Canada’s Back—Now What? International Policy for the Long Haul

Description

Building on the early foreign policy successes of the Trudeau government, how should Canada define and pursue its long-term goals in international affairs? In an era of dramatic global change and rising challenges, old assumptions about Canadian foreign policy may no longer apply. Canada needs to position itself to succeed not in the world that we have known, but in the world that is emerging.
