Description
Book SynopsisThe continuity and change in Canada's relationship with Ukraine since the breakup of the Soviet Union.
Trade Review"A comprehensive, detailed account of Canada’s relationship with Ukraine from the late glasnost years through the present, Strategic Friends is the first work that covers this topic in such breadth. It makes a valuable contribution at a time when Ukraine is so strategically important due to Russia’s aggression against it." Marta Dyczok, University of Western Ontario
"One of the valuable contributions of this well-written book is its controlled demolition of the myth of the constant and disproportionate influence on Canada's post-Cold War policies by the organized, Cold War-minded Ukrainian Canadian community. In fact, the Canadian government's relationship with the Ukrainian Canadian Congress (UCC) is shown by Kordan to have been a fluctuating one, depending on a confluence of interests rather than being a story of steady and undue influence."
