Harper's World examines Stephen Harper's foreign policy orientation during his time as Prime Minister of Canada.

In examining the nuts and bolts of former prime minister Stephen Harper's foreign policy universe between 2006 and 2015, Harper's World turns to key foreign policy experts to break down and evaluate Harper's international policies - from relations with China to his engagement with Canada's Arctic region. In explaining both the what and the why of Harper's foreign policy record, this book argues that the policy decisions of Harper's Conservative government were primarily shaped and motivated by domestic, regional, and, most importantly, electoral calculations.

Bringing together Canada's leading foreign policy specialists, Harper's World identifies the push and pull factors of Harper's approach to various Canadian foreign policy issues. This collection offers original analyses, factual evidence, case studies, and supporting documentation to shed light on Harper's foreign policy orientation during his almost ten years in power.

Industry Reviews

A unifying theme of this authoritative collection on Canadian foreign policy between 2006 and 2015 is the influence of domestic politics on foreign policy across a broad range of issues. The diverse viewpoints offered give the reader the opportunity to learn how foreign policy analysts weigh the relative importance of ideology, electoral and political motives, leadership, and the often-intractable complexities of world politics in shaping Canadian foreign policy. This book will be an invaluable and lasting resource for students of Canadian foreign policy, foreign policymakers, and anyone interested in the domestic sources of world politics.

In this most welcome book, leading scholars of Canadian foreign policy offer a richly researched critical analysis of Stephen Harper's important changes and contributions to the central issues in Canadian foreign policy. Harper's World provides an essential baseline for students, scholars, and policymakers to better understand the direction and determinants of Justin Trudeau's foreign policy, and how it will and can be changed.

- John J. Kirton, Professor of Political Science, University of Toronto

Peter McKenna has assembled an excellent collection of essays by a diverse group of scholars. This is a wide-ranging exploration of an important moment in Canada's history, but also of a deeper, more durable problem - the 'politicization' of foreign policy - that we're going to be wrestling with for a long time.

- Brian Bow, Professor of Political Science, Dalhousie University
