Canadian Defence Policy in Theory and Practice

by Thomas Juneau (Editor), Philippe Lagasse (Editor), Srdjan Vucetic (Editor)

This edited volume provides a comprehensive overview of contemporary debates and issues in Canadian defence policy studies. The contributors examine topics including the development of Canadian defence policy and strategic culture, North American defence cooperation, gender and diversity in the Canadian military, and defence procurement and the defence industrial base. Emphasizing the process of defence policy-making, rather than just the outcomes of that process, the book focuses on how political and organizational interests impact planning, as well as the standard operating procedures that shape Canadian defence policy and practices.

Very insightful! (please note that the ebook version had a few typos though. Stuff like "he" instead of "the" in several chapters.)
