view to it
We…propose six, interrelated
explanations for Canada’s discombobulated defence policy
history:
(1) Canadians don’t typically develop policy and strategy
through a rational process;
(2) defence policy outcomes are often
expendable because they are rarely linked directly to Ottawa’s
grander strategic goals;
(3) Canadian governments have
habitually refused to accept the cost and level of commitment
necessary to achieve policy aims;
(4) the CAF’s traditional military
culture, characterized by an unwillingness to admit failure,
interferes with rational analyses of the relative success of
defence policy initiatives;
(5) because Canadian defence policy is
regularly operationalized in an alliance context, and since Canada
is typically a supporting player within such alliances, Ottawa has
limited control over the outcomes; and, finally,
(6) measuring defence policy outcomes
is difficult in the best of times; it is near impossible in the
context of Canada’s forward approach to defence (82-3).
