The authors challenge critics who dismiss Reid as an impractical idealist, demonstrating that his approach to policy-making was sophisticated and his progressive idealism tempered by an astute grasp of the competing interests of a range of national and bureaucratic powers. Reid's reflections on Canada's place in the world remain as relevant and provocative as when he wrote them."--Jacket Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 127-135) and index Notes English Print version record Subject Reid, Escott SUBJECT Reid, Escott fast Reid, Escott, (1905- ...) -- Biographies. ram Reid, Escott. swd Subject World Bank -- Officials and employees -- Biography Glendon College -- Officials and employees -- Biography SUBJECT Glendon College fast World Bank fast Subject Diplomats -- Canada -- Biography Intellectuals -- Canada -- Biography BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY -- Political.
