Friends in need, friends indeed? Explaining variation in military support to Ukraine
The war in Ukraine has fostered a renewed sense of common purpose and solidarity in the West. It has also exposed deep-seated divisions regarding the provision of military support to Ukraine and the fate of the European strategic architecture. While some states have committed high levels of military support to Ukraine, others have limited their help to token military aid. This paper examines why democratic allies diverge in their foreign policy o…
Suckers and free riders: The determinants of military burden-sharing in the Russo-Ukrainian war
La culture stratégique québécoise à l’aune de la guerre en Ukraine
L’invasion de l’Ukraine par la Russie en février 2022 a suscité des réactions importantes au Québec, mettant de l’avant des traits distinctifs de sa culture stratégique. Cet article propose une analyse rigoureuse et systématique des attitudes québécoises face à la guerre en Ukraine, en examinant les discours des élites politiques, des élus et politiciens, des médias et de l’opinion publique du 1er novembre 2021 au 24 février 2024. L’objectif est …
Parliamentarizing war: Explaining legislative votes on Canadian military deployments
The parliamentarization of military deployments is a burgeoning area of study but has tended to neglect the peculiar cases of legislatures deprived of any war powers. This article contributes to this literature by examining the curious case of Canada. Since Canadian governments are not required to secure parliamentary support to deploy the military, it analyzes why they occasionally have and increasingly do. We propose and test four hypotheses to…
From Counterterrorism to Deterrence: The Evolution of Canada’s and Italy’s Defense Postures
How do US democratic allies perceive and adapt to the multiple challenges associated with the rise of multipolarity and the return of major war in Europe? This article examines how two US allies—Canada and Italy—have adapted their defense postures from the professed beginning of the shift in the balance of power in 2008 to Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. More specifically, it provides a comparison of three major dimensions of def…
Contested Strategic Cultures: Anglosphere Participation in the Coalition against Isis
The study of multinational military interventions highlights the importance of four major factors to account for combat participation in US-led coalitions: threat perceptions, alliance considerations, domestic politics, and strategic culture. The latter, however, has been overlooked or uncorroborated by major cross-national accounts of coalition warfare. Building on the fourth generation of scholars working on strategic culture as well as legisla…
Strategic hedgers? Australia and Canada's defence adaptation to the global power transition
The intensification of rivalries between the US and China, and, in recent years, between the US and Russia, has deeply affected how middle powers relate to these great powers. Scholars have argued that middle powers are increasingly adopting "hedging" strategies to maximize their benefits and limit the consequences of the great power competition for their security and status. This paper revisits the concept of hedging and assesses whether two pro…

