Canadian Foreign Policy in Critical Perspective by J. Marshall Beier,Lana Wylie Pdf

Canadian Foreign Policy in Critical Perspective is a provocative collection of thirteen original essays that questions many of the basic assumptions in Canadian foreign policy and much of its conventional wisdom. By taking a self-consciously critical approach to specific issues, the authors encourage students to question their own assumptions and investigate alternative ways of thinking about Canada's place in the world and its relations with other nations. With a strong Canadian focus, this text gives students access to cutting-edge research on topics like Canada's ongoing involvement in Afghanistan, Canada-US border policy, the scarcity of French-language literature on Canadian foreign policy, and more. The book also makes original contributions to the literature on Canadian foreign policy through coverage of cases, issues, and dilemmas that have been neglected in the existing literature.

The Politics of Canadian Foreign Policy, Fourth Edition by Kim Richard Nossal,Stéphane Roussel,Stéphane Paquin Pdf

The fourth edition of this widely used text includes updates about the many changes that have occurred in Canadian foreign policy under Stephen Harper and the Conservatives between 2006 and 2015. Subjects discussed include the fading emphasis on internationalism, the rise of a new foreign policy agenda that is increasingly shaped by domestic political imperatives, and the changing organization of Canada’s foreign policy bureaucracy. As in previous editions, this volume analyzes the deeply political context of how foreign policy is made in Canada. Taking a broad historical perspective, Kim Nossal, Stéphane Roussel, and Stéphane Paquin provide readers with the key foundations for the study of Canadian foreign policy. They argue that foreign policy is forged in the nexus of politics at three levels – the global, the domestic, and the governmental – and that to understand how and why Canadian foreign policy looks the way it does, one must look at the interplay of all three.

Canada Among Nations, 2008 by Robert Bothwell,Jean Daudelin Pdf

This year's edition of Canada Among Nations offers a critical overview of a number of landmarks in the last hundred years of Canadian foreign policy. The editors take a critical look at the now almost mainstream "declinist" thesis and at the continued relevance of Canada's relationships with its principal allies - the United Kingdom, France, and the United States. Contributors discuss a broad range of themes, including the weight of a changing identity in the evolution of the country's foreign policy, the fate of Canadian diplomacy as a profession, the often complicated relationship between foreign and trade policies, the impact of immigration and refugee procedures on foreign policy, and the evolving understanding of development and defence as components of Canada's foreign policy.

Canadian Foreign Policy by Brian Bow,Andrea Lane Pdf

Canadian Foreign Policy, as an academic discipline, is in crisis. Despite its value, CFP is often considered a “stale and pale” subfield of political science with an unfashionably state-centred focus. Canadian Foreign Policy asks why. Practising scholars investigate how they were taught to think about Canada and how they teach the subject themselves. Their inquiry shines a light on issues such as the casualization of academic labour and the relationship between study and policymaking. This nuanced collection offers not only a much-needed assessment of the boundaries, goals, and values of the discipline but also a guide to its revitalization.

Handbook of Canadian Foreign Policy by Patrick James,Nelson Michaud,Marc O'Reilly Pdf

Handbook of Canadian Foreign Policy is the most comprehensive book of its kind, offering an updated examination of Canada's international role some 15 years after the dismantling of the Berlin Wall ushered in a new era in world politics. Tackling recent developments in Canadian foreign policy, the authors of this work spotlight Canadian idiosyncrasies within a global context that are defined by wrenching juxtapositions. The specialists who have contributed their expertise to this book provide sophisticated analysis-conceptual as well as historical-rather than simply impressionistic judgments about contemporary events. Highlighting both well-known and understudied topics, this handbook presents a marriage of the familiar and the underappreciated that enables readers to grasp much of the complexity of current Canadian foreign policy and appreciate the challenges policymakers must meet in the early 21st century.

Canada, Latin America, and the New Internationalism by Brian J.R. Stevenson Pdf

In Canada, Latin America, and the New Internationalism Brian Stevenson argues that Canada's foreign policy toward Latin America has been profoundly affected by these three factors and has evolved in response to both changing domestic demands and shifting international circumstances. By analysing a pivotal period in Canada-Latin American relations, he shows us how successive Canadian governments made important initiatives toward closer relationships with Latin America and were also pressured by non-governmental organizations to play a bigger role in the region. Canada's increased role can be seen in official foreign policy commitments, such as the decision to join the Organization of American States, and in policy decisions on political refugees. He explains that while the United States has played a key role in sometimes constraining Canadian foreign policy in the region, it is important to realize that Canadian foreign policy has been steadied by a long-standing tradition of internationalism. Canada, Latin America, and the New Internationalism demonstrates that the tradition of internationalism in Canadian foreign policy as viewed from the perspective of foreign policy analysis provides the framework within which to understand and accommodate changes in its policy toward Latin America. The period which the book explores is critical in order to understand the contemporary nature and future direction of Canada-Latin America relations.

Canada's Foreign and Security Policy by David Bosold,Nik Hynek Pdf

A compilation of brand-new research and writing from leading Canadian and European experts on Canadian foreign policy, Canada's Foreign and Security Policy re-examines Canada's political place and international influence in the contemporary world. As half of the contributors are non-Canadians, this 'outside-in' character of the book offers a unique perspective on internal versus external role perception, recognizing the disparity between Canada's national self-image and interpretations from outside the country's boundaries. Organized into three parts, the book begins with a conceptual analysis of Canada's label and position as a middle power, then moves on to assess the soft and hard dimensions of Canada's foreign and security policy within this framework. Individual chapters are policy-relevant and cover a range of topics of interest to Canadian foreign policy students and scholars alike, including human security, development policy, environmental and energy policies, the role of the Canadian forces, terrorism, NATO involvement, and Arctic sovereignty. Within these chapters, key debates meet new scholarship as authors examine the interrelationships within and among policy areas, and also call into question the 'sedimented truths' of Canadian foreign and security policy.
