Kukucha. Vancouver ; Toronto : UBC Press, [2016] xi, 285 pages ; 24 cm text txt rdacontent unmediated n rdamedia volume nc rdacarrier Includes bibliographical references and index. "In 2015 the Harper era in Canadian foreign policy was over, and the gentler, more cooperative Canada of years past was set to return. But was the Harper era really so different? And if so, why? This comprehensive analysis of Canada's foreign policy during the Harper years addresses these questions. The chapters, written by leading scholars and analysts of Canadian politics, provide an excellent overview of the government's foreign policy in a number of different areas -- from energy policy and the environment to Israel and Afghanistan. They also offer differing interpretations as to whether the transition from minority to majority government in 2011 shaped the way that the Harper Conservatives conceived of, developed, and implemented international policy."-- Provided by publisher.
