The
cost-benefit
analysis
of
Canadian
membership
in
the
Commonwealth
could
be
matched
by
an
equally
revealing
assessment
of
membership
in
La
Francophonie.
It
is
disappointing
to
see
an
unrealized
potential
in
the
chapter
on
Canada's
stake
in
the
world
economic
order
and
the
popular
but
misleading
explanations
of
the
Third
Option
and
the
Green
Paper
being
perpetuated.
Among the
helpful
additions
to
the
literature
are
Bernard
Wood's
separation
of
North/South
relations
from
aid
and
W.M.
Dobell's
look
at
South
Asia
apart
from
the
Pacific.
Equally
useful
is
G6rard
Her-
vouet's study
of
Asian
relations.
David
Haglund
has
finally
placed our
coastal
state
identity into the
pre-Trudeau
period.
Nicolas
Matte
and
M.L.
Stojak
bring
some
perspective
to
international
space policies.
Freda
Hawkins's
fine
chapter
on immigration
and
refugee
policies
is
needed,
but
in
such
a
volume
begs
the
question
-
what
is
their
impact
on
foreign
policy
perspectives?
One
of
the
most
thoughtful
overviews
of
our
changing
Middle East
policies has
been
provided
by
Janice
Stein.
Students
will
also
find
the
bibliographies at
the
end
of
each
chapter
helpful
for
further
research.
Nowhere
can
a
reader
find
a
more
solid
study
of
Canadian
foreign
policy
packed
into
one
volume.

This
book
addresses
a
topic which
has received
surprisingly
little
atten-
tion
from
students
of Canadian
foreign
policy,
namely,
agricultural
trade
policy.
Its
central theme
is
the
juxtaposition of
conflict
and
co-
operation
in
the
Canada-United
States
relationship
in
this
issue-area.
Using
a
historical/episodic
approach,
Cohn
provides
a
detailed
picture
of
Canada's
efforts
throughout
the
post-194
5
period
to
constrain
and
modify
American
practices which
departed
from
liberal
economic/
multilateral norms
and
values,
while
attempting
to
establish
a
