Stephen Harper : finding his way in the world -- Elusive endgames in Afghanistan and Libya -- Stormy relations with the United Nations -- Recession warrior and trade crusader -- Saving mothers, children, and dollars -- Cluster bombs -- Israel and the Middle East -- Standing with Ukraine against the "Putin regime" -- ISIL and the politics of terror -- Trudeau's first hundred days in the world -- Trudeau and Obama : the elephant twitches.
Subject: "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."--
