THE
WORLD WON'T WAIT: WHY CANADA NEEDS TO RETHINK ITS INTERNATIONAL
POLICIES
co-edited with Taylor Owen (University of Toronto Press, 2016)
The need for an ambitious and forward-looking
Canadian international strategy has never been greater. In
The World Won't Wait, some of Canada's brightest thinkers
respond. Covering both classic foreign policy issues such as
international security, human rights, and global institutions
and emerging issues like internet governance, climate change,
and sustainable development, their essays offer fresh and
provocative responses to today's challenges and opportunities.

DILEMMAS
OF STATEBUILDING: CONFRONTING THE CONTRADICTIONS OF POSTWAR PEACE
OPERATIONS
co-edited with Timothy D. Sisk
(Routledge, 2009)
"Roland Paris and Timothy Sisk have compiled the
essential guide to understanding the inherent contradictions
that lie at the heart of the statebuilding enterprise. Drawing
on a range of contemporary cases the volume's contributors
expertly dissect the dilemmas raised by the challenges of
coordination, security, political economy, institutional design,
and autonomy. Students, analysts or practitioners looking to
reflect on the process of statebuilding will find no better
place to start their enquiry." --Paul D. Williams, George
Washington University
