It aims to propose solution-based strategies to address significant diplomatic dilemmas, particularly highlighted during the global pandemic. By introducing a 'human security diplomacy' framework, it seeks to align Canadian values with national interests. The conclusion offers an optimistic perspective on future relations, along with actionable recommendations for improvement.

The book offers a unique interdisciplinary approach by integrating political science, sociology, and history, addressing gaps in current literature. It aims to provide a comprehensive analysis that combines various methodologies, making it a valuable resource for those interested in a multifaceted understanding of social and political dynamics.
