University of British Columbia Press From Pride to Influence: Towards a New Canadian Foreign Policy

Product Description Recent Canadian foreign policy has fixated upon Canada’s former status as a middle power within a small club of western, democratic states. The emergence of a US-dominated world and of an integrated North American economy and the decline of multilateral rules and institutions as prime instruments of global governance have left Canadian foreign policy searching for new purpose and direction. From Pride to Influence brings Canadian foreign policy into the twenty-first century by grounding it in a conception of the national interest that accepts the primacy of the United States in guaranteeing Canadian national security and prosperity. Review The book’s originality, scope, and polished prose will bolster Hart’s deserved reputation as one of Canada’s leading experts on trade policy and modern Canadian-American relations. -- Michael D.
