About this book
This book argues that Canada and its international policies are at a crossroads as US hegemony is increasingly challenged and a new international order is emerging. The contributors look at how Canada has been adjusting to this new environment and resetting priorities to meet its international policy objectives in a number of different fields: from the alignment of domestic politics along new foreign policies, to reshaping its international identity in a post-Anglo order, its relationship with international organizations such as the UN and NATO, place among middle powers, management of peace operations and defense, role in G7 and G20, climate change and Arctic policy, development, and relations with the Global South. Embracing multilateralism has been and will continue to be key to Canada’s repositioning and its ability to maintain its position in this new world order. This book takes a comprehensive look at Canada’s role in the world and the various political and policy variables that will impact Canada’s foreign policy decisions into the future.

Reviews
“A work of impressive scope and comprehensiveness, Murray and Gecelovsky’s Handbook will be of invaluable use for researchers and teachers of Canadian foreign policy and students interested in Canada’s global presence. The book’s 31 newly written chapters and lively introduction feature fresh insights and arguments from leading scholars as well as new voices in the field. This compendium will be a standard “go-to” for some time to come; a reference work that should grace the collection of any serious student of Canada and its complex engagement with the world.” (Professor Andrew C. Holman, Professor of History and Director, Canadian Studies Program, Bridgewater State University, Co-Editor, American Review of Canadian Studies)
