At the same time, Axworthy raised Canada's international profile
to extraordinary--and controversial--heights. Some academic and military
analysts of a realist bent found much to criticize in the Axworthy doctrine
that focused on human security while appearing to sidestep the hard realities
of state-centred power politics. The Axworthy Legacy, the
seventeenth volume in the Canada Among Nations series produced by The Norman
Paterson School of International Affairs at Carleton University, offers a
thorough assessment of the foreign policy achievements and setbacks of
Axworthy's tenure in office, and considers the extent to which the Axworthy
years will have a lasting impact on the Department of Foreign Affairs and
International Trade, on Canada's place in international affairs and on global
human security. Contributors to this volume also examine the changes
that are likely to occur under new Foreign Minister, John Manley, and emerging
issues in Canadian foreign and security policy. These include international
environmental accords, the proposed US National Missile Defense, the place of
Africa in Canadian foreign policy thinking, and the possible impact that newly
elected governments in Mexico and the United States, Canada's two NAFTA
partners, will have on Canadian foreign and trade policy. Contents:
