This book was released on 2004 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After more than ten years of effort by many states to control and redress conflicts in the Balkans, Africa, the Middle East, and elsewhere, Canadian political and military leaders are still struggling to adjust defence policies and to build armed forces relevant to the international security situation Canada faces today. But the unending demand of what on the surface seem to be disparate operations and the absence of any overarching description of strategic reality confounds these efforts. Policies drawn from theories appropriate to the cold war era and "classic" peacekeeping missions are out of step with the demands of the past ten years and the future and make it difficult to develop new ways of thinking about defence policy and force development to deal with the world we live in. In Campaigns for International Stability the authors see a new pattern emerging from ten years of experience and seemingly different operations. "The post-cold war era" has been superceded by the stability campaign - a continuous diplomatic and military endeavour by states in various types of coalitions to halt conflicts, disarm belligerents, and police lawless regions around the world to bring "peace, order and good government" to international affairs. Armed force, and sometimes deadly force, is the central and necessary component of this campaign, but what type of force and what type of policies are appropriate to this new era? The authors address this question in a discussion of defence policy and management in Canada since 1989 and their relation to the needs of the stability campaign. They describe policy making in a Canadian context, political and other domestic factors that shape Canada's military capabilities, and the influence of the defence budgeting process on policy choices. Finally, the authors set out a new defence-policy framework for rebuilding and transforming both policy and the Canadian Armed Forces over the next ten years to meet the challenges of the stability campaign.

School of Policy Studies and published by Published for the School of Policy Studies, Queen's University by McGill-Queen's University Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Canadian Armed Forces is collapsing - not might or could collapse but is collapsing. The problems with the navy's marine helicopters that dogged Jean Chretien during his tenure as prime minister are only a sample of the problems facing today's military. Besides the three billion dollars needed to replace these essential pieces of hardware, billions more will be required over the next few years to replace transport aircraft, navy destroyers, and army logistic vehicles - to list just a few. The estimated budgetary shortfall for equipment replacement for the period ending 2008 is approximately $15 billion dollars - and equipment replacement isn't the military's most pressing problem. Even more critical is personnel. The men and women of the Canadian Armed Forces are being called upon to participate in too many missions, which not only causes fatigue and burn-out but is seriously affecting training, particularly for new recruits who do menial tasks at home while the people who should be training them participate in foreign missions. Canada Without Armed Forces? offers a way out of this morass, with concrete proposals that will allow the Canadian military to regain its stature among ordinary Canadians and on the world stage and will enable our military forces to once again become an effective tool for our foreign policy. Contributors include Brian MacDonald (President, Strategic Insight Planning and Communications), Christopher Ankersen (graduate student, London School of Economics), and Howie Marsh (Conference of Defence Associations).

Download or read book Beyond Afghanistan written by James Fergusson and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2016-07-22 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For over a decade, Canada’s participation in the war in Afghanistan dominated media headlines, government discussions, academic studies, and the public international security debate, often to the exclusion of issues that have traditionally shaped Canadian approaches to security and defence policy. Now that the mission in Afghanistan is over, what issues should define Canada’s international security agenda? This collection of essays, written by leading observers of Canadian policy, seeks to answer this question by investigating how Canada will likely respond to new threats and security challenges in light of the experience gained in Afghanistan. Topics include the future place of NATO in defence and security policy; emerging regions of concern and interest; and nuclear weapons and arms control, including missile defence and the military use of space.

Download or read book Who Killed the Canadian Military written by J. L. Granatstein and published by HarperFlamingo. This book was released on 2004 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Jack Granatstein’s Who Killed the Canadian Military? is more than a history of the decline and rustout of a military that as late as 1966 boasted 3,826 aircraft (including cutting-edge Sea King helicopters) as opposed to today’s 328 aircraft-including those same Sea Kings and CF-18 fighters whose avionics are a generation out of date; the same can be said of the army and navy. Granatstein’s book is a convincing analysis of Canada’s embrace of a delusional foreign policy that equates knee jerk anti-Americanism with sovereignty and forgets that in a Hobbesian world of international relations, “power still comes primarily from the barrel of a gun” and not from Steven Lewis’s speeches about Canadian goodwill, tolerance or humanitarianism."--from amazon.com product desc.
