Geopolitical Integrity

More about the book

This collection of essays consolidates a portion of IRPP's contribution to a topic of critical importance in Canada: the nature of a renewed commitment to our military, our national security and our engagement in the world. The editor, Hugh Segal, proposes a framework for "geopolitical integrity," through which we might review our foreign and defence policies. First, coherence, meaning that Canada's foreign, defence, humanitarian and trade policies should be devised and implemented in an interconnected fashion. Second, ethical responsibility: there ought to be consistency between our rhetoric at home and our actions abroad, and both our words and actions should express our values as a country.
