Beskrivning

This collection brings together a wide range of authoritative, informed perspectives on issues of ethics and security facing Canadians in the turbulent global environment of the twenty-first century. These reflections, by some of the leading scholars in the field, link the abstract analytical and philosophical questions of "ethics" to the critical and challenging questions of decision-making practice in Canadian foreign policy.Contributors to this volume deal with both the abstract notions of value, culture, norms, and ethics, and the concrete questions of policy, law, and enforcement. They assess the challenges and the opportunities presented by new concepts, such as human security, mutual vulnerability, soft power, global cultural scripts, "good governance," and niche diplomacy, for foreign policy decision making. The addition of suggested seminar questions, a list of further readings, and a sample course outline add to the usefulness of this text in a practical classroom setting.

"A useful and important addition to courses on Canadian foreign policy, particularly in that it raises issues surrounding ethics and security as a foreign policy objective." - Claire Turenne Sjolander, Department of Political Science, University of Ottawa; The work is highly relevant to current discourse on the evolving concept of security and makes a genuine contribution to the underlying theoretical discussion... It will appeal to a wide audience, and because of its broad range of selected issue areas, will serve as a very useful textbook for courses on Canadian foreign policy." - Harald von Riekhoff, Department of Political Science; Carleton University
