Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An accessible and empirically rich introduction to Canada’s engagements in the world since confederation, this book charts a unique path by locating Canada’s colonial foundations at the heart of the analysis. Canada in the World begins by arguing that the colonial relations with Indigenous peoples represent the first example of foreign policy, and demonstrates how these relations became a foundational and existential element of the new state. Colonialism—the project to establish settler capitalism in North America and the ideological assumption that Europeans were more advanced and thus deserved to conquer the Indigenous people—says Shipley, lives at the very heart of Canada. Through a close examination of Canadian foreign policy, from crushing an Indigenous rebellion in El Salvador, “peacekeeping” missions in the Congo and Somalia, and Cold War interventions in Vietnam and Indonesia, to Canadian participation in the War on Terror, Canada in the World finds that this colonial heart has dictated Canada’s actions in the world since the beginning. Highlighting the continuities across more than 150 years of history, Shipley demonstrates that Canadian policy and behaviour in the world is deep-rooted, and argues that changing this requires rethinking the fundamental nature of Canada itself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to these questions, contributors trace changes in Canada's demographic make-up, explore the relationship between domestic politics and Canadian foreign policy across the fields of diplomacy, development, defense and security, and immigration, and determine the extent to which Quebec's sensibilities to international issues differ from those of the rest of the country. The World in Canada argues that, under certain conditions, the motivation to pursue certain policy choices arises as much from domestic considerations as from the international conditions associated with them.

Download or read book While Canada Slept written by Andrew Cohen and published by McClelland & Stewart. This book was released on 2011-02-04 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For how much longer can Canada expect to get a free ride? With 9/11 and the international “war on terrorism,” the time has come to ask some hard questions. Should we continue to starve our military, reduce our humanitarian assistance, dilute our diplomacy, and absent ourselves from global intelligence-gathering? Can we expect to sit at the global table by virtue of our economic power without pursuing a foreign policy worthy of our history, geography, and diversity? Canada has been getting by on the cheap, writes Andrew Cohen in this timely, forceful, and insightful new book. Our reluctance to pay our own way has had a cost: it has eroded the pillars of our international stature. We are still trading on the reputation this country built two generations ago, but it is a reputation we no longer deserve. We claim to be engaged abroad, but for too long we have been a freeloader, trying to do the same for less, practising pinch-penny diplomacy and foreign policy on the cheap. Our capacity in these key areas has become glaringly inadequate, and now that weakness is compromising our ability to honour our traditional commitments overseas. The time is ripe for a thorough re-examination of our foreign policy, to affirm our values, to win the respect of our allies, to carry our weight.

Book excerpt: "We believe Al Qaeda continues to have a terrorist infrastructure in Canada, one with documented links to the U.S. While many border security measures have been implemented since 9/11, the vast expanse of the 4,000-mile-long U.S. northern border, with eighty-six points of entry and various unofficial crossings, may still provide opportunities for operatives to penetrate U.S. national security, particularly if Western passports are used." --The FBI, in a classified bulletin "Cold Terror will shock the conscience of a nation. In terrifying detail, it shows how the world’s terrorists have made themselves at home in Canada—and how they have been made welcome by cowardly politicians." --David Frum, Resident Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and author of, with Richard Perle, An End to Evil: What’s Next in the War on Terror "Stewart Bell’s clarion call for action needs to be heeded before the ticking Canadian terrorist time bomb blows up closer to home. If Canadian terrorists aren’t stopped before they use weapons of mass destruction in the United States, we’ll have far bigger problems than keeping the border open for trade." --Patrick Grady, The Globe and Mail

Download or read book Canada 1922 1939 written by John Herd Thompson and published by McClelland & Stewart. This book was released on 2016-11-01 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume XV of the Canadian Centenary Series Now available as e-books for the first time, the Canadian Centenary Series is a comprehensive nineteen-volume history of the peoples and lands which form Canada. Although the series is designed as a unified whole so that no part of the story is left untold, each volume is complete in itself. Incorporating the research of a new generation of Canadian historians, John Herd Thompson and Allen Seager give broader dimensions to our picture of Canada during the inter-war years. Mackenzie King, J.S. Woodsworth, and R.B. Bennett come to life in their pages, but so too do provincial leaders like E.N. Rhodes, T.D. Pattullo, and Maurice Duplessis. Canada, 1922-1939 is also a story of ordinary Canadians, the men, women, and children for whom the 1920s didn’t “roar” and who bore the brunt of the Great Depression. Laurier’s boast that the twentieth century would belong to Canada became a bitter irony during the decades of discord bracketed by two world wars. Apart from the boom of the late twenties, economic instability characterized the period. Politically it was marked by regional division, the first minority governments, and the failed hopes of the Progressives and the pre-1914 social reform movements. These years saw Canada drift further from Britain’s orbit. Thompson and Seager chart the economic and diplomatic courses of Canada’s closer relationship with the United States and recount attempts of cultural nationalists like the Group of Seven and the Canadian Authors’ Association to create a “native” Canadian culture in the face of the invasion of American movies, magazines, and radio programs. Thompson and Seager have provided a balanced, authoritative history of one of Canada’s most traumatic and least understood periods. Canada, 1922-1939: Decades of Discord will supply amateur as well as academic historians with lively reading. First published in 1985, Thompson and Seager’s important contribution to the Canadian Centenary Series is available here as an e-book for the first time.

Download or read book Canada and the Third World written by Karen Dubinsky and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2016-03-31 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even though they are aware of the Third World in relation to their daily lives, most Canadians know little about the historical foundations and complex nature of their country's entanglements with non-Western societies. Canada and the Third World provides a long overdue introduction to Canada's historical relationship with the Third World. The book critically explores this relationship by asking four central questions: how can we understand the historical roots of Canada's relations with the Third World? How have Canadians, individuals and institutions alike, practiced and imagined development? How can we integrate Canada into global histories of empire, decolonization, and development? And how should we understand the relationship between issues such as poverty, racism, gender equality, and community development in the First and Third World alike?
Download or read book Political Turmoil in a Tumultuous World written by David Carment and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-05-22 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last two years, Canadian society has been marked by political and ideological turmoil. How does an increasingly divided country engage a world that is itself divided and tumultuous? Political instability has been reinforced by international uncertainty: the COVID-19 pandemic, populism, Black Lives Matter, and the chaotic final year of the Trump presidency that increased tensions between the West, China and Russia. Even with a Biden presidency, these issues will continue to influence Canada’s domestic situation and its ability to engage as an effective global actor. Contributors explore issues that cause or reflect these tensions, such as Canada’s willingness to address pressing crises through multilateralism, including the COVID-19 pandemic. Can Canada forge its own path in a turbulent world?
