The world in 2019 isn鈥檛 what it was in 2015. Trump鈥檚 America is a markedly less reliable partner. Populist nationalism is roiled Europe. Xi Jinping鈥檚 China has abandoned Deng Xioping鈥檚 鈥渉ide your strength, bide your time鈥 doctrine and is now asserting itself as a major power 鈥 targeting Canada, among other countries. The structure of institutions, alliances and rules that underpinned a largely open and relatively stable international order for decades 鈥 and which Canada has relied on 鈥 is degrading faster than many expected. What principles and priorities should guide the next government鈥檚 foreign policy in the face of these mounting challenges?
