| Description: |
The third volume of the official history of the Department of External Affairs traces the ministry's evolution in response to the political, economic, and domestic pressures that accompanied the first wave of globalization in the 1970s-80s. Drawing on untapped sources, it offers an "insider's view" of Canada's foreign policy during that period. |
| Synopsis: |
By 1968, Canada's storied Department of External Affairs was under siege. The postwar decades of steady growth and diplomatic accomplishment were over.Technological change and trade liberalization wereushering in a new era of globalization. The economyslumped and stagnated. Globalization stretched theinternational agenda, adding novel issues: humanrights and woman's rights; energy, science, andtechnology; the environment; and global revolutionand terrorism. The new Prime Minister, Pierre Trudeau,encouraged the Department of External Affairs to keepup with the times. External Affairs initially reeled under the assault,struggling to respond to the enormous political,economic, and domestic pressures of the era. Throughthe 1970s, however, it steadily reclaimed its relevance.It focused more of its efforts on economic diplomacyand found the administrative mechanisms requiredto reconcile its traditional global outlook with thegovernment's domestic preoccupations, finallymerging with the Trade Commissioner Service in 1982. Along the way, External Affairs helped craft innovativepolicies to respond to the dominant challenges of theera, including UN peacekeeping, decolonization andthe North-South dialogue, the Middle East and the IranHostage crisis, and the ever-dangerous Cold War. |
