Description: "Canada and the Middle East in Theory and Practice provides a unique perspective on one of the world's most geopolitically important regions. From the perspective of Canadian policy practitioners, diplomats, and academics who have been involved in the region, the book offers an overview of Canada's relationship with the Middle East and the challenges Canada faces there. The contributors, both academics and former diplomats, examine Canada's efforts to promote its interests and values - peace building, peacekeeping, multiculturalism, and multilateralism, for example - and investigate the views of interested communities on Canada's relations with countries of the Middle East." "Canada and the Middle East be useful to academics and students studying the Middle East, Canadian foreign policy, and international relations."--Jacket.
