Globalization and the shifting tectonic plates of the international system have led to an increasingly competitive world. If Canada hopes to gain advantage from the dramatic developments underway it will have to aggressively adapt its foreign and domestic policies and priorities under the clear direction of the federal government or accept being left behind. In Brave New Canada, Derek Burney and Fen Hampson identify the key trends that are reshaping the world's geopolitics and economics and discuss the challenges Canada confronts with the rise of China and other global centres of power. Their examination of a wide range of themes - including the place of pluralistic democratic values in diplomacy, economics, and trade, the ways that Canada should reset relations with its neighbour to the south, as well as how to manage new global security threats - paints a picture of how Canada can become bold, assertive, and confident and easily adjust to a new global landscape. Arguing that a successful foreign policy cannot be crafted by looking at the world in the rear-view mirror, Brave New Canada offers evidence-based, provocative prescriptions for both the public and private sectors that should stimulate discussion and command widespread attention.

"This book is a clarion call for Canadians to realize their world is changing and Canada's role in it needs rethinking. Canadians' assumptions about our economy, our security, and our politics need to be brought into line with the stark new realities of the twenty-first century. We can only hope today's decision-makers will heed the advice offered." The Honorable John P. Manley, president and chief executive officer, Canadian Council of Chief Executives "I get the feeling that if policymakers feel like they have been grabbed by the lapels and shaken by this book and its compelling, even urgent, message, the authors will be pleased but not satisfied until we start doing something about it." The Honourable "Burney and Hampson tell an important story that will certainly provoke Canadians and push them out of their comfort zone. A must read for anyone who thinks about the future of Canada in an ever more tightly connected world." Janice Gross Stein, director,
