Pragmatic idealism

the long version

"Providing an overview of Canada's role in international affairs in the post-war era, Pragmatic Idealism dispels some of the myths surrounding Canadian foreign policy and celebrates the distinctiveness and distinction of Canada's place in world politics. Costas Melakopides finds an impressive continuity underlying Canadian foreign policy since 1945 and argues that it stems from the sustained pursuit of a coherent set of foreign policy ends and means."--BOOK JACKET.
