Statesmen, strategists, and diplomats : Canada's prime ministers and the making of foreign policy / edited by Patrice Dutil. UBC Press, 2023. Call #: 327.71 S797 Subjects Prime ministers -- Canada.   Public administration -- Canada -- Case studies.   Canada -- Foreign relations. Series C.D. Howe series in Canadian political history. ISBN:  9780774868556 (hc.) Alternate title:  Canada's prime ministers and the making of foreign policy Description:  xii, 390 p. : ill. ; 24 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references and index. Summary:  "An examination of the legacy of Canada’s prime ministers on foreign policy. 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. And because the prime minister is typically the one proposing that idea, Canadian foreign policy can be analyzed through the actions of these leaders. 'Statesmen, Strategists & Diplomats' explores how prime ministers from Sir John A. 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."--From publisher.
