Canadian Foreign Policy : Reflections on a Field in Transition

Canadian Foreign Policy, as an academic discipline, is in crisis.

Despite its value, CFP is often considered a "stale and pale" subfield of political science with an unfashionably state-centred focus.

Canadian Foreign Policy asks why. Practising scholars investigate how they were taught to think about Canada and how they teach the subject themselves.

Their inquiry shines a light on issues such as the casualization of academic labour and the relationship between study and policymaking.

This nuanced collection offers not only a much-needed assessment of the boundaries, goals, and values of the discipline but also a guide to its revitalization.
