The Politics of War: Canada's Afghanistan Mission, 2001-14 by Kim Richard Nossal

Description: The Politics of War by Kim Richard Nossal, Jean-Christophe Boucher Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description The Politics of War analyzes the impact of political elites, Parliament, and public opinion on Canadas mission in Afghanistan to demonstrate how much of Canadas involvement was shaped by the vagaries of domestic politics. Publisher Description When the Canadian government committed forces to join the military mission in Afghanistan following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, little did it foresee that this decision would involve Canada in a war-riven country for over a decade. The Politics of War explores how, as the mission became increasingly unpopular, Canadian politicians across the political spectrum began to use it to score points against their opponents. This was "politics" with a vengeance.Through historical analysis of the public record and interviews with officials, Jean-Christophe Boucher and Kim Richard Nossal show how the Canadian government sought to frame the engagement in Afghanistan as a "mission" rather than what it was – a war. They examine the efforts of successive governments to convince Canadians of the rightness of Canadas engagement, the parliamentary politics that resulted from the increasing politicization of the mission, and the impact of public opinion on Canadas involvement. This contribution to the field of Canadian foreign policy demonstrates how much of Canadas war in Afghanistan was shaped by the vagaries of domestic politics and political gamesmanship.
