(Canada and International Affairs) 1st ed. 2021 Edition
by Yiagadeesen Samy (Editor), Howard Duncan (Editor)
This volume examines Canada’s
migration policy as part of its foreign policy. It is well known that
Canada is a nation of immigrants. However, immigration policy has
largely been regarded as domestic, rather than, foreign policy, with
most scholarly and policy work focused on what happens after immigrants
have arrived in this country. As a result, the effects of immigration to
Canada on foreign affairs have been largely neglected despite the
international character of immigration. The contributors to this volume
underline the extent to which Canada’s relationships with individual
countries and with the international community is closely affected by
its immigration policies and practices and draw attention to some of
these areas in the hope that it will encourage more scholarly and policy
activity directed to the impact of immigration on foreign affairs.
Written by both academics and policy-makers, the book analyzes some of
the latest thinking and initiatives related to linkages between
migration and foreign policy.
