Intelligence Analysis and Policy Making - The Canadian Experience (Paperback): Thomas Juneau, Stephanie Carvin Intelligence Analysis and Policy Making - The Canadian Experience (Paperback)
Thomas Juneau, Stephanie Carvin
R795 Discovery Miles 7 950 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Canada is a key member of the world's most important international intelligence-sharing partnership, the Five Eyes, along with the US, the UK, New Zealand, and Australia. Until now, few scholars have looked beyond the US to study how effectively intelligence analysts support policy makers, who rely on timely, forward-thinking insights to shape high-level foreign, national security, and defense policy. Intelligence Analysis and Policy Making provides the first in-depth look at the relationship between intelligence and policy in Canada. Thomas Juneau and Stephanie Carvin, both former analysts in the Canadian national security sector, conducted seventy in-depth interviews with serving and retired policy and intelligence practitioners, at a time when Canada's intelligence community underwent sweeping institutional changes. Juneau and Carvin provide critical recommendations for improving intelligence performance in supporting policy—with implications for other countries that, like Canada, are not superpowers but small or mid-sized countries in need of intelligence that supports their unique interests.

Iranian Foreign Policy Since 2001 - Alone in the World (Paperback): Thomas Juneau, Sam Razavi Iranian Foreign Policy Since 2001 - Alone in the World (Paperback)
Thomas Juneau, Sam Razavi
R1,473 Discovery Miles 14 730 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Examining Iranian foreign policy, with a focus on the years since 2001, this book analyses the defining feature of Iran's international and regional posture, its strategic loneliness, and the implications of this for the Islamic Republic's foreign policy. Iranian Foreign Policy since 2001 offers an in-depth analysis of the key drivers behind Iran's foreign policy; power, strategic culture, and ideology. In addition, the authors examine Iran's relations with key countries and regions, including its often tenuous relations with China, Russia and America, as well as its bilateral relations with non-state actors such as Hezbollah. The common thread running throughout the volume is that Iran is alone in the world: regardless of its political manoeuvrings, the Islamic Republic's regional and international posture is largely one of strategic loneliness. Assimilating contributions from the US, Canada, Europe and Iran, this book provides an international perspective, both at the theoretical and practical levels and is essential reading for those with an interest in Middle Eastern Politics, International Relations and Political Science more broadly.

Thomas Juneau, Philippe Lagasse, Srdjan Vucetic
R1,839 Discovery Miles 18 390 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

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.

Squandered Opportunity - Neoclassical Realism and Iranian Foreign Policy (Hardcover): Thomas Juneau Squandered Opportunity - Neoclassical Realism and Iranian Foreign Policy (Hardcover)
Thomas Juneau
R2,187 Discovery Miles 21 870 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The Islamic Republic of Iran faced a favorable strategic environment following the US invasions of Afghanistan in 2001 and Iraq in 2003. Its leadership attempted to exploit this window of opportunity by assertively seeking to expand Iran's interests throughout the Middle East. It fell far short, however, of fulfilling its long-standing ambition of becoming the dominant power in the Persian Gulf and a leading regional power in the broader Middle East. In Squandered Opportunity, Thomas Juneau develops a variant of neoclassical realism, a theory of foreign policy mistakes, to explore the causes and consequences of Iran's sub-optimal performance. He argues that while rising power drove Iranian assertiveness-as most variants of realism would predict-the peculiar nature of Iran's power and the intervention of specific domestic factors caused Iran's foreign policy to deviate, sometimes significantly, from what would be considered the potential optimal outcomes. Juneau explains that this sub-optimal foreign policy led to important and negative consequences for the country. Despite some gains, Iran failed to maximize its power, its security and its influence in three crucial areas: the Arab-Israeli conflict; Iraq; and the nuclear program. Juneau also predicts that, as the window of opportunity steadily closes for Iran, its power, security, and influence will likely continue to decline in coming years.

