"Canadian Foreign Policy in a Unipolar World examines the theoretical and practical realities of a unipolar world--a system in which a single power is disproportionally dominant and influential--and asks how it affects Canadian foreign policy. Taking this model of unipolarity as their starting point, editors Christopher Kirkey and Michael Hawes, along with 17 other contributors and esteemed scholars, cover such fascinating topics as Homeland Security, Canadian development policies, and geo-engineering. Each chapter of this contemporary volume provides students with Learning Objectives and Suggested Further Resources to ensure that they can successfully navigate the various debates, and Study Questions to encourage their direct critical engagement with the material."--

"What is Quebec's relationship with the rest of Canada? Is there a distinct Quebecois culture? What is Quebec's place on the international stage? These are questions editors Stéphan Gervais, Christopher Kirkey, and Jarrett Rudy continue to ask in the second edition of Quebec Questions: Quebec Studies for the Twenty-First Century. Bringing together expert contributors, the text examines the province through historical, social, cultural, political, and economic perspectives. Building on the strength of the previous edition, new chapters discuss the law and legal traditions, visual arts and sport in Quebec, and Quebecois perspectives on federalism and sovereignty. An expansive pedagogical program--including thoughtful introductions, timelines, biographies, case studies, primary source documents, critical thinking questions, and a new glossary--makes this a thoughtful, engaging, and passionate exploration of la belle province."--

"The year 1968 in Canada was an extraordinary one, unlike any other in its frenetic pace of activities and their consequences for the development of a new national consciousness among Canadians. It was a year when decisions and actions, both in Canada and outside its borders, were thick and contentious, and whose effects were momentous and far-reaching. It saw the rise of Trudeaumania and the birth of the Parti Québécois; the articulation of the new nationalism in English Canada and an alternative vision for Indigenous rights and governance; a series of public hearings in the Royal Commission on the Status of Women; the establishment of the Canadian Radio and Television Commission, nation-wide Medicare and CanLit; and a striving for both a new relationship with the United States and a more independent foreign policy everywhere else. And more. Virtually no segment of Canadian life was untouched by both the turmoil and the promise of generational change."--
