Abstract

The purpose of this article is to analyze Canada's interests and policies towards the Middle East and North Africa Region (MENA) in the post 9/11 era. The article focuses in particular on how Ottawa has understood Canada's role in the region as a “middle power” with limited resources. Furthermore it analyses how Canada's policies have been influenced by and coordinated with the Unites States, its main economic and military ally, and the European Union, the other major external actor in the MENA region. Finally, the article offers an evaluation of the state of play of Canadian policy towards this region in light of the most recent events of the Arab Spring and of Canadian participation in NATO's operation in Libya.
