Canadian Defence Procurement and the Project Approval Process
Marked delays in defence acquisitions in Canada have repeatedly raised concerns about the efficiency of its military procurement system. Observers point to the lack of a single point of accountability in defence procurement, a culture of risk aversion, and layers of bureaucratic process as key sources of the problem. Drawing on the project approval process that is set out in the Department of National Defence Project Approval Directive, this arti…
National shipbuilding strategies in Australia, Britain, and Canada
This article conducts a comparative analysis of naval shipbuilding approaches by Australia, Britain, and Canada with a view to promoting wider understanding of naval shipbuilding in Canada. Through various strategic and tactical factors, it illuminates how Canadians got to where they are in naval shipbuilding, which processes should be kept, and where there are shortfalls. With a focus on large naval ships, defined as 1000 tons or heavier, the ar…
Equity in resilience: A case study of community resilience to wildfire in southwestern Oregon, United States
In the fire-prone and fire-adapted landscape of the Rogue River Basin of southwestern Oregon, communities mobilize to prepare, respond, and recover from wildfire while modifying the current social and ecological system. Marginalized communities are often most affected and least prepared for disturbances of this kind, where racism, colonialism, and structural equities prevent meaningful inclusion and equitable allocation of resources. This researc…

America's rebalance to the Asia-Pacific: The impact on Canada's strategic thinking and maritime posture
This paper examines the impact of the US pivot to the Asia-Pacific on Canada's strategic thinking and maritime posture. It highlights elements of the US rebalance before examining Canada's recent past, present, and future strategic and military engagement. Canada wants to be able to contribute to crisis de-escalation if regional tensions lead to conflict, yet the Royal Canadian Navy has less deployment capacity today than it has had in 25 years. …
US-China Military and Security Developments: Implications for Canada
Implications for CanadaThe rise of China, foretold for more than a century, brings with it multidimensional repercussions for Canada and the world. Significant changes in the areas of energy, the environment, industry, and trade are taking place against the backdrop of a new security landscape as China's strategic outlook and military power evolve in line with its economic growth and, importantly, as the United States responds to these circumstan…
Continental and Homeland Security: From Bush to Obama
Surrounded by oceans and friendly neighbours, and faced throughout the Cold War with a direct threat to its territory against which there was no effective defence (nuclear armed ballistic missiles), the United States has historically looked mainly overseas to guarantee its security. To many outside observers, the obvious American response to the terrorist attacks of n September 2001 might have been to focus less on measures abroad and more on tho…
Security and Defence in the Terrorist Era: Canada and North America
National security is one of the most contentious topics in public policy and politics and one of the most important for the twenty-first century. Since the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001, security and defence have undergone such unprecedented overhauls that even recently implemented policies require reexamination. In this second edition of Security and Defence in the Terrorist Era, Elinor Sloan provides a significantly revised and updated…
The Revolution in Military Affairs: Implications for Canada and Nato
Beyond Primacy: American Grand Strategy in the Post-September 11 Era
IN SEPTEMBER 2002, THE ADMINISTRATION of George W. Bush released its National Security Strategy for the United States. Academics, policy-makers, and members of the media around the world immediately seized upon the document's notable move away from the cold war strategies of deterrence and containment and towards the option of conducting pre-emptive military operations against emerging threats.While this is indeed a momentous change, it has overs…
The Revolution in Military Affairs: Implications for Canada and Nato
Although the RMA has been the subject of much discussion in the United States for over a decade, it has not received the same level of analytic attention in Canada and other NATO and allied countries. Sloan examines the RMA in the context of Canada, Australia, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom in addition to assessing the transformation efforts of the United States Military. She concludes that small and medium military powers such as Canada…
