Author Description

Now in a second edition, Readings in Canadian Foreign Policy is the only book of its kind to incorporate classic and contemporary essays with newly commissioned pieces. Coverage of hot-button issues--such as Canada's role in Afghanistan, Arctic sovereignty, and the deportation of Maher Arar--will challenge students to consider new, cutting-edge viewpoints alongside traditional schools of thought. Organized into six thematic sections, the text traces the origins of Canada's foreign policy and the milestones in its development up to the present day, while also analyzing the goals and weaknesses of particular policies. Current and well-rounded, this fascinating mix of classic analyses and new perspectives on Canada's relationship with the rest of the world is essential reading for all students of Canadian foreign policy.
