<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>What purposes should a democratic country's foreign policy serve? Hugh Segal investigates this question as he argues for a foreign policy of and with purpose to complement Canada's place as one of the most fortunate countries in the world.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><i>The Hill Times: Best Books of 2016</i><br/><br/><b>A bold call for a Canadian foreign policy that advances the basic freedoms that enable peace, stability, development, and security.</b> <br/><br/>What ends should a democratic country's foreign policy serve? Avoiding diplomatic disputes? Keeping allies happy? Promoting national and global security? While a qualified yes is the logical answer to all of these secondary questions, <i>Two Freedoms</i> argues for something more, something that reflects Canada's commitment, at home and abroad, to the two key freedoms: freedom from want and freedom from fear.<br/><br/><i>Two Freedoms</i> examines the costs of allowing these freedoms to die or diminish and at how a country can design a foreign policy that makes the pursuit of these freedoms real and practical. To design a genuine foreign policy of purpose and substance, a country must look at what it would mean for its diplomats, its military, its development aid, and its relations with important multilateral organizations like the U.N. To achieve a goal, a foreign policy needs good strategy, tactics, and design. These key elements are all found in <i>Two Freedoms</i>.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Fluent, lively and drawing on deeply held convictions of a distinctly progressive conservative variety ...

It should be heeded by us all.-- "Thomas Axworthy, political strategist and policy advisor"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Hugh Segal has been active in foreign and security policy for over thirty years, and has chaired the Senate Foreign Affairs and Special Anti-Terrorism committees and the Canadian Institute for Strategic Studies.
