ABSTRACT

This special issue of CFPJ has introduced systemism, a graphic approach to the study of Canadian foreign policy and International Relations (IR). It is beyond the scope of this final essay to cover even a fraction of the insights and critiques that have been offered along the way, so a few items are identified as particularly salient with regard to recognizing what has been accomplished so far and identifying new directions for research in tandem with systemism. The brief essay that follows will focus on the following topics: gains in substantive knowledge; insights about theorizing; pedagogical applications; reflections on progress; and decision-making support. The essay concludes with a few general reflections about the future of systemism, Canadian foreign policy and IR.

摘要

本期CFPJ 特刊介绍了系统主义，这是一种研究加拿大外交政策和国际关系 (IR) 的图形方法。甚至涵盖沿途提供的一小部分见解和批评都超出了本文的范围，因此在识别迄今为止已取得的成就和确定新方向方面，有几项内容特别突出与系统主义相结合的研究。接下来的简短文章将重点关注以下主题：获得实质性知识；关于理论的见解；教学应用；对进展的反思；和决策支持。文章最后对系统主义、加拿大外交政策和国际关系的未来进行了一些总体反思。
