Master's Thesis from the year 2014 in the subject Politics - Region: Other States, grade: A, Webster University, language: English, abstract: This paper discusses Canadian foreign policy within the framework of emerging Asian markets and the diversification of Canadian energy resources. Using Robert Putnam's (1989) two-level game theory, it identifies why Canada has been prompted to shift its focus to Asia and what domestic and international factors challenge Canadian foreign policy goals.
