About this book
Relocating Middle Powers is the first book to explore the similarities and differences in the foreign policies of two middle powers in a new era of international relations.
This book examines how two middle powers, Australia and Canada, are grappling with the difficult process of relocating themselves in the rapidly changing international economy.

Reviews
David P. Rapkin:
This well-organized and clearly written book succeeds in establishing that a focus on the intellectual and entrepreneurial leadership of middle powers yields a significant gain in explanatory power when used to complement more orthodox approaches to the collective action problems inherent to forging cooperative international institutions. For those seeking an antidote to the great power chauvinism and often parochial character of much American scholarship on questions of leadership, hegemony, cooperation and world order, Relocating Middle Powers provides an informative and provocative alternative.

Lawrence T. Woods:
A welcome addition to the literature on the comparative study of Canadian and Australian foreign policy, this book also serves as a timely counter to the wave of literature exploring the “new world order” role of the United States; it reminds us that other players are present and can shape events.
Theodore H. Cohn, Simon Fraser University:
This comparative study of the foreign policy of two middle powers is clearly ground-breaking in nature, and one hopes it will direct more attention to international relations theorists to lesser powers in a post-hegemonic, post-cold war era.
