Globalization and the shifting tectonic plates of the international system have led to an increasingly competitive world. If Canada hopes… to gain advantage from the dramatic developments underway, it will have to aggressively adapt its foreign and domestic policies and priorities under the clear direction of the federal government or accept being left behind.

Their examination of a wide range of themes - including the place of pluralistic democratic values in diplomacy, economics, and trade, the ways that Canada should reset relations with its neighbour to the south, as well as how to manage new global security threats - paints a picture of how Canada can become bold, assertive, and confident and easily adjust to a new global landscape. 2014.
