In Working for Canada he shares that expertise, illuminating the often invisible work of creating and enacting international policy. Writing with clarity, wit, and common sense, White demystifies Canadian diplomacy and provides a clear view of how it actually works?and when it doesn?t. Reflecting on the headlines, highlights, and sometimes scandals of a long and successful career, White offers a highly readable blend of personal recollection and political insight. He begins with his first assignment in communications planning during the 1991 Persian Gulf War and continues through the establishment of NAFTA, humanitarian intervention in Kosovo, softwood lumber, during assignments at headquarters and in Canadian embassies abroad. He shares his experiences of negotiating aviation agreements with foreign governments, and of diplomatic efforts aimed at restoring and protecting human rights. Working for Canada is a fascinating memoir tracing a career spent in the service of Canada and Canadians. At the same time, it provides an unparalleled insider view into communications, negotiations, international trade, and diplomacy. 410 0$aBeyond Boundaries: Canadian Defence and Strategic Studies 606 $aBIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Political$2bisacsh 607 $aCanada$xForeign relations 610 $aCanada. 610 $aCanadian. 610 $adiplomacy. 610 $aforeign affairs. 610 $ainternational negotiation. 610 $amemoir. 610 $apolitical careers. 610 $apolitical communication. 610 $apolitical memoir. 610 $apolitics. 610 $atrade agreements. 610 $atrade negotiation. 615 7$aBIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Political. 676 $a327.71 700 $aWhite$b Geoff$01134032 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910774764903321 996 $aWorking for Canada$93013757 997 $aUNINA
