September 24, 2015September 28, 2015 By H-Diplo

Stuart Farson and Nancy Teeple identify an interesting puzzle in the history of Canadian public policy.

May 18, 2015September 14, 2020 By H-Diplo

Last year, Scott Sagan declared – on H-Diplo – that we are in the midst of a renaissance in nuclear studies, driven by first-rate work by younger scholars.[1] Two qualities in particular mark this scholarship.

Forum 6 on “Contemporary Military Contracting and the Future: Teeth, Tails, and Concerns.”

March 13, 2015September 14, 2020 By H-Diplo

Since the start of the twenty-first century, military contractors such as Blackwater (now named Academi), Kellogg, Brown & Root, and SNC Lavalin have become household names in many countries.

February 18, 2015September 14, 2020 By H-Diplo

A lively and vivid debate is ongoing over the extent, nature, and objectives of a possible shift in the ideological foundations that have governed Canadian foreign policy since the 1940s.

January 22, 2015October 4, 2015 By H-Diplo

Over the last few decades one of the hottest subjects of debate in the social sciences has been the emergence of ‘cyber’ and its effects on all manner of social relationships and human communities.[1] The term itself is chronically contested and the understanding of the nature of cyberspace in the literature (i.e., its delimitation, composition,…

November 24, 2014January 31, 2017 By H-Diplo

The defining characteristic of modern international politics is unipolarity. Never before has one state achieved such a remarkable lead in economic capacity and military capability. American power today is unrivalled and durable, even after the economic crisis of the last decade. It will be a very long time before another state qualifies as a peer…
