Post-war Canadian foreign policy has been characterized by two enduring themes - an ongoing commitment to multilateralism on the one hand, and a substantial commitment to continentalism on the other. In the early 1970s the post-war structures for international politics and economics entered a period that led to a dramatic transformation based on the relative decline of the United States (punctuated by the end of the cold war), the rise of economic interdependence and the new internationalism, and the emergence of citizen-centered foreign policy. These three factors have had a substantial impact on both Canada's role in the world and its relationships with its main political and economic partners.

Rochlin (Centre for Latin American and Caribbean Studies, York U.) traces the evolution of Canadian foreign policy towards Latin America. He discusses the periods from the beginning of the century to the Trudeau years, the Trudeau era, and 1984 and beyond, and turning points such as Canada's decision to enter the Organization of American States as a full member, its involvement in NAFTA negotiations, and its peacekeeping role in Central America. Rochlin focuses on the emergence of global trading blocs and changing hegemonic structures. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