America’s Allies and the Decline of U.S. Hegemony
Why Canada Goes to War: Explaining Combat Participation in US-led Coalitions
Canada has taken part in six wars since 1945, all of which have been conducted under US leadership. Despite such military interventionism, there have been no systematic comparative analyses of Canada's decisions to take part in US-led wars. The objective of this article is to develop and test a theoretical framework about why Canada goes to war. More specifically, it seeks to account for variations in Canada's provision of combat forces to multin…
Histoire militaire et politique étrangère: Les fondements de la reconstruction néoconservatrice du nationalisme canadien
De 2006 à 2015, Stephen Harper a cherché à redéfinir l’identité canadienne en remplaçant le nationalisme libéral par un nationalisme néoconservateur. S’inspirant des « études du nationalisme », cet article propose trois conditions nécessaires à l’émergence d’un nouveau nationalisme : sentiment d’exclusion sociopolitique ; mobilisation politique de ce sentiment ; redécouverte et réinterprétation de l’histoire nationale. L’article explore cette der…
Alliance Value and Status Enhancement: Canada's Disproportionate Military Burden Sharing in Afghanistan
In choosing not to free ride while the United States was in Afghanistan, second‐tier powers like Canada challenge conventional accounts of military burden sharing. To elucidate the puzzle posed by excessive military contributions, the article considers two explanatory factors: alliance value and status seeking. We pair them with insights on elite consensus to explain Canada's desire to have a large role in the war in Afghanistan. We argue that it…
The French in the heart of North America? ‘Civilisation rallying’, national unity, and the geopolitical significance of 1917
Ideology, ballots, and alliances: Canadian participation in multinational military operations
The decision to employ force abroad is often a contentious political decision, where partisanship plays a crucial role. Prior to military intervention, political parties usually make their ideologically distinctive preferences clear and seek to implement them once in power. What remains unclear, however, is how ideology affects the decision to use military force. This article contends that alliance and electoral calculations constrain the ability…
Un selfie avec Justin Trudeau: Regard critique sur la diplomatie du premier ministre Québec Amérique by Jocelyn Coulon
Par-delà les champs de compétence: L'affirmation du Québec en matière de guerre et de paix
La doctrine Gérin-Lajoie, qui fonde l'action internationale du Québec depuis les années 1960, s'exprime conventionnellement comme le prolongement externe des compétences internes du Québec. Comment alors expliquer que les élus québécois prennent régulièrement position sur certains conflits internationaux, qui relèvent pourtant clairement de la compétence du gouvernement fédéral ? Cet article offre un premier éclairage sur les motivations des élus…
In or out? Canada, the Netherlands, and support to the invasion of Iraq
How do democratic allies manage their participation in U.S.-led coalition operations? This article compares the Canadian and Dutch management of domestic and international expectations of support to the 2003 invasion of Iraq. It argues that the decision whether to support coalition operations often does not amount to a simplistic “yes” or “no” answer. It entails a management process involving several strategies, as well as a wide range of mutuall…
Role conflict: Canada’s withdrawal from combat operations against Isil
This paper seeks to understand the peculiarity of the Trudeau government’s decision to withdraw Canadian fighter jets from Iraq and Syria. Most studies have focused on electoral turnover to account for early withdrawal from coalition operations. Yet no study offers a plausible explanation for why a centrist challenger, such as Trudeau, favoured early withdrawal despite public support and alliance pressure for continued involvement, and committed …
Southern (Over) Exposure? Quebec and the Evolution of Canada’s Grand Strategy, 2002–2012
One of the most persistent themes in the debate on Canadian foreign policy over the past few decades concerns the influence Quebec is thought to possess over the design and implementation of Canadian foreign and defense policy. Our purpose in this article is to situate this general debate within a more specific context, of Canada’s grand strategic choices as they principally involve the country’s security and defense relations with the US. To do …
Why Democratic Allies Defect Prematurely: Canadian and Dutch Unilateral Pullouts from the War in Afghanistan
Why do some democratic allies prematurely withdraw from ongoing military US-led coalition operations? Why are some democratic allies more reliable than others? This article proposes a multifactorial integrated framework consisting of several causal mechanisms drawn from ideological, domestic, and alliance explanations of premature defection. It compares and contrasts two neglected case studies, namely the Canadian and Dutch withdrawal of combat t…
Obama’s leadership style: Enabling transatlantic allies in Libya and Mali
Public Contestation and Policy Resistance: Canada's Oversized Military Commitment to Afghanistan
This paper examines the domestic enablers and constraints to oversized coalition burdensharing. Using the Canadian case study, it explores the conditions under which state leaders are successful in imposing their policy preferences to a critical public, despite little tangible benefits in return. The paper develops a neoclassical realist framework which focuses on domestic determinants of alliance burdensharing, namely elite consensus, strategic …
Francosphère: L'importance de la France dans la culture stratégique du Canada
La France exerce-t-elle une influence sur la politique de securite internationale du Canada? S’il est aventureux d’affirmer que le Canada a toujours combattu pour la France, il est clair que le Canada a toujours combattu aux cotes de la France, avec pour seule exception l’intervention militaire britannique en Afrique du Sud a la fin du xixe siecle. La France est ainsi une alliee de guerre du Canada de plus longue date que ne le sont les Etats-Uni…
Canada’s war for prestige in Afghanistan: A realist paradox
This article provides a comprehensive assessment of Canada’s prolonged and sizable military engagement in the war in Afghanistan in light of confounding expectations set by realism. It argues, from the perspective of neoclassical realism, that United States unipolarity, domestic elite consensus on an Atlanticist security policy, and executive autonomy vis-à-vis public dissent best account for Canada’s evolving Afghanistan policy. These necessary …
Francophonie and peace operations: Towards geocultural ownership
This article critically examines the purposes and objectives of the Organisation internationale de la Francophonie (OIF). While analysts debate whether the OIF is a hegemonic or counter-hegemonic instrument of statecraft, we argue that it is an institution founded upon the principle of geopolitical ownership of a distinctive geocultural space. Its prime task, with regard to conflict resolution, is to help transfer responsibilities and capabilitie…
I'm a Keep Rising. I'm a Keep Going Forward, Regardless: Exploring Black Men’s Resilience Amid Sociostructural Challenges and Stressors
A growing number of health and social science research findings document Black men's adversities, but far less is known about their strengths. The purpose of this study was to explore resilience among low-income, urban, Black men. Semistructured interviews produced rich narratives, which uncovered numerous sociostructural stressors in men's lives, such as racism, incarceration, and unemployment. Most men were resilient despite these challenges, h…

