Identity Discourses and Canadian Foreign Policy in the War on Terror

This insightful exploration delves into the intricate interplay between Canadian identity and the country’s foreign policy amid the War on Terror. The author, Taylor Robertson McDonald, meticulously analyzes how narratives surrounding what it means to be Canadian have influenced and shaped the nation’s stance on global issues related to terrorism. Through a critical lens, the book uncovers how public perceptions and cultural discourses have not only informed governmental policies but have also reflected Canada's evolving role on the international stage during turbulent times.

As McDonald navigates through various incidents and policies, he sheds light on the broader implications these identity discourses hold for Canada’s diplomatic relations and engagement with global conflicts. By weaving together historical context and contemporary analysis, the work invites readers to reconsider the fundamental aspects of Canadian identity and how they resonate in the face of complex geopolitical challenges.
