Justas for all? Innovation and UAVs in the Canadian forces
Canada owns and uses unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), but its military services have acquired and integrated them into their force structure and operations with different degrees of ease. Service differences are explained with a three variable innovation adoption framework that integrates cost, impetus, and disruptive nature. The Army and Navy framed UAVs as relatively inexpensive adaptive innovation that would help avoid operational failures. Th…
But who's flying the plane? Integrating UAVs into the Canadian and Danish armed forces
North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) members such as Canada and Denmark have transformed their military forces to better engage in expeditionary warfare. They are incorporating advanced technologies to find and strike targets precisely from great distances at little risk to themselves. The persistence of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) represents the next step in modern airpower's long-range reconnaissance/precision strike complex and has tr…
Civilian Combatants, Military Professionals? American Officer Judgments
States have increasingly replaced military personnel with armed civilian contractors. Are these civilians members of the military profession? I address this question in two ways. First, I assess whether armed contractors exhibit the characteristics of the profession of arms: expertise in the application and management of violence, provision of cost‐effective solutions within the jurisdiction of warfare, legitimacy derived from the state and polit…
Contractors as Military Professionals
The article presents information on a research study which compared the mindsets of military officers and private security contractors. The results are discussed in terms of U.S. military professionalism. The study indicated a need for better clarification of legal responsibilities in terms of contractor relations with the military. The study is also said to support the view that military combat roles should not be outsourced

Deterrence, Compellence, and Prospect Theory
Deterrence and compellence couple demands for inaction and action, respectively, to a threat of sanctions. Conventional wisdom holds that deterrence requires less coercive effort than compellence, yet expected utility theory contradicts this claim. Only if exogenous factors affect these situations in a systematic and asymmetrical manner will the claim hold within expected utility theory. Prospect theory provides a systematic and endogenous accoun…
Kosovo and the Evolution of State Sovereignty
The author argues that NATO's intervention in response to the Yugoslav government's repression in Kosovo may accelerate theinternational community's acceptance of the liberal-democratic nation of popular sovereignty over the Westphalian notion of state sovereignty. The tension between these rival conceptions, planted in the UN Charter itself, gestated throughout the Cold War. Unlike the incremental steps toward accepting notions of popular sovere…
