Canada Abstract This dissertation develops a novel concept of national economic security by adapting the idea of national security devised by Barry Buzan. While retaining Buzan's notion that states are threatened militarily, politically, socially, and ecologically, the new framework proposes that states also face economic threats to their security and that these threats target a specific component of the state, the economic base. Recognizing this economic aspect of national security, it is argued, provides a fuller understanding of national security. The dissertation applies its framework to the case of Canada between 1943-1948. In line with Buzan's notion of national security, it is shown that Canadian decisionmakers perceived a political threat to their state. When applying the framework developed in this dissertation, it is further demonstrated that decisionmakers identified purely economic threats to the Canadian state as the Second World War came to an end. Decisionmakers feared that mass inflation threatened to push Canada's postwar economy into a severe recession, as happened in the aftermath of the First World War. Were a severe economic downturn to occur, furthermore, decisionmakers feared that Canadians would abandon Canada's traditional ideologies of liberal-democratic capitalism in favour of a socialist form of government. Were either of these fears realized, Canada win the war but losing the peace. To guard against these outcomes, the government of William Lyon Mackenzie King implemented a set of postwar reconstruction polices designed to protect the Canada's peacetime economy against a severe recession and preserve the public's fragile faith in the free market. Rather than merely moving Canada back to a peacetime 1 economy, it is proposed that the King government's reconstruction policies were fashioned to protect Canada's national economic and political security. The dissertation then traces the implementation of the King government's reconstruction measures from the end of the Second World War to 1948. It is shown that, despite a number of setbacks and difficulties, the government's reconstruction policies met their objectives by protecting the postwar Canadian economy and the public's acceptance of the re­ established free market. Accordingly, the dissertation concludes that the government's reconstruction policies were instrumental in winning the peace for Canada. ii Acknowledgements Many are owed thanks for their support and help during the writing of this dissertation. Carleton University provided generous financial assistance throughout my doctoral studies, including a five-year tuition remission scholarship endowed by the late Edward Bower Carty. My research was funded by a Canada Graduate Scholarship (Doctoral), awarded in 2004 by the Social Science and Humanities Research Council. My thesis supervisor, Norman Hillmer, was always available to offer advice, guidance, and encouragement while the dissertation progressed. Brian Schmidt counseled me on the theoretical framework, and Harald von Riekhoff wisely stressed the value of limiting the dissertation's girth. Many former professors, including Joel Sokolsky, Peter Emberley, and Randall Germain, clarified my understanding of a dissertation's function. My mother, Renee Boire Lagasse, soothed my pessimism and patiently listened to my repeated rants and lamentations. Jacques Lagasse, my father, kept me focused and ensured that I was free of financial stress. Lastly, my wife, Marie-Eve Desrosiers, loved and fulfilled me during the last year and a half of this endeavor. iii Table of Contents Abstract i Acknowledgements iii Table of Contents iv Introduction: Canadian Economic and Political Security, 1943-1948 1 I.

Though realist, neo-realist, neo-liberal, and constructivist scholars of international relations acknowledged that states pursue economic interests, and that they seek to protect or enhance their economic standing, scholars disagree over whether states treat the protection their economies or resources as matters of national security. Economic security skeptics argue that states cannot defend their economies in a fashion that resembles the protection of their territory, interests, or sovereignty, the traditional concerns of state security. National economies, they contend, are too risk-prone and fluid to be defended or threatened. Economic security adherents, on the other hand, argue that national economies are essential components of states and that, as such, states do work to protect and defend their economies. For adherents, the history of modern international relations is filled with examples of economic competition, economic warfare, and the defence of national economies by states. Because adherents disagree about exactly how state's defend their national economies and precisely how states are threatened economically, however, the debate is at an impasse. To help move this debate forward, this dissertation addresses two research questions: • Are states threatened economically? • If so, how are they threatened economically, and how do we recognize when economic threats to states are addressed as national security issues? 1 To answer these questions, the dissertation first adapts, then applies, a national security framework developed by Barry Buzan in People, States and Fear} For Buzan, national security involves the protection of the state's essential components. These components are the idea of the state, the institutions of the state, and the physical base of the state. He also shows that these elements are threatened in five ways: militarily, politically, ecologically, socially, and economically. According to Buzan, states are only threatened economically when economic conditions undermine other aspects of their national security, such as

For example, today, more than 700 million people subsist on extremely low incomes. Every year, five million children under five die of diseases that often could have been prevented or treated by a handful of proven interventions. Today, a large majority of children in low- and middle-income countries attend primary school, but many of them leave school lacking proficiency in reading, writing and mathematics. How to effectively reduce global poverty remains one of humankind’s most pressing questions. It is also one of the biggest questions facing the discipline of economics since its very inception.

