Ethnic Diasporas And The Canada-United States Security Community: From The Civil War To Today

The focus is on three diasporas and their impact on North American security relations: the Irish, the Germans, and the Muslim diaspora. The book first examines the evolution of North America from a zone of war to a zone of peace, starting with the debate over the nature and meaning of the Canada-US border. It then assesses the role of ethnic diasporas in North American security, exploring whether ethnic interest groups have been gaining influence over the shaping of U.S. foreign policy. This debate is also valid in Canada, especially given the practice of federal political parties of catering.
