Reviews

Patrick Monahan:
In this important book, Irvin Studin looks at Canada's constitutional framework through an entirely different lens, namely, how the Constitution informs Canada’s conduct on the international stage. The new insights offered here will add brand new dimensions to constitutional, federalism, and international affairs scholarship, both in Canada and internationally.

Hugh Segal:
This book should be compulsory reading for all who aspire to serve in Canada's foreign, defence, trade promotion, and international development sectors, as well as for constitutional lawyers and aspiring business leaders. And it is a must-read for those who want Canada's international footprint to reflect the essence of our values and aspirations as Canadians.

Lloyd Axworthy:
Studin skillfully weaves together strategy and constitutionalism to create a different paradigm for thought and analysis. He argues that our Constitution works well for Canada in establishing an international presence and for promoting its potential as a global player.
