Multilateralism is an international relations term that refers to multiple countries working in concert. Most international organizations, such as the United Nations and the World Trade Organization, are multilateral in nature. The main proponents of multilateralism have traditionally been the middle powers such as Canada and the Nordic countries. Larger states often act unilaterally, while the smaller ones may have little direct power at all in international affairs aside from participation in the United Nations (by consolidating their U.N. vote in a voting bloc with other nations, for example). The converse of multilateralism is unilateralism in terms of political philosophy.

(Internationalism)Internationalism is the attitude or policy of cooperating with other nations for the good of the world. Americans and, even more so, peoples in Europe and Asia had faced hardships during World War II. The U.S. hoped an internationalist policy would prevent another war from happening. This is the main reason the U.S. helped create, and then joined, the United Nations.
Since WW2 Mexico has tried to use diplomacy and multilateralism to solve international crises. This often has put it at odds against other countries such as the United States, which prefers the military solution and unilateralism to most issues.
Much of Canada and international policy has been based on principles of multilateralism, diplomacy, and respect for human rights. Canada often emphasizes collaborative approaches to global challenges, such as climate change and peacekeeping. Additionally, the country upholds a commitment to international law and the promotion of democratic values. This framework shapes its interactions with other nations and international organizations.
