Description:
Adam Chapnick and Asa McKercher’s latest book, Canada First, not Canada Alone: A History of Canadian Foreign Policy, tells the story of a country that has traditionally benefited from diplomatic prudence and compromise even as its citizens have yearned for their elected officials to be world leaders. It argues that, like any country, Canada must look out for its own interests first, but in the modern world, it can’t do so effectively without cooperating with other states and non-state actors. Join Chapnick for a discussion of what Canada’s foreign policy past can tell us about how Ottawa might best navigate an increasingly uncertain and dangerous world.
