  Occasional Paper No. 9 (2013): Latin American Security: Canadian and International Perspectives

  No. 9 (2013)

  The papers and presentations in this volume were part of an
  international conference on Latin American and Caribbean basin security
  issues hosted by the Latin American Research Centre at the University of
  Calgary in May, 2013. Focusing on Canadian security policies in the region,
  the conference went beyond traditional notions of security and focused
  on a range of human security issues: the impact of insecurity on violence
  against women, the role of illegal armed groups, organized crime, guerrilla
  insurgencies, youth gangs, and the impact which armed conflict has on the
  physical environment. The findings of this conference suggest that, with
  increased private sector investment in the region combined, growing trade
  ties have implications for the image of Canada in the region and necessitate
  a close and effective working relationship between government and
  the private sector to ensure that international standards pertaining to the
  environment and human rights are observed.

  Occasional Paper Number 6, 2012: New Perspectives on Canada in the Second World War

  No. 6 (2012)

  This volume offers a first step toward the unification of many disparate threads in Canada's history of the Second World War and new perspectives on Canada's political and operational wars. What emerges is both unsurprising, and surprisingly new. Canada at war was a young nation increasingly, and sometimes cheekily, pursuing its national interests at the level of policy. Although historians have overlooked Canada's assertive role, through its joint defence measures and alliances Canada largely defined itself as a country, and combined close defence relationships with sovereignty. Operationally, in training, and in civil affairs Canada's inexperience resulted in a steep learning curve. Nonetheless, battlefield experience provided important lessons that, in most key areas, were willingly learned.
