About
"Canada, under Harper, became a different sort of global citizen than before, one that occupied a new, unfamiliar position for this country--the odd man out. Deviating from the cross-party consensus of how Canada should govern itself outside its borders, Harper's leadership marked a turn from multilateralism, typified in his refusal to "go along to get along" on the world stage. This stance characterized Canadian relations with the United Nations and Canadian responses to political and military strife throughout the world. In the wake of Justin Trudeau's promise to return Canada to its pre-Harper state, this book examines Canada's global relations under Harper and their impact on the situation the Liberals have inherited."--
