Canada, the Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden have, to varying degrees, earned a reputation for being more responsive to Third World needs and aspirations than other developed industrial societies. This greater measure of humane internationalism is a product of the combined influence of a wide range of factors that includes religious, political, economic, and diplomatic traditions. But Cranford Pratt cautions against exaggerating the internationalist thrust of the North South policies, particularly in the case of Canada. In this volume a number of senior scholars offer interpretive essays on the North South policies of these four middle powers. The contributors have all worked extensively on these issues; they are neither naively optimistic nor fatigued and despondent about what has been accomplished or what lies ahead. The concluding chapter is a comparative study of the role of humane internationalism in the policies of these four countries and a prognosis of the influence which a humane middle-power internationalism may yet have on Northern responses to the challenge of global poverty.
