Readings in Canadian Foreign Policy combines classic and contemporary readings with selections written specifically for this text. Coverage of such hot-button issues as Canada's role in Afghanistan, claims on Arctic sovereignty, and the deportation of Maher Arar will challenge students and expand their study to include new, cutting-edge perspectives alongside more traditional viewpoints. The organization of the book allows for an examination of Canada'splace in foreign policy, both historically and currently; an exploration of the purpose of Canada's foreign policies; and a critical analysis of its weaknesses. The result of the editors' unique approach is a well-rounded, current assessment of foreign policy in Canada.
