“The World Won’t Wait is the clearest and most comprehensive collection of progressive thinking on Canadian international policy available today. ” – Adam Chapnick, Royal Military College of Canada

The need for an ambitious and forward-looking Canadian international strategy has never been greater. The worldwide changes that jeopardize Canadian security and prosperity are profound, ranging from the globalization of commerce, crime, and political extremism to the impact of climate change on the economy and environment. In The World Won’t Wait, some of Canada’s brightest thinkers respond; their essays offer fresh and provocative responses to today’s challenges and opportunities.

‘This is a smart and concise edited work that shines light on many new (and old) ideas concerning Canadian Foreign policy… It is deserving of a read by anyone interested in Canada’s "international strategy" going forward in the twenty-first century. ’
