Many historians and political scientists argue that ties between Canada and Latin America have been weak and intermittent because of lack of mutual interest and common objectives. Has this record of diverging paths changed as Canada has attempted to expand its economic and diplomatic ties with the region? Has Canada become an imperialist power?

Canada's Past and Future in Latin America investigates the historical origins of and more recent developments in Canadian foreign policy in the region. It offers a detailed evaluation of the Harper and Trudeau governments' approaches to Latin America, touching on political diplomacy, bilateral development cooperation, and civil society initiatives.

Leading scholars of CanadaLatin America relations offer insights from unique perspectives on a range of issues, such as the impact of Canadian mining investment, security relations, democracy promotion, and the changing nature of Latin American migration to Canada. Drawing on archival research, field interviews, and primary sources, Canada's Past and Future in Latin America advances our understanding of Canadian engagement with the region and evaluates options for building stronger ties in the future.

Reviews for Canada's Past and Future in Latin America

""" Canada's Past and Future in Latin America is an outstanding and timely collection of top-notch research which fills an important gap in the literature. This volume superbly captures the changes to Canada's complicated relationship with the region, while bringing together established scholars from a range of disciplines to address the most pressing questions related to Canada and the Americas today."" --Simon Granovsky-Larsen, Associate Professor of Politics and International Studies, University of Regina "" Canada's Past and Future in Latin America is impressive in both its breadth and depth. This collection moves beyond a narrow state-centric treatment of Canada's ties with Latin America to offer a more holistic, multisectoral approach to the study of these ties, including very good treatments of the efforts of Canadian civil society to shape the relationship and government policies, the evolution of migration patterns, and the growing involvement of Canadian mining firms across Latin America."" --Thomas Legler, Professor of International Relations, Universidad Iberoamericana"