Intelligence Cooperation under Multipolarity - Non-American Perspectives: Thomas Juneau, Justin Massie, Marco Munier Intelligence Cooperation under Multipolarity - Non-American Perspectives
Thomas Juneau, Justin Massie, Marco Munier
R820 Discovery Miles 8 200 Ships in 9 - 15 working days

While counterterrorism has been the primary focus of the defense and national security policies of major Western states in the last two decades, recent years have seen the re-emergence of states as the major threat. Intelligence Cooperation under Multi-Polarity offers a timely analysis of the challenges and opportunities for intelligence cooperation, characterized by the re-emergence of great power competition, particularly between the United States, China, and Russia. This collection explores foreign policy and national security tools and partnerships that have emerged as the United States, typically an international leader, experiences internal and external shocks that have rendered its role on the international stage more uncertain. The book specifically focuses on non-American perspectives in order to understand how America’s allies and partners have adjusted to global power transitions. Drawing on contributions from leading intelligence and strategic studies scholars and professionals, Intelligence Cooperation under Multi-Polarity aims to broaden and deepen our understanding of the consequences of the power transition on national security policies.

Stress Tested - The COVID-19 Pandemic and Canadian National Security (Paperback): Leah West, Thomas Juneau, Amarnath Amarasingam Stress Tested - The COVID-19 Pandemic and Canadian National Security (Paperback)
Leah West, Thomas Juneau, Amarnath Amarasingam
R1,175 R919 Discovery Miles 9 190 Save R256 (22%) Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The emergence of COVID-19 has raised urgent and important questions about the role of Canadian intelligence and national security within a global health crisis. Some argue that the effects of COVID-19 on Canada represent an intelligence failure, or a failure of early warning. Others argue that the role of intelligence and national security in matters of health is-and should-remain limited. At the same time, traditional security threats have rapidly evolved, themselves impacted and influenced by the global pandemic.Stress Tested brings together leading experts to examine the role of Canada's national security and intelligence community in anticipating, responding to, and managing a global public welfare emergency. This interdisciplinary collection offers a clear-eyed view of successes, failures, and lessons learned in Canada's pandemic response. Addressing topics including supply chain disruptions, infrastructure security, the ethics of surveillance within the context of pandemic response, the threats and potential threats of digital misinformation and fringe beliefs, and the challenges of maintaining security and intelligence operations during an ongoing pandemic, Stress Tested is essential reading for anyone interested in the lasting impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Middle Power in the Middle East - Canada's Foreign and Defence Policies in a Changing Region (Paperback): Thomas Juneau,... Middle Power in the Middle East - Canada's Foreign and Defence Policies in a Changing Region (Paperback)
Thomas Juneau, Bessma Momani
R1,109 Discovery Miles 11 090 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The Middle East has not, historically, been a first-order priority for Canadian foreign and defence policy. Most major Canadian decisions on the Middle East have come about through ad hoc decision-making rather than strategic necessity. Balancing international obligations with domestic goals, Canadian relations with this region try to find a balance between meeting alliance obligations and keeping domestic constituents content. Middle Power in the Middle East delves into some of Canada's key bilateral relations with the Middle East and explores the main themes in Canada's regional presence: arms sales, human rights, defence capacity-building, and mediation. Contributors analyse the key drivers of Canada's foreign and defence policies in the Middle East, including diplomatic relations with the United States, ideology, and domestic politics. Bringing together many of Canada's foremost experts on Canada-Middle East relations, this collection provides a fresh perspective that is particularly timely and important following the Arab uprisings.

Strategic Analysis in Support of International Policy Making - Case Studies in Achieving Analytical Relevance (Hardcover):... Strategic Analysis in Support of International Policy Making - Case Studies in Achieving Analytical Relevance (Hardcover)
Thomas Juneau
R4,806 Discovery Miles 48 060 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The book aims to improve our understanding of what it means to create high-quality analytical products by focusing on the concept of relevance for policy-makers. Despite variations in context, strategic analysts in different sectors (in both intelligence and non-intelligence government organizations, private consultancies, think tanks, and academia) face similar problems in identifying the needs of their clients and setting up organizations with the mandates, structures, and personnel necessary to address those needs. The objective is therefore to identify these common challenges, compare solutions, and share lessons learned. To do so, broader thematic reflections on strategic analysis are combined with innovative case studies of how organizations have worked to successfully produce relevant analysis. The first section explores challenges to achieving relevance at the level of the analyst, while the remainder of the book analyses cases at the level of organizations.
