ISBN10: 0774868554, ISBN13: 9780774868556, [publisher: University of British Columbia Press, Vancouver] Hardcover Hardcover. Foreign policy is a tricky business. Typically, challenges and proposed solutions are perceived as disparate unless a leader can amass enough support for an idea that creates alignment.

Macdonald to Justin Trudeau have shaped foreign policy by manipulating government structures, adopting and rejecting options, and imprinting their personalities on the process. Contributors consider the impact of a wide range of policy decisions increasing or decreasing department budgets, forming or ending alliances, and pursuing trade relationships particularly as these choices affected the bureaucracies that deliver foreign policy diplomatically and militarily.This innovative focus is destined to trigger a new appreciation for the formidable personal attention and acuity involved in a successful approach to external affairs. Statesmen, Strategists, and Diplomats is an incisive look at the history of Canadian foreign policy through the actions of prime ministers from Sir John A. Macdonald to Justin Trudeau.