  • Theory Talk #35 Barry Buzan on International Society, Securitization
    Theory Talks Presents THEORY TALK #35 BARRY BUZAN ON INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY, SECURITIZATION, AND AN ENGLISH SCHOOL MAP OF THE WORLD Theory Talks is an interactive forum for discussion of debates in International Relations with an emphasis of the underlying theoretical issues. By frequently inviting cutting-edge specialists in the field to elucidate their work and to explain current developments both in IR theory and real-world politics, Theory Talks aims to offer both scholars and students a comprehensive view of the field and its most important protagonists. Citation: Schouten, P. (2009) ‘Theory Talk #35: Barry Buzan on International Society, Securitization, and an English School Map of the World’, Theory Talks, http://www.theory- talks.org/2009/12/theory-talk-35.html (19-12-2009) WWW.THEORY‐TALKS.ORG BARRY BUZAN ON INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY, SECURITIZATION, AND AN ENGLISH SCHOOL MAP OF THE WORLD Few thinkers have shown to be as capable as Barry Buzan of continuously impacting the direction of debates in IR theory. From regional security complexes to the English School approach to IR as being about international society, and from hegemony to securitization: Buzan’s name will appear on your reading list. It is therefore an honor for Theory Talks to present this comprehensive Talk with professor Buzan. In this Talk, Buzan – amongst others – discusses theory as thinking-tools, describes the contemporary regionalization of international society, and sketches an English School map of the world. What is, according to you, the biggest challenge / principal debate in current IR? What is your position or answer to this challenge / in this debate? I think the biggest challenge is a dual one, namely, to reconnect international relations with world history and sociology.

  • Environmental Security a Conceptual Investigating Study
    J Ö N K Ö P I N G I NTERNATIONAL B U S I N E S S S CHOOL JÖNKÖPING UNIVERSITY Environmental Security A conceptual investigating study Master thesis in Political Science Author: Elin Sporring Jonsson Tutor: Mikael Sandberg Jönköping 2009 Abstract The purpose of this thesis is to explore the concept of environmental security. A concept that have made way on to the international arena since the end of the Cold War, and have become of more importance since the 1990’s. The discussion regarding man-made environmental change and its possible impacts on the world is very topical; especially with the Nobel Peace Prize winners in 2007 the Intergovernmental panel on climate change (IPCC) and Al Gore. The concept of environmental security is examined through a conceptual investigating study. The reason for this type of study is due to the complexity of the concept and a hope to find a ‘best’ definition to it. A conceptual investigating study is said to help create order in an existing discussion of a social problem, hence the reason for it in this thesis. The outcome of this thesis is that it is near impossible to find a ‘best’ or one definition to the concept of environmental security and that another method to deal with the concept might have presented another result. Keywords: Environmental Security, Conceptual Investigating Study, Environmental degradation i Sammanfattning Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka konceptet environmental security. Detta koncept har gjort sin väg till ett internationellt erkännande sedan Kalla kriget, och har sedan 1990-talet blivit allt mer aktuellt.

  • Escaping the Climate Trap? Values, Technologies, and Politics∗
    Escaping the Climate Trap? Values, Technologies, and Politics Tim Besleyyand Torsten Perssonz November 2020 Abstract It is widely acknowledged that reducing the emissions of green- house gases is almost impossible without radical changes in consump- tion and production patterns. This paper examines the interdependent roles of changing environmental values, changing technologies, and the politics of environmental policy, in creating sustainable societal change. Complementarities that emerge naturally in our framework may generate a “climate trap,”where society does not transit towards lifestyles and technologies that are more friendly to the environment. We discuss a variety of forces that make the climate trap more or less avoidable, including lobbying by firms, private politics, motivated scientists, and (endogenous) subsidies to green innovation. We are grateful for perceptive comments by Philippe Aghion, David Baron, Xavier Jaravel, Bård Harstad, Elhanan Helpman, Gilat Levy, Linus Mattauch, and Jean Tirole, as well as participants in a Tsinghua University seminar, and LSE and Hong Kong University webinars. We also thank Azhar Hussain for research assistance. Financial support from the ERC and the Swedish Research Council is gratefully acknowledged. yLSE, [email protected]. zIIES, Stockholm University, [email protected] 1 1 Introduction What will it take to bring about the fourth industrial revolution that may be needed to save the planet? Such a revolution would require major structural changes in production as well as consumption patterns. Firms would have to invest on a large scale in technologies that generate lower greenhouse gas emissions, and households would have to consume goods that produce lower emissions. Already these observations suggest that the required transformation can be reinforced by a key complementarity, akin to the one associated with so- called platform technologies (Rochet and Tirole 2003).

  • Pakistan Response Towards Terrorism: a Case Study of Musharraf Regime
    PAKISTAN RESPONSE TOWARDS TERRORISM: A CASE STUDY OF MUSHARRAF REGIME By: SHABANA FAYYAZ A thesis Submitted to the University of Birmingham For the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Political Science and International Studies The University of Birmingham May 2010 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT The ranging course of terrorism banishing peace and security prospects of today’s Pakistan is seen as a domestic effluent of its own flawed policies, bad governance, and lack of social justice and rule of law in society and widening gulf of trust between the rulers and the ruled. The study focused on policies and performance of the Musharraf government since assuming the mantle of front ranking ally of the United States in its so called ‘war on terror’. The causes of reversal of pre nine-eleven position on Afghanistan and support of its Taliban’s rulers are examined in the light of the geo-strategic compulsions of that crucial time and the structural weakness of military rule that needed external props for legitimacy. The flaws of the response to the terrorist challenges are traced to its total dependence on the hard option to the total neglect of the human factor from which the thesis develops its argument for a holistic approach to security in which the people occupy a central position.
