International Relations in Canada: Understanding the Field

Michael P.A. Murphy

Political Science / International Relations / General

Since the turn of the millennium, sustained attention to the features of international relations in Canada has produced a series of journal articles, book chapters and conference sessions. These interventions have tracked the approaches, assumptions, theories, and methods dominant in research contexts; attitudes towards the field and its subjects revealed through major surveys; the politics and power of language in shaping the field of international relations; the training of the professoriate; and unique strengths in the Canadian academy as differentiated from American international relations. Such investigations have offered a variety of points of agreement and disagreement, leading scholars to conclude: that there is a distinctly “Canadian IR,” that there is nothing sufficiently unique about international relations in Canada to hold it together, or that two or more definable camps exist. This edited volume brings together leading and new voices to provide the first comprehensivetreatment of the question of the status of international relations in Canada.
