Follow The Leader Lose The Region

Jeff Reeves UBC Press

As competition among the traditional great powers in the Asia region intensifies, Canada faces a stark choice: Should it align its foreign policy with the US-led free and open Indo-Pacific strategy? Shared values give Canada a clear incentive to follow the lead of the United States and Western-aligned democracies, but Jeffrey Reeves presents the case for a foreign policy based on understanding how Asia sees itself. He draws on Asian sources to demonstrate Western misunderstandings of regional developments and to outline alternative, regionally based policy options. Follow the Leader, Lose the Region urges the Canadian government to pivot away from the policies of its Western allies in order to chart an independent course that better serves its interests.
