Blue Storm: The Rise and Fall of Jason Kenney
In 2019, the United Conservative Party, under the leadership of Jason Kenney, unseated the New Democratic Party to form the provincial government of Alberta. A restoration of conservative power in a province that had seen the Progressive Conservatives win every election from 1971-2015, UCP quickly began to make political waves. This is the first scholarly analysis of the 2019 election and the first years of the UCP government, with special focus …

Defense Against Help: Explaining Canada-U.S. Security Relations
A core concept in international relations theory, especially among realists, is survive in an anarchical world, states must rely on self-help. As John Mearsheimer explains, [S]tates cannot depend on others for their own security. Each state tends see itself as vulnerable and alone, and therefore it aims provide for its own survival.... This emphasis on self-help does not preclude states from forming alliances. But alliances are only temporary mar…
Ethics and Foreign Intervention
Ethics and Foreign Intervention, Deen K. Chatterjee and Don E. Scheid, eds., Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2003, pp. xiii, 301 The 1990s saw the gradual, but steady, expansion of the doctrine of humanitarian military intervention in places like northern Iraq, Somalia, Haiti, and Bosnia. This process culminated in the 1999 Kosovo war which saw NATO bomb Serb targets to prevent the ethnic cleansing of Kosovar Albanians. Ethics and Foreign …
Blue Condoms: The Use of International Peacekeepers in the Fight against Aids
The role of UN peacekeepers in combating AIDS has two main dimensions. One of them is the role of peacekeepers in the spread of AIDS. This has led to efforts, at both the national and international levels, to incorporate AIDS prevention awareness skills in the training of UN peacekeepers. A second dimension concerns AIDS prevention responsibilities as part of the mandate of peacekeeping operations. For example, by quarantining AIDS-infected group…
Peace over Justice: Developing a Framework for UN Peacekeeping Operations in Internal Conflicts
Explaining peacekeeping performance: The UN in internal conflicts
Operations in internal conflicts represent the largest growth area in United Nations peacekeeping. Unfortunately, the level of success that these operations have achieved has ranged from cautious success to disastrous failure. This article offers an explanation of this varied performance by identifying, and weighing the importance of, six key variables: the role of the parties to the conflict; the existence of a Comprehensive Settlement Agreement…

Assessing the success of UN peacekeeping operations
Despite the growth in the study of UN peacekeeping, one crucial aspect has been neglected: how to judge whether a peacekeeping operation has been successful or not. There are four ways that operational success can be measured: mandate performance, facilitation of conflict resolution, conflict containment, and limitation of casualties. Each of these indicators is explored to determine its validity and relative importance. Then, using these criteri…
