Canadian perspectives on current global issues.  Revisions to the second edition play to these strengths, with an expanded focus on Canada’s humanitarian interventions around the globe and current global issues, such as the situation in Darfur, the G-8 and debt relief, the Israel-Lebanon war, and hurricane Katrina in New Orleans.  “Focus on Canadian Scholarship” boxes were added to every chapter highlighting the breadth and variety of Canadian work in the field and piquing students in the field with a focus on careers.  Coverage of theory has been strengthened by making separate early chapters on Realist, Liberal, Critical approaches, as well as continuing theoretical analyses of these and alternative approaches throughout the rest of the book. International Relations, second Canadian edition makes the rich complexity of international politics accessible and exciting for Canadian students.
