Summary:

Handbook of Canadian Foreign Policy is the most comprehensive book of its kind offering an updated examination of Canada's international role nearly two decades after the dismantling of the Berlin Wall ushered in a new era of world politics. Tackling recent developments in Canadian foreign policy, the authors of this volume spotlight Canadian idiosyncrasies within a global context that are defined by wrenching juxtapositions. The specialists who have contributed their expertise to this work provide sophisticated analyses-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 to appreciate the challenges policy makers must meet in the early twenty-first century.
