2011. International community has seen

Afghanistan�s status as failed state has caused a new obligation to Canada as a
norm entrepreuner to address this issue. Canada�s action in Afghanistan will also
be analyzed in this research. This is to see whether Canada�s action is in line with
human security or not. The finding is that Canada�s action not merely in line with
human security, a lot of flaws in implementation of Canada�s programmes,
