“Justin Trudeau and Canadian Foreign Policy is a wide-ranging and convincing analysis of the prime minister’s unexpected encounter with the international disruption created by the presidency of Donald Trump.  With its differing perspectives, detailed research, and strong opinions, the book reveals why Canada faces new and profoundly troubling challenges in a rapidly changing international environment. It is essential reading for opinion leaders, academics, journalists, students, and the Prime Minister’s Office.” (John English, Founding Director, Bill Graham Centre for Contemporary International History, University of Toronto, Canada)

“Norman Hillmer and Philippe Lagassé have assembled an impressive and diverse set of contributors to the latest volume in the venerable Canada Among Nations series.
