Limited War Revisited
Strategy and Ethnocentrism
Seapower and Arms Control
Since 1975 there has been a steady deterioration in politicaldiplomatic and military-strategic relations between the East and the West. The euphoria of May 1972, when Presidents Nixon and Brezhnev signed the Statement of Principles of Detente, has long since dissipated in the West, as a result of Soviet involvement in Angola, Mozambique, and Ethiopia, the Soviet brigade in Cuba, and finally the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. This pattern of inte…

Structural change and the policy process in the Department of National Defence
During the middle and late 1960s the Department of National Defence underwent substantial structural changes as a result of the reorganization of the Canadian armed forces. It can be hypothesized that members of the armed forces will resist change if vested interest or service identity are threatened, but will accept increased rationalization of the policy process. To test the hypotheses perceptions of senior officers who retired during reorganiz…
Perceptions of Parliamentary Surveillance of the Executive

Elle utilise pour cela les perceptions des parlementaires qui faisaient partie du comité permanent de la Défense nationale, en 1967. On prétend généralement, dans la littérature qui existe à ce sujet, que la surveillance n'est pas adéquate. Toutefois, elle peut varier d'un problème à l'autre. L'étude compare à cet égard la surveillance qui est exercée dans le …
