They are a source of terrorism and international crime, as well as incubators of infectious disease, environmental degradation, and unregulated mass migration. Canada's engagement with countries such as the Congo, East Timor, Bosnia, and Afghanistan underlines the commitment of successive Canadian governments to addressing the threats posed to Western security by state fragility. From Kinshasa to Kandahar: Canada and Fragile States in Historical Perspective brings together leading Canadian historians and political scientists to explore Canada's historic relationship with fragile states. The collection spans the period from the 1960s to the present and covers a geographical range that stretches from the Middle East to Latin America to Southeast Asia. Authors embrace a variety of approaches and methodologies, including traditional archival historical research, postmodern textual analysis, oral history, and administrative studies to chronicle and explain Canada's engagement with fragile and failed states. This collection reflects the growing public interest in the issue of failed states, which are of increasing concern to Canadian policymakers and are making headlines on the world stage. It helps explain the historic forces that have shaped Canadian policy towards failed and fragile states, and provides a platform for a national discussion about Canada's future role addressing state fragility."-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic format. 650 0 $a Failed states $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Failed states $x History $y 21st century. 651 0 $a Canada $x Foreign relations $y 1945- $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85019308 700 1 $a Donaghy, Greg, $e editor. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n98097041 700 1 $a Carroll, Michael K. $q (Michael Kiernan), $e editor. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2009113941 776 1 $t From Kinshasha to Kandahar. $k Beyond boundaries : Canadian defence and strategic studies series $k Beyond boundaries : Canadian defence and strategic studies series $w (CaOONL)20169003612 830 0 $a Beyond boundaries series ; $v no. 6. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2006036503 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191210024428.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=42272F4EEB9E11E7A465B32097128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
