Taking their name from the distinctive towers built during the nineteenth century to defend Kingston, Ontario, these papers cover a wide range of topics and issues in foreign and defence policy, and in the study of international peace and security. How governments make decisions in times of crisis is a topic which has long fascinated both theorists and practitioners of international politics. Michael Manulak’s study of the Canadian government’s decision to take part in NATO’s use of force against Serbia in the spring of 1999 deploys a novel social-scientific method to dissect the process whereby that decision was made. In that respect this paper descends from a long line of inquiry going back to the 1960s and the complex flow-charts designed by “scientific” students of foreign policy.

Hewitt and Mrs Ruth Kane Hewitt The way of arms and arts as the way of the warrior is a constant precept that needs no detailing. Keep arts at your left side, arms by your right, the two must complement each other, without one the other can not be. Hojo Code The Martello Papers This is the eighteenth in a series of security studies published over the past several years by the Queen’s University Centre for International Relations (QCIR), under the general title of the Martello Papers. “From Ottawa to Sarajevo” is a detailed, empirical examination of Canadian participation in UN peacekeeping efforts in the former Yugoslavia between 1992 and 1995, written by a US Air Force officer, Major Dawn Hewitt, who served as Visiting Defence Fellow at the Centre during the 1996-97 academic year. Peacekeeping, by all accounts, has become increasingly complex since the end- ing of the Cold War, and as Major Hewitt’s monograph reveals, nowhere have those complexities and frustrations been more apparent than in the former Yugo- slavia.

  • Escaping Binarism: the Bosnian War in the Canadian Imagination
    G EORGIANA B ANITA Escaping Binarism: The Bosnian War in the Canadian Imagination _____________________ Zusammenfassung In diesem Aufsatz werden Darstellungen des Bosnienkonflikts in der neueren kanadi- schen Literatur untersucht – bruchstückhafte, moralisch mehrdeutige Erzählungen. Jim Bartleys Drina Bridge (2006) zum Beispiel stellt Augenzeugenberichte den Erfahrungen eines (kanadischen) Beobachters gegenüber; dadurch verdeutlicht er die Diskrepanz zwischen den Leiden eines vom Krieg Betroffenen und der Selbstbezogenheit der distan- zierten Analyse. Steven Galloways The Cellist of Sarajevo (2008) erzählt ebenfalls über- kreuzte Geschichten, um die Beweggründe ethnischer Konflikte und Kriegsmüdigkeit auf der minimalistischen Ebene von Straßengerangel und Heckenschützen darzustellen. Darüber hinaus deutet The Cellist of Sarajevo auf Geschlechterrollen hin, die in Kriegs- zeiten umgestoßen und reaktiviert werden. Madeleine Gagnons My Name is Bosnia (2006) ergänzt Bartleys und Galloways Fokus auf die narrative Kristallisierung der Ver- gangenheit durch einen Einblick in das kanadische Leben bosnischer Immigranten. Gagnons Roman stellt männliche Ansichten zu Konfliktanstiftung und -lösung weibli- chen Ideen der Widerstandsfähigkeit durch affektive Friedenserhaltung gegenüber; damit bietet sie eine geschlechterbezogene Deutung ethnischer Kriegführung und transnationaler Wege der Versöhnung. Résumé Dans cet article, je me propose d’examiner les perspectives canadiennes sur le conflit bosniaque telles qu’elles sont présentées dans la fiction

Two and one-half years later, in December 1995, Deny Flight officially ended after an almost continuous 970-day aerial presence constituting over 100,000 aircraft sorties. In that time, NATO aircraft dropped more than 3,000 bombs while participating in combat operations for the first time in alliance history. Deny Flight’s initial mission was to enforce a UN Security Council mandated no-fly zone over Bosnia. This mission expanded in the ensuing months to include close air support when requested for UN protection forces (UNPROFOR) on the ground and to deter Serb aggression against six UN-designated safe areas.

  • Remembering Yugoslavia: the Canadian Military's Service in The
    Remembering Yugoslavia: The Canadian Military’s Service in the Balkans. Submitted to: Dr. Zimmerman Submitted by: Courtney Yanta V00774939 Date: March 31, 2016 Course: HSTR 426 1 Introduction: The collapse of Yugoslavia resulted in long wars and ethnic cleansings which the international community struggled to respond to. The historiography has focused on the violence in the region, the underlying political tensions which led to the conflicts, while some of the available literature has looked at the role of Canadian peacekeepers in the former Yugoslavia under the banner of the United Nations Protection Force (UNPROFOR). While the available sources provide a basic understanding of the conflict and the role of Canadians in the region, it largely ignores the non-combatant role of the international community and their presence in the region after the violence had ceased. This essay will look to oral history to fill in these gaps through the use of interviews conducted with Master Corporal Tyson King 1, Sergeant Ryan Gow and Master Warrant Officer Tamara Featherstone. These interviews discuss the Canadian presence in the former Yugoslavia and emphasize the role the military played in post-conflict recovery, humanitarian efforts, and the personal and professional difficulties the interviewees experienced while serving in the region. The interviews also provide insight on the ways in which the wars affected Canadians who served overseas, specifically Tyson King’s discussion of his struggles with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). This essay is divided into three parts. The first explores King’s role with UNPROFOR and his experiences in the Medak Pocket. The essay then focuses on the interviews with Ryan Gow and Tammy Featherstone which speak to the role of the Canadian military in the post-conflict recovery of the region.
