This book argues that Canada and its international policies are at a crossroads as US hegemony is increasingly challenged and a new international order is emerging. The contributors look at how Canada has been adjusting to this new environment and resetting priorities to meet its international policy objectives in a number of different fields: from the alignment of domestic politics along new foreign policies, to reshaping its international identity in a post-Anglo order, its relationship with international organizations such as the UN and NATO, place among middle powers, management of peace operations and defense, role in G7 and G20, climate change and Arctic policy, development, and relations with the Global South. Embracing multilateralism has been and will continue to be key to Canada’s repositioning and its ability to maintain its position in this new world order. This book takes a comprehensive look at Canada’s role in the world and the various political and policy variab

Robert W. Murray Biography
Robert W. Murray joined the faculty at UM-St. Louis in 1968 after a very successful career at Bell Labs. He was born in Brockton, Massachusetts, and received degrees from Brown University, Wesleyan University and Yale, where he completed his Ph.D. with Professor Martin Saunders. He served as chair of the Chemistry Department at UMSL from 1975 to 1980. In 1981 he was the first chemist in the University of Missouri system to be appointed Curators Professor and has been a visiting scholar in Karlsruhe and Cork. He has received the American Chemical Society St. Louis Award in 1974, the ACS Midwest Award in 1989, the University of Missouri Presidential Award for Research and Creativity in 1990 and the I. H. Weldon Medal of the Canadian Pulp and Paper Association in 1994. Professor Murray is well known for his research in the area of oxidation chemistry, particularly that involving ozone, singlet oxygen, hydrotrioxides and dioxiranes. His many contributions ha

Dawn L. Shiang, (BA 1983, Ph.D. 1987)
Dawn L. Shiang, (BA 1983, Ph.D. 1987), completed her Ph.D. degree under the direction of Curators Professor of Chemistry Robert W. Murray in physical organic chemistry in 1988, and went on to the Pennsylvania State University to do postdoctoral research. In 1990 Bill and Dawn Shiang went to work for the Dow Chemical Company in Midland in Michigan. Dawn s career at Dow has been nothing less than spectacular. She began her career at Dow doing process research in the laboratory in various areas and in a matter of ten years went from an entry-level Ph.D. bench chemist to, using old terminology, a Laboratory Director role. This is about twice as rapid as regular promotion rates at Dow. She spent some time in Geneva Switzerland with the company and between 2006 and 2010 was Director for Asia-Pacific Research for Dow in Shanghai and was responsible for planning and establishing the company s research presence there.
