Joining Empire The Political Economy of the New Canadian Foreign Policy

'This is political economy scholarship at its best... This study's importance is not just Canada-centric; its theoretical framework and methodology are relevant to scholars researching foreign policy in other Western nation-states.... Highly recommended.'

'We now have a theoretically sophisticated and up-to-date account of how Canadian foreign and security policy expresses the class interests of Canadian capital.'

‘Considering the dominance of Neoliberalism, this contribution could not be timelier... Klassen’s greatest theoretical contribution is how he ties together the vectors of Empire to provide a well-rounded view of capitalism.’

‘Joining Empire is perhaps the most lucid and empirically grounded analysis of the formation of the transnationalized fraction of the Canadian corporate elite and the development of an imperial power bloc to date... This book is a major contribution and deserves to be widely read.’

"Klassen’s book makes an important and worthwhile contribution to contemporary political science."
