This volume examines the state of Canadian foreign policy in the wake of significant global events and shifts in international relations. The book addresses the lack of a comprehensive review of Canada's foreign policy since 1995, particularly in light of the September 11th attacks, subsequent military actions in Afghanistan and Iraq, the challenges faced by the UN Security Council, and evolving Canada-U.S. border relations. It critiques the piecemeal nature of recent policy initiatives and calls for a broader reassessment of continental defense obligations and global realignments.

This collection of essays offers a critical examination of Canadian foreign policy during a period of significant global upheaval. The contributors, including established scholars in the field, provide detailed analyses of the challenges and opportunities facing Canada on the international stage. The book is likely to be of interest to students, policymakers, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of Canada's role in a changing world.
