To effectively bridge the gap between Canadians' experiences and issues happening thousands of kilometres away, Global Affairs Canada requires a solid understanding of how the Canadian public views international assistance and global issues. Global Affairs Canada would also benefit from knowing how the views of Canadians compare to those of people in other like-minded countries. This will enable Global Affairs Canada to make evidence-based decisions about how they frame communications messages, announcements, programs and policies"--Summary, page 4."

It is now forty-two years since the first volume in the series Documents on Canadian external relations (DCER) was published. To date, twenty- seven volumes have been completed, covering the period from the founding of the Department of External Affairs in 1909 up to 1960. They amply document the political issues that occupied Canada’s diplomats during those years, but inevitably, for reasons of space, many fascinating accounts showing the more human side of life in the department had to be excluded. This book combines some of the most vividly written and interesting documents from the published volumes, other more personal and colourful items selected from the wealth of material held at Library and Archives Canada, more recent records taken both from archival holdings and from the files still retained by Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada, and a few articles that first appeared in the magazine bout de papier.
