"This is an authoritative guide to the human security agenda that Canada has made the hallmark of its foreign policy. It's all here--the campaign to ban land-mines, the painful learning of lessons from the failed peace-keeping operations of the 1990's, the attempt to develop the strategy, tactics and legal legitimacy for effective humanitarian intervention. Anyone who cares about these issues must read this book." Michael Ignatieff, Carr Centre for Human Rights Policy, Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University
"Canada can be proud of its global leadership role in conceptualising and advancing the new human security agenda. This highly readable and comprehensive book explains why." Gareth Evans, President of the International Crisis Group and Australian Foreign Minister 1988-96
"A unique and complete collection of various aspects of human security. Human Security and the New Diplomacy makes a clear and compelling case that many issues that the world is confronted with today take on a different perspective and call for different policy instruments when viewed from the overarching objective of protecting human security. It makes a fresh contribution to the subject and will be a valuable addition to the educated general public interested in some of the key problems of human security in the world today." Mihailo Crnobrnja, author of The Yugoslav Drama
"A worthy collection. It captures an important recent turn in Canadian foreign policy and is an excellent overview of the emergence and evolution of the human security doctrine." Charles Pentland, Political Studies, Queen's University
