摘要
Canadians tend to perceive Canada's historic engagement and influence in Africa in ways very much disconnected from reality. Canada's self-image as a humane internationalist country deeply engaged with Africa relies on an idealized version of history. Nevertheless, there have been times when the reality of Canadian foreign policy engagement with Africa has been much closer to that ideal than it is now. This paper seeks to contribute to the debate on Canada-Africa relations by building greater understanding of Canada's position in Africa. It tackles the question of Canada's engagement with Africa by analyzing three broad aspects of a possible relationship between a developed country and developing region: the economic, developmental, and trans-societal. Analysis of these three areas of interaction provides insight into what could be done to renew or reinvigorate Canada's engagement with Africa.
