{"product_id":"the-strategic-constitution","title":"The Strategic Constitution","description":"\u003cp\u003eHistorically, Canada’s Constitution has been principally viewed as a federal framework or a rights bulwark. This book offers a brand new interpretation. The “Strategic Constitution,” as proposed by Irvin Studin, can be a framework for Canada to project strategic power in the world. This framework lays the foundations for a new school of Canadian constitutional scholarship.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStudin begins by reducing the Constitution to its strategically relevant essentials or building blocks. He then provides a wide-ranging audit of the Constitution in terms of its implications for so-called factors of strategic power: the military, diplomacy, executive potency, natural resources, the economy, strategic communications, and the national population. He later applies the Strategic Constitution framework to four policy case studies: Canadian regional leadership in the Americas; bona fide war (as in Afghanistan); Arctic sovereignty; and counterterrorism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProvocative and well-argued, this book makes the case for the Constitution being a highly flexible national framework that quietly harbours seeds of national strategic potency. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Irvin Studin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53616335159676,"sku":"9780774827140","price":82.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/4980\/0541\/files\/9780774827140_87dd2212-7dd2-4b7c-9fd4-3ff8e0fd5214.jpg?v=1727873454","url":"https:\/\/combined-academic.myshopify.com\/products\/the-strategic-constitution","provider":"Combined Academic Publishers - Mare Nostrum Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
