The Imperial Prime Minister? Assessing the role of Canada’s PMs in Shaping Foreign Policy
Who makes foreign policy in Canada? The bureaucracy? Civil society? The Business Community? Parliament?
In this session, four scholars will share a discussion on the central role of the Canadian prime minister in crafting and executing this country’s foreign policy. The discussion will stretch back to Sir John A. Macdonald’s creation of the "Atlantic Triangle" but will focus on the roles played by Robert Borden, R.B. Bennett, Pierre Trudeau and Paul Martin. Guest speakers will include Stephen Azzi (Carleton University), Damien-Claude Belanger (University of Ottawa), Susan Colbourn (Duke University), and Patrice Dutil (Toronto Metropolitan University), who recently edited Statesmen, Strategists and Diplomats: Canada’s Prime Ministers and the Making of Foreign Policy (UBC Press).
This event is sponsored by the Bill Graham Centre for Contemporary International History at Trinity College.
