Description

What are Canadaâ€™s various links with international development and globalization?

They extend beyond foreign aid to diplomacy, trade, finance, aid, immigration, military intervention (both peacekeeping and combat roles), membership in a variety of international organizations, relations with indigenous peoples, and people-to-people links.

This multi-disciplinary and multi-author textbook, designed for first- or second-year students, introduces the main concepts, theories, and perspectives that have shaped Canadaâ€™s interactions with developing countries in a globalizing world.

It starts by considering Canada as a case study in international development and globalization.

It examines Canadaâ€™s diplomatic, economic, military, social, immigration and aid policies, how they have changed over time and how they have interacted with each other and with Canadaâ€™s treatment of Indigenous peoples.

The book presents economic, political, and cultural dimensions of the process of globalization and the ways they affect Canada; examines the public institutions, private sector and civil society organizations in Canada; and explores the moral imperatives behind Canadian international policy.

Finally, it examines current issues, including Canadaâ€™s promotion of human rights, democracy, good governance, support to the private sector, and relations with fragile and conflict-affected states and the emerging economies.
