In the past fifteen years Canada has emerged from the position of a somewhat obstreperous exponent of isolationism and Canadian nationalism to become a leading middle power. This rapid rise to international importance has brought in its train many significant developments in Canada. Few are more interesting than the process by which Canadian foreign policy is presently being made, for its examination throws some light on the substance of Canadian foreign policy and provides the student of comparative politics with an important example of the planning of foreign policy under a Cabinet form of government. It also shows some of the problems and possibilities of a rapidly developed governmental organization.

Over the past two decades, labor has given broad support to the foreign policy of the United States. Its special concern is the pursuit of an antitotalitarian foreign policy, the maintenance of a strong military establishment, the rapid de colonization of the remaining colonial areas, continued high levels of foreign economic aid, and a forceful bipartisan ex pression of United States objectives. For the most part, labor is not well equipped to originate new approaches in foreign policy but prefers to take a stand on policies developed by the national-government administration. Given the prevailing division of functions in the labor movement, foreign policy is chiefly in the hands of the AFL-CIO president and his imme diate staff. Postwar developments have led to the creation of special labor positions in government agencies involved in the conduct of foreign relations. These have too often been filled with unsuitable persons from the labor movement. On the whole, labor is a useful but not a senior partner in the making and administering of American foreign policy.

Non-central governments in Canada have become increasingly active on the world stage, most notably in the Asia Pacific region. The scholarly works on Canada's foreign policy in Asia tend to focus either on the federal government as the main actor, or on the "other diplomacies" of non-governmental actors; little attention has been paid to the increasing role of non-central governments in Asia. This article, therefore, contributes to the discussion by documenting and evaluating Canadian provinces' international activities in the Asia Pacific. It also situates these activities within Canada's foreign policy in the region, and assesses how important provinces have become in Canada–Asia relations. This paper first reviews the literature on non-central governments and foreign policy to expose the key forces pushing and pulling Canadian provinces to be increasingly active internationally. It then details the provinces' international activities in Asia, and locates them within Canada's foreign policy in the region.

On October 23, 1962, Premier Kim Il-song outlined the foreign policy of his government before the Supreme People's Assembly, meeting in Pyongyang. His lengthy speech, entitled "Immediate Tasks of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea," ranged over both domestic and foreign policy issues. To set forth the major themes of that speech is a convenient method of introducing the foreign policy of North Korea.

This study aims to find out China's foreign policy in carrying out its economy which is characterized by its own economy, as a communist country but China does not carry out a complete communist economic system. Since 1978 the Chinese government has reformed a more planned economic system which is more market oriented. Thus the higher-ups increased the power of local leaders and installed managers in industry, allowing small-scale enterprises in services and light production. This study uses qualitative research by collecting data sources in the literature and then analyzing them according to the research objectives. China also uses politics in its economic cooperation with other countries, namely by setting the condition that countries wishing to establish cooperation with China must agree to China's claims to Taiwan and sever official relations with the Taiwanese government. Data analysis shows that China's foreign policy making is still traditional communist style, which has continued its leadership from the beginning such as Mao Zhedong to Xi Jinping. China as a communist country with foreign policy makers centered on one central command. It can be interpreted that China's foreign policy is determined by the leader of the country and the people around him. The conclusion of this study is that in deciding a Chinese foreign policy through the Think Tank group or the Politburo in its government.

The election of President Donald J. Trump in 2016 introduced a new foreign policy, one that holds certain aspects of traditional schools of thought in international relations but is unique in that it does not prescribe to any one theory or academic framework. It does, however, contain foundational pillars that are essential to understand the cause and effect of President Trump's foreign policy. Through careful review of President Trump's prepared foreign policy speeches and interviews with Trump administration officials, this article argues that a return to nation-state sovereignty and burden sharing are the most important pillars of President Trump's foreign policy, known as America First or "Trumpism."

UNDER RICHARD NIXON'S LEADERSHIP, THE UNITED STATES RATIONALLY AND SYSTEMATICALLY PURSUED A NEW WORLD ORDER, INCLUDING THE END OF AMERICAN PARTICIPATION IN THE VIETNAM WAR, THE ESTABLISHMENT OF DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS WITH PEKING, DETENTE WITH THE SOVIET UNION, AND THE FIRST STEPS TOWARD THE CONTROL OF STRATEGIC WEAPONS. HIS POLICIES SET THE UNITED STATES ON A WHOLE NEW COURSE IN ITS FOREIGN POLICY AS HE MADE SHIFTS IN AMERICAN'S POSTURE TOWARD ALLIES AND ADVERSARIES ALIKE. NIXON'S RESIGNATION, HOWEVER, OCCURRED AT A TIME WHEN THE DECISIONS EMANATING FROM THE OVAL OFFICE JUSTIFIABLY WERE PERCEIVED AS BEING DESIGNED TO CONFOUND AND CONFUSE THE INVESTIGATION OF HIS MISDEEDS WHILE PRESIDENT. ALTHOUGH THIS POLITICAL TRANSFORMATION WAS VIEWED BY MUCH OF THE WORLD AS A PRAISEWORTHY TRIBUTE TO AMERICA'S DEMOCRATIC SYSTEM, AT THE TIME IT WAS A PAINFULLY EXCRUCIATING EXPERIENCE WHICH MIGHT WELL HAVE THREATENED OUR NATIONAL SECURITY AS WELL AS THE DOMESTIC TRANQUILITY. REFLECTING ON RICHARD NIXON'S ACTIONS DURING THESE FINAL DAYS OF HIS ADMINISTRATION, CERTAIN GUIDELINES FOR THE FUTURE ARE SUGGESTED.

"From a nuclear North Korea and territorial disputes in the East China Sea, to global climate change and Asia-Pacific free trade agreements, Japan is at the center of some of the most challenging issues that the world faces today. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, comprising contributions from the fields of politics, sociology, history, and gender studies, this handbook creates a comprehensive and innovative overview of the field, investigating the widening variety of interests, sometimes competing, that constitute Japanese foreign policy. Organized topically, it is divided into sections, including: Japans evolving foreign policy landscape Global environmental and sustainable development International and national security International political economy International norms and civil society.Providing an evaluation of the key actors, institutions, and networks influencing Japanese foreign policy, the Routledge Handbook of Japanese Foreign Policy is an essential resource for students and scholars of Japanese and Asian Politics, International Relations, and Foreign Policy."--Provided by publisher
