Readings In Canadian Foreign Policy

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 andweaknesses 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.

Unique mix of cases and readings focuses on the main periods since World War II: the St. Laurent years, the Diefenbaker-Pearson years, the Trudeau and Clark years, and the contemporary Mulroney era, highlighting decisions that signalled major policy changes or defined a durable policy direction in Canadian foreign policy.

This is a reader for courses in Canadian foreign policy--it can be used on its own as a core text or alongside a single-authored text. The book is structured in six sections covering a broad range of topics: approaches to Canadian Foreign Policy; external sources; domestic sources of CFP; security; trade and economic issues; and social considerations, which include human rights, environment, and development issues.

Readings in Canadian Foreign Policy combines classic and contemporary selections with original contributions written specifically for this volume. Showcasing cutting-edge perspectives alongside more traditional viewpoints, this reader offers students a well-rounded examination of foreignpolicy in Canada.

This book offers the first comprehensive analysis of Canadian foreign policy under the government of Justin Trudeau, with a concentration on the areas of climate change, trade, Indigenous rights, arms sales, refugees, military affairs, and relationships with the United States and China. At the book’s core is Trudeau’s biggest and most unexpected challenge: the election of Donald Trump as president of the United States. Drawing on recognized experts from across Canada, this latest edition of the respected Canada Among Nations series will be essential reading for students of international relations and Canadian foreign policy and for a wider readership interested in Canada’s age of Trudeau.
