16 Armed Forces & Soc'y 9 (1989-1990)

handle is hein.journals/amdfcsad16 and id is 1 raw text is: Introduction CYNTHIA A. CANNIZZO National Defence Headquarters Guest Editor This special edition of Armed Forces & Society on Canada has been a long time in the making. The idea was first raised at a 1981 IUS meeting in Chicago. Since that time we have gone through several ver- sions, several word processors, and a variety of contributors; most im- portantly, Canada has undergone a number of major alterations in the orientation and implementation of its defense policy. What has emerged is, I believe, an up-to-date and sound analysis of many aspects of Cana- dian defense policy. Unfortunately, not every topic could be covered due to space limitations. We hope that this Special Edition will encourage greater interest in Canadian affairs. Canada and what happens to the country's military and defense policy are of importance and interest to other countries for a variety of rea- sons. With membership in the British Commonwealth and the French La Francophonie, Canada has important links to many Third World coun- tries. With the United States, Canada is a partner in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the North American Aerospace Defense Com- mand, and interaction between the defense staffs and military person- nel of the two countries is a daily and routine affair. Moreover, the U.S. and Canadian defense industrial bases are interwoven. Indeed, in the 1988 Defense Authorization Act, the U.S. domestic defense industrial base is defined to include Canada. Canadian defense policy is simple in its broad outlines but intri- cately subtle in its domestic and international nuances. The Sokolsky article addresses the bedrock of Canadian security policy-alliances- tracing the main themes and historical evolution from Britain to the United States as the great power with which Canada was most closely aligned. He discusses in some detail the 1987 White Paper and the subsequent volte-face occasioned by budgetary considerations. One of the more fascinating but least studied areas of Canadian de- fense and military affairs is the way in which the government uses the Department of National Defence and the Canadian armed forces for what might be loosely termed social experimentation.
