In The World Wonât Wait, some of Canadaâs brightest thinkers present essays on both classic foreign policy issues such as international security, human rights, and global institutions and emerging issues like internet governance, climate change, and sustainable development.
- Univ of Toronto Pr
The need for an ambitious and forward-looking Canadian international strategy has never been greater. The worldwide changes that jeopardize Canadian security and prosperity are profound, ranging from the globalization of commerce, crime, and political extremism to the impact of climate change on the economy and environment. The reaction from Canadaâs policymakers, at least so far, has been underwhelming.
In The World Wonât Wait, some of Canadaâs brightest thinkers respond. Covering both classic foreign policy issues such as international security, human rights, and global institutions and emerging issues like internet governance, climate change, and sustainable development, their essays offer fresh and provocative responses to todayâs challenges and opportunities. The proposals are striking and the contributors diverse: Torontoâs chief city planner makes the case that Canada needs a global urban agenda, while a prominent mining executive explains how to revitalize the countryâs position as a world leader in the sector. Their essays are sure to spark the kind of debate that Canada requires if its international policy is to evolve into the twenty-first century.
