The authors challenge critics who dismiss Reid as an impractical idealist, demonstrating that his approach to policy-making was sophisticated and his progressive idealism tempered by an astute grasp of the competing interests of a range of national and bureaucratic powers. Reid's reflections on Canada's place in the world remain as relevant and provocative as when he wrote them."--Jacket UR - https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=404115 ER -
