Description

This collection brings together a wide range of authoritative,
informed perspectives on issues of ethics and security facing
Canadians, linking abstract analytical and philosophical questions to
the critical and challenging questions of decision-making practice in
Canadian foreign policy. Contributors deal with both the abstract
notions of value, culture, norms, and ethics, and the concrete
questions of policy, law, and enforcement. They assess the challenges
and the opportunities presented by new concepts, such as human
security, mutual vulnerability, soft power, and niche diplomacy, for
foreign policy decision making.
