"The importance of the issues discussed and analyzed in this text should not be underestimated. Significant and far-reaching changes to global alliances and long-term treaties are taking place at a dizzying rate in terms of global alliances and long-term treaties at a pace that has left many – including many global and area scholars – numbed by the rapidity at which long-standing organizations are shifting and even crumbling. The scope of topics and quality of scholarship in Navigating a Changing World will undoubtedly serve as a source for high-level policy recommendations for various agencies in Canada and the United States as well as in other national agencies."

Laurie Trautman, director of Border Policy Research Institute, Western Washington University:

"Navigating a Changing World is the most comprehensive and currentup-to-date analysis of the state of Canada’s international policy relations and covers both breadth and depth of the subject matter. Hale and Anderson successfully balance theoretical perspectives, including debates about sovereignty and a-territoriality, with policy considerations, such as cabotage and regulatory cooperation, situating the range of topics covered within the contemporary economic and political landscape of Canada, and Canada’s international relations."

David G. Haglund, professor of political studies, Queen’s University:

"Hale and Anderson have produced an outstandingly comprehensive and insightful review of the myriad challenges facing Canada as it grapples with developing effective policy responses in a rapidly changing international economic and political order. Canada is, as the editors state, at a ‘"crossroads,"’ and whether the route ahead is to be a smooth or a bumpy ride will in no small measure be a function of how policymakers address the manifold dilemmas that are so intelligently limned analyzed in this volume. Navigating a Changing World is a major contribution to scholarship on Canadian foreign economic policy, with a breadth of coverage that has rarely been equalled, and never surpassed, in any previous work."
