Reviews

Middle Power in the Middle East delivers an interesting and thought-provoking review of the many challenges Canada has faced in crafting a coherent and effective policy approach to the Middle East. The issues addressed and the arguments presented provide a helpful framework for policymakers looking to develop a comprehensive strategy to more fully advance Canadian interests and priorities in the region. - Dennis Horak, Former Ambassador of Canada to Saudi Arabia Middle Power in the Middle East is arguably the best book to date on Canada's complicated relations with this volatile region. Clearly written and convincingly argued, this book examines how relations with the United States, the need to be perceived as a reliable ally, diaspora and election politics, and the individual preferences of prime ministers interact to shape Canada's foreign and defence polices in the Middle East. Middle Power in the Middle East is essential reading. - Michael Molloy, Former Ambassador of Canada to Jordan This book provides a much-needed discussion on Canada's evolving role in the Middle East. While Canada has been consistent in its willingness to contribute to regional stability, its engagement strategies have varied significantly over time. The contributors succeed in furthering our understanding of specific regional dynamics while identifying the decisive factors that shape Canada's relationships and reputation in the Middle East. - Stefanie von Hlatky, Canada Research Chair (Tier 2) in Gender, Security, and the Armed Forces, and Associate Professor of Political Studies, Queen's University

This collection nicely demonstrates how - and why - the Middle East continues to matter to Canadians. -- Kim Richard Nossal, Queen's University * <em>International Journal</em> *
