On the occasion of 45 years of Canada-China relations, fifteen academics from eight Canadian universities have joined together to present clear, insightful and analytical policy recommendations on how to move forward Canada’s relations with China.
The policy book, aptly titled Moving Forward: Issues in Canada-China Relations and edited by Asif B. Farooq and Scott McKnight, aims to spark a frank and intellectual conversation on Canada-China relations with a “whole of a Canada” approach to dealing with issues such as health, investment, trade, security, and people-to-people engagements.
The authors of the book include Wendy Dobson (Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto), Paul Evans (University of British Columbia), Jeremy Paltiel (Carlton University), Pascale Massot (University of Ottawa), David Dewitt (York University), David Welch (University of Waterloo), Anton Malkin (Balsillie School of International Affairs), Linting Zhang (University of British Columbia), Scott McKnight (University of Toronto), David Zakus (Ryerson University), Lynette Ong (University of Toronto), James Flynn (University of Toronto), Lotus Ruan (University of British Columbia), Karl Yuan (University of Toronto), and David Mulroney (University of Toronto).
The book will be officially launched at a public seminar on February 4, 2016, at the Munk School of Global Affairs in the University of Toronto.
The publication project is supported by the Asian Institute at the Munk School of Global Affairs, China Open Research Network (中国观察) (CORN), Department of Political Science, Faculty of Arts and Science, School of Graduate Studies, Institute of International Business in the Rotman School of Management, and School of Public Policy and Governance at the University of Toronto, as well as the York Centre for Asian Research.
