This book offers a brand new interpretation. The \"Strategic Constitution,\" as proposed by Irvin Studin, can be a framework for Canada to project strategic power in the world. This framework lays the foundations for a new school of Canadian constitutional scholarship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStudin begins by reducing the Constitution to its strategically relevant essentials or building blocks. He then provides a wide-ranging audit of the Constitution in terms of its implications for so-called factors of strategic power: the military, diplomacy, executive potency, natural resources, the economy, strategic communications, and the national population. He later applies the Strategic Constitution framework to four policy case studies: Canadian regional leadership in the Americas; bona fide war (as in Afghanistan); Arctic sovereignty; and counterterrorism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProvocative and well-argued, this book makes the case for the Constitution being a highly flexible national framework that quietly harbours seeds of national strategic potency. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart 1: The Conceptual Framework for Assessing Canadian Strategic Power in Constitutional Terms\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 Framing Some Key Concepts\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2 Diplomacy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3 The Military\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4 Government, or Pure Executive Potency\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5 Natural Resources (and Food)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e6 National Economic Might\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e7 Communications\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e8 Population\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e9 The Strategic Constitution as Conceptual and Analytical Framework\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart 2: Applying the Conceptual Framework: Four Policy Case Studies\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCase Study A: Canadian Strategic Leadership in the Americas\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCase Study B: Bona Fide War\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCase Study C: Arctic Sovereignty\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCase Study D: National Security-Counterterrorism\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConclusion\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBibliography\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"UBC Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52531055165720,"sku":"9780774827140","price":60.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-strategic-constitution-understanding-canadian-power-in-the-world-hardback-9780774827140","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
