Geopolitical Integrity (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780886451899)

A renewed commitment to the military, national security, and engagement in the world is of critical importance for Canada. Geopolitical Integrity consolidates the Institute for Research on Public Policy's (IRPP) contribution to this topic with a collection of incisive and in-depth essays.

Culled from IRPP's National Security and Interoperability research series, initiated in June 2001, and presentations delivered at IRPP seminars and symposia on Canada's global and hemispheric priorities and the foreign and defence policy options and challenges that those priorities dictate, the papers in this volume cover Canada's geopolitical integrity, the Canadian Forces, their structure, and Operation IRAQI Freedom; Canada's place within military coalitions; a national security framework for Canada; the strategy and politics of Canada-US Naval interoperability; the challenges posed by different cultural backgrounds in multinational land forces and the effects of American, British, and other allied force planning; why virtue is not reward enough in being an ally; and Canada's post-conflict options worldwide.

Contributors include Thomas S. Axworthy (Queen's University), Douglas Bland (Queen's University), Ann M. Fitz-Gerald (Cranfield University), W.D. MacNamara (Queen's University), Sean M. Maloney (Queen's University), Danford W. Middlemiss (Dalhousie University), Joel Sokolsky (Royal Military College), and Denis Stairs (Dalhousie University).
