The Strategic Constitution

Understanding Canadian Power in the World

by Irvin Studin

tagged: constitutional, canadian
Description

Historically, Canada’s Constitution has been principally viewed as a federal framework or a rights bulwark. This book offers a new interpretation. The “Strategic Constitution,” as proposed by Irvin Studin, is a framework for understanding the capacity of Canada to project strategic power in the world. First, Studin provides a wide-ranging audit of the Constitution in terms of its treatment of factors of strategic power. He then applies the Strategic Constitution framework to four policy case studies. Provocative and well-argued, this book makes the case for the Constitution being a flexible national framework that quietly harbours seeds of national strategic potency.
