Branding Canada
Evan Potter analyses how the federal government has used the instruments of public diplomacy - cultural programs, international education, international broadcasting, trade, and investment promotion - to exercise Canada's soft power internationally. He argues that protecting and nurturing a distinct national identity are essential to Canada's sovereignty and prosperity, and suggests ways to achieve this through the strategic exercise of public diplomacy, at home and abroad. In offering the first comprehensive overview of the origins, development, and implementation of the country's public diplomacy, Branding Canada offers policy advice on Canada's approach and advances the thinking on public diplomacy in general.

Canada and the Third World : overlapping histories
\"Canada and the Third World provides a much needed and long overdue introduction to Canada's historical relationship with the Third World. The book critically explores this relationship by asking four central questions: how can we understand the historical roots of Canada's relations with the countries of the Third World? How have Canadians, individuals and institutions alike, practiced and imagined \"development\"? How can we integrate Canada into global histories of empire, decolonization, and development? And how should we understand the relationship between issues such as poverty, racism, gender equality, and community development in the First and Third World alike? The anthology begins with a general introduction followed by 9 essays. Each essay ends with discussions questions and suggestions for further reading.\"-- Provided by publisher.

This Kindred People
Kohn shows how Americans and Canadians often referred to each other as members of the same \"family,\" sharing the same \"blood,\" and drew upon the common lexicon of Anglo-Saxon rhetoric to undermine old rivalries and underscore shared interests. Though the predominance of Anglo-Saxonism proved short-lived, it left a legacy of Canadian-American goodwill as both nations accepted their shared destiny on the continent. Kohn argues that this new Canadian-American understanding fostered the Anglo-American \"special relationship\" that shaped the twentieth century.

Natural Allies
No two nations have exchanged natural resources, produced
transborder environmental agreements, or cooperatively altered
ecosystems on the same scale as Canada and the United States.
Environmental and energy diplomacy have profoundly shaped both
countries' economies, politics, and landscapes for over 150 years.
Natural Allies looks at the history of US-Canada relations
through an environmental lens. From fisheries in the late
nineteenth century to oil pipelines in the twenty-first century,
Daniel Macfarlane recounts the scores of transborder environmental
and energy arrangements made between the two nations. Many became
global precedents that influenced international environmental law,
governance, and politics, including the Boundary Waters Treaty, the
Trail Smelter case, hydroelectric megaprojects, and the Great Lakes
Water Quality Agreements. In addition to water, fish, wood,
minerals, and myriad other resources, Natural Allies details the
history of the continental energy relationship - from electricity
to uranium to fossil fuels -showing how Canada became vital to
American strategic interests and, along with the United States, a
major international energy power and petro-state. Environmental and
energy relations facilitated the integration and prosperity of
Canada and the United States but also made these countries
responsible for the current climate crisis and other unsustainable
forms of ecological degradation. Looking to the future, Natural
Allies argues that the concept of national security must be
widened to include natural security - a commitment to public,
national, and international safety from environmental harms,
especially those caused by human actions.

Branding Canada : projecting Canada's soft power through public diplomacy
The communications revolution and increased democratization and globalization have made every country more aware of its image and reputation - its \"national brand.\" Whether a country needs to build international coalitions against terrorism, encourage cooperation to protect the environment, or attract investment and skilled labour, influencing foreign public opinion is now as crucial to national success as negotiating with foreign governments. Evan Potter analyses how the federal government has used the instruments of public diplomacy - cultural programs, international education, international broadcasting, trade, and investment promotion - to exercise Canada's soft power internationally. He argues that protecting and nurturing a distinct national identity are essential to Canada's sovereignty and prosperity, and suggests ways to achieve this through the strategic exercise of public diplomacy, at home and abroad. In offering the first comprehensive overview of the origins, development, and implementation of the country's public diplomacy, Branding Canada offers policy advice on Canada's approach and advances the thinking on public diplomacy in general.

Our Place in the Sun
Penned during the transition of power from Fidel Castro to Raúl Castro, Our Place in the Sun explores the Canadian-Cuban relationship from 1959 to the present day. The essays in this volume reflect upon the past but also explore the internal issues and external forces that will continue to influence the Canada-Cuba association in the years to come.
Many of this volume's contributors draw upon newly declassified sources and original interviews, providing unique insight into the historical, economic, and political realities affecting the Canada-Cuba connection. Featuring twelve original essays by a variety of scholars as well as a short memoir by former Canadian Ambassador to Cuba, Mark Entwistle, this important interdisciplinary collection calls into question past understandings of the Canadian-Cuban relationship. It is a must-read for anyone interested in Canadian and Cuban history of the last half-century, and the dynamics of North American politics more broadly.

With friends like these : entangled nationalisms and the Canada-Quebec-France triangle, 1944-1970
\"One of the most enduring images of Quebec's Quiet Revolution is Charles de Gaulle proclaiming \"Vive le Quâebec libre!\" from the balcony of Montreal City Hall in 1967. The French president's provocative act laid bare Canada's unity crisis and has since dominated both anglophone and francophone interpretations of the Canada-Quebec-France triangle in the modern era.
