Cover image

This study aims to establish the broader strategic framework for the Commission’s undertaking. It provides an overview of the developments in the international and domestic environment which affect the demands for and on the armed forces of Canada and other democracies, and the government’s and the public’s expectations of the armed forces, drawing the broad implications for governmental, defense and military policy. The author believes that the Somalia experience, including the reactions of Canadians, invites reflection on the new strategic environment, and on Canada’s purposes and options; on the dimension and significance for the armed forces of societal change, and of evolving concepts of rights and their ambit; and on the rationale and conditions for maintaining and employing armed forces on the cusp of the 21st century.
