This volume, the fourth in the series Studies in Commonwealth Politics and History, looks at one of the oldest bilateral relationships between two Commonwealth countries. It is thus at once a group of essays in the general field of international relations and a fitting contribution to Studies in Commonwealth History and Politics.

Relations between Britain and Canada have been important, are currently neglected and ought to become more significant. Those relations, previously uneven and unequal, now hold the promise of balanced development as fresh kinds of common ground axe discovered in our two countries' responses to shared problems. The book covers several aspects and is a survey rather than a detailed study. That is appropriate enough, since this first book on the subject is designed merely to draw attention to a theme of intrinsic interest and to indicate how it may be developed.

While the first volume of the series looked inquiringly at certain general features of British imperialism in Africa and Asia and the second examined minutely the politics and government of one particular part of the decolonized world, the present book is concerned with two western states. That all three properly belong in one series indicates the scope but also the coherence of Commonwealth studies. As a category of studyas well as a community of scholars with common traditions of learningthe Commonwealth is a region bounded by history, and Commonwealth studies must, even when they are concerned with our own times, focus in some measure on legacies and traditions and the ways in which these are challenged and adapted to produce the present from the past. At the same time the variety of states and cultures which invites comparative analysis is rendered manageable by the elements of common or exchanged experience.

By bringing together studies of individual states, particular institutions, cross-national comparisons or, as here, relations between states, the series aims to make its contribution to our understanding of the contemporary world.