Making Sense of Canada's "irrational" International Security Policy: A Tale of Three Strategic Cultures
According to certain realist standards, Canada's post-9/11 international security policy is irrational. Prominent realists have noted that the Jean Chretien government's decision to forego a role in the Iraq War was anomalous, inconsistent, and bizarre.1 WaI economic and security interests, as well as Canada's independence and influence, are also said to have demanded a reversal of Prime Minister Paul Martin's 2005 decision to decline participati…

Canada's (In)dependence in the North American Security Community: The Asymmetrical Norm of Common Fate
How does Canada succeed in resisting American pressures in North America? This question has been asked repeatedly throughout Canadian history, with no end in sight for the interrogation, especially during times, such as the past couple of years, when thoughts (and fears) have strayed to the issue of American neo-imperialism. (1) In the realm of and defense, two contending schools of thought have emerged, at least among those who worry about inord…

Quadrilatère transatlantique: Sources de légitimité politique de l’usage de la force militaire au Canada
Quelles sont les sources de légitimité de l'usage de la force militaire au Canada? L'identification des conditions jugées nécessaires par les élites politiques canadiennes pour recourir à la force militaire à l'étranger est primordiale pour une meilleure compréhension de l'évolution des pratiques militaires du Canada depuis la fin de la guerre froide. Ce texte postule que la France exerce une influence centrale sur la culture stratégique du Canad…
Has Québec Become a Northern Mexico? Public Opinion and America's “Long War”
In contrast with Mexico, a consistent pattern of anti-Americanism has never been present in Québec, but there has been an ostensible upsurge in anti-American sentiment recently. This article asks whether Québec has become a "northern Mexico" with respect to societal attitudes displayed toward the United States. To answer this, we first explore the argument that Mexico is effectively an axiomatically anti-American land. We then examine public opin…
Canadian Security Policy: New Perspectives and Debates
Studies of Canadian security policy have traditionally centred on certain key debates and issues, such as Canada's role in multilateral organizations; its international standing as a middle, model, or principal power; and the relative importance of the United States in Canada's international security policies. With the end of the Cold War, a number of other perspectives and debates took their place alongside these established issues and concerns.…

Hijacking a Policy? Assessing Quebec's “Undue” Influence on Canada's Afghan Policy
This article attempts to counter the conventional wisdom surrounding Quebec's “undue” influence on Canada's international security policy. Focusing on the war in Afghanistan, it argues that this influence is substantially exaggerated and that if Quebec's distinct attitudes have had an influence on Canada's Afghan policy, they have actually contributed to strengthening rather than hampering its legitimacy. The article is divided into three parts. …

Photos to ‘show the world what we’re going through’: Women use images to talk about living with HIV/Aids
The growing number of women living with HIV/AIDS (WLH/A) underscores the importance of effective prevention programmes to help women promote their own health and protect their partners from HIV transmission. We elicited WLH/A perspectives about their health promotion and prevention programme needs in a photovoice project called Sharing Stories. Photovoice is a qualitative, participatory research method that uses photography and critical group dia…
Identités ethnoculturelles et politique étrangère: Le cas de la politique française du Canada
Cet article propose, grâce à la notion de culture stratégique, une articulation du lien entre identité et politique étrangère. Il met plus particulièrement l'accent sur les effets des identités ethnoculturelles (anglophone et francophone) sur la politique de sécurité internationale du Canada, et soutient l'hypothèse qu'il en résulte une culture stratégique atlantiste et biculturelle, laquelle accorde une importance particulière à la France (de mê…
