Canada and Ballistic Missile Defence, 1954-2009
商品資訊
商品簡介
Since the mid-1950s, successive Canadian governments have grappled
with the issue of Canada's participation in US ballistic missile
defence programs. Until Paul Martin's Liberal government finally
said no, policy-makers responded to US initiatives with fear and
uncertainty as they endlessly debated the implications -- at home
and abroad -- of participation. However, whether this is the end
of the story remains to be seen.
Drawing on previously classified government documents and interviews
with senior officials, James Fergusson assesses Canada's policy
deliberations and rationales for avoiding a definitive commitment in
response to five major US initiatives. He reveals that a combination of
factors resulted in indecision: weak leadership, wrangling between the
Departments of External Affairs and National Defence, a belief that the
United States would defend Canada without much Canadian participation,
and a tendency to place uncertain and ill-defined notions of
international security before national defence. Successive Canadian
governments have failed to transform the debate over ballistic missile
defence into an opportunity to define Canada's strategic
interests at home and on the world stage.
Balanced and engaging, Canada and Ballistic Missile Defense
offers the first full account of Canada's uncertain response to
US ballistic missile defence initiatives and an exploration of the
implications of this indecision.
