Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 January 2018
Extract
For too long, Canada has seen this Hemisphere as our house; it is now time to make it our home... That is the purpose of our policy.
Joe Clark, Secretary of State for External Affairs (1990)Canada, Long-Oriented toward Europe and the Commonwealth, seeks to expand its involvement in Latin America. The development of a coherent Canadian policy for Latin America will depend on a variety of domestic and external factors, among them the Canada-United States relationship, rapid global change, and North American economic integration. Such a policy must reflect Canadian values and concerns — the importance of the collective welfare as well as individual good, the peaceful negotiation of disputes, and the acceptance of cultural, political, and ideological diversity.
