Canada and NATO
The Myth of a Global Peacekeeper
Owen Schalk
In this book, Schalk disrupts the popular Western perception of NATO as a defensive, collective security organization, and argues that Canadians should oppose it and support their government’s withdrawal from it for the following reasons: NATO has always been an offensive alliance; the wars it wages are not just; its existence and expansion stir global tensions and raise the risk of global war; it undermines Canadian sovereignty; and it diverts resources that can serve the social needs of Canadians into a largely U.S.-owned arms industry.
