Feminist Perspectives on Canadian Foreign Policy

Extract

Feminist Perspectives on Canadian Foreign Policy, Claire Turenne Sjolander, Heather A. Smith and Deborah Steinstra, eds., Toronto: Oxford University Press, 2003, pp. xiv, 246

This timely must-read collection of fourteen essays is a welcomed addition to a growing body of feminist Canadian foreign policy literature. It is an accessible collection which challenges traditional Canadian foreign policy analyses (including feminist ones) by deploying feminist approaches and presenting feminist foreign policy (re-)formulations. Each author carefully explains relevant feminist theory or scholarship to link tightly their theoretical arguments with their case studies.
