Locating Global Order - American Power and Canadian Security after 9/11 (Paperback)

While the events of 9/11 provoked countless debates about
international politics, security, and global order, one question
dominates. Should the United States don the mantle of empire for the
sake of world peace, or will peace come through world government?

This volume questions the very assumptions of this debate --
that the political order is hierarchical, with state and international
institutions at the top and individuals and groups at the bottom. Case
studies dealing with Canada's role in the construction and
maintenance of global order, both domestically and internationally,
reveal that the location of social and political practices creating
global order is no longer certain. How are these practices influencing
America's ability to structure its power around the world? What
are the links between Canadian security policy, our involvement in the
war in Afghanistan, and US power?
Rather than taking the state and international system for granted, this
timely and remarkable book demonstrates that global order post-9/11 is
not exclusively American -- allied powers are a key component of
its hegemony.
