National Security Strategy
Canada’s National Security in
the Post-9/11 World: Strategy,
Interests, and Threats
Edited by David S. McDonough
After the terrorist attacks of 9/11,
which targeted the heart of financial
and military power in the United States,
Canada once again proved its credentials
as a key American ally. With the
imminent end of its combat role in
Afghanistan, however, it is time to take
stock of how Canada has adapted to the
exigencies of the post-9/11 world and to
consider the future directions for its
foreign, defence, and security policies.
This timely exploration and
re-assessment of Canada’s approach to
strategic affairs offers a diverse set
of nuanced, sometimes controversial, and
always insightful perspectives on the
most pressing security challenges that
Canada currently faces. Bringing
together noted experts on these issues
– including a Canadian Senator, a past
Minister of National Defence, former
high-level military officers, and top
scholars – this collection provides
powerful ideas and guidance for the
difficult task of formulating an
overarching national security strategy.
David S. McDonough is a PhD candidate in
the Department of Political Science at
Dalhousie University.
Anticipated publication date: Early
2012.
