Description: "The focus of this work is the evolution of the Canada-United States security relationship in the post-9/11 era. The conclusions that result from the analysis of this period are that the relationship has remained fundamentally the same in some ways yet has changed radiacally in others. Both the consistencies and the changes are influenced by the issue of Canadian sovereignty as a concern that permeates every aspect of the relationship, and the ongoing maintenance of the 'Kingston Dispensation' as a central tenet of the relationship as a whole." "The evolution of the relationship is traced through its history as a basis for the subsequent detailed examination of post-9/11 events and the influences that they had upon the relationship. The history and contemporary evolutions in the relationship are then used to assess and analyze possible futures for the relationship using the bilateral execution of the security plan for the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics as a case study."--Back cover.
