Canada and world order
"Ever since the Second World War, multilateralism has been a defining characteristic of Canadian foreign policy. In Canada and World Order Tom Keating surveys Canada's involvement with a wide range of multilateral associations: in particular the United Nations, the Commonwealth, the GATT/World Trade Organization, and NATO, but also the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the Organization of American States, the Francophonie, and the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe. At the same time he examines the various policy objectives - economic and political, broadly international and narrowly national - that multilateralism has been used to further.". "This second edition brings Canada and World Order up to date, incorporating the critical events and issues of the 1990s as well as new theoretical work on multilateralism. At a time when Canada's involvement in multilateral institutions faces increasing public scrutiny, and those institutions themselves are undergoing significant change, this study is essential reading for anyone who would speculate on the contributions that Canada might make in the future."--BOOK JACKET.
