This book advances the contemporary intervention literature by focusing on Canadian Armed Forces deployments and the role of the public service. The author focuses on three recent post-Afghanistan deployments, including Iraq, Ukraine, Mali, and one non-deployment to Colombia, seeking to explain why the Canadian government varies in deploying the armed forces abroad, specifically the time required to announce a deployment and the deployment s composition/size. The book seeks to examine the civil-military relationship in Canada and highlight aspects of the principal-agent relationship by focusing on how the federal bureaucracy defines and shapes military commitments. These four case studies look past the implementation stage of the decision-making process to explain how federal bureaucracies impact policy through agenda setting and policy formulation, specifically in regards to the use of armed force abroad.
Mike G. Fejes is an Assistant Professor at The Royal Military College of Canada in Kingston, Ontario where he has taught since 2019. An infantry officer with 30 years of military service in both the regular and reserve force (including five international deployments and one domestic response operation), his research includes civil-military relations, comparative defence policy, and the contemporary use of armed force.
