How We Lead: Canada in a Century of Change is a passionate argument for Canada’s reassertion of its place on the world stage. In the world that is taking shape, the unique combination of Canada’s success at home as a diverse society and its reputation internationally as a sympathetic and respected partner constitute national assets that are at least as valuable as its natural-resource wealth. As the world becomes more competitive and complex, and the chances of deadly conflict grow, the example and the initiative of Canada can become more important than they have ever been. That depends on its people: assets have no value if Canadians don’t recognize or use them, or worse, if they waste them.
The Rt. Hon. Joe CLARK, P.C., C.C. served as a federal member of parliament for twenty-five years and held the most senior cabinet positions, including those of prime minister, foreign minister, minister of constitutional affairs, and president of the Privy Council. Mr. Clark continues to work with international foundations, associations, and businesses on issues of governance, democratic reform, security, and peace.
