ABSTRACT In this special issue, we outline some of the challenges that the Trump administration’s foreign policy approach poses for Canada and the international system and bring together several distinguished academics, practitioners, and analysts who have begun to address these concerns. First, we outline the components of the “America First” nationalism of the Trump administration and identify some of its consequences for Canada and the larger global community. Next, we discuss how the “America First” approach is part of an emerging challenge to liberal democracy and to the long-standing liberal international order worldwide. With the increase in nationalism and populism globally and with the erosion of democratic commitment and practice by more and more states, Canada’s traditional foreign policy of liberal internationalism is under increasing pressure to adapt and perhaps to change to maintain the global order. We have assembled a number of prominent scholars in this issue who offer important recommendations and prescriptions for the future direction of Canadian foreign policy.

迎接“美国优先”和新民族主义的挑战

摘要 在本期特刊中，我们概述了特朗普政府的外交政策方法给加拿大和国际体系带来的一些挑战，并汇集了几位已开始解决这些问题的杰出学者、实践者和分析人士。首先，我们概述了特朗普政府“美国优先”民族主义的组成部分，并确定其对加拿大和更大的全球社会的一些后果。接下来，我们将讨论“美国优先”方法如何成为对自由民主和世界范围内长期存在的自由国际秩序的新挑战的一部分。随着全球民族主义和民粹主义的抬头，以及越来越多的国家对民主承诺和实践的侵蚀，加拿大传统的自由国际主义外交政策面临着越来越大的压力，需要适应甚至改变以维持全球秩序。我们在这个问题上聚集了许多杰出的学者，他们为加拿大外交政策的未来方向提供了重要的建议和处方。
