Cet article a comme objet les manquements a la discipline au cours des opérations de paix de l'armée canadienne en Somalie et dans l'ex‐Yougoslavie. L'auteure montre d'abord comment la cohésion et la loyauté ‐ deux aspects importants de l'efficacité au combat ‐ sont renforcées par la culture militaire canadienne, plus particulière‐ment par le systeme régimentaire de l'armée canadienne. Puis elle décrit la façon dont les liens affectifs puissants propres aux normes du combat créent des unités trés cohésives qui peuvent nuire au fonctionnement d'ensemble de l'organisation. This paper examines the breakdown of discipline in two Canadian peace operations in Somalia and in the former Yugoslavia. The author shows how cohesion and loyalty, which are considered important components of combat effectiveness, are reinforced by Canadian military culture—particularly the Regimental system of the Canadian Army. The author then goes on to describe how strong affective ties, which are encouraged by combat norms, create highly cohesive units that can actually impede the good functioning of the overall organization
