註釋This study proceeds from the proposition that the deployment of Canadian Forces in Somalia and the events that occurred there have something to tell Canadians about the nature of the policy choices facing the federal government in sustaining effective and relevant armed forces in the 1990s and beyond. The study focus is on developments in the domestic and international environment which are affecting the demands for, and on, the armed forces of the industrialized democracies; the experience in employing armed forces in the new environment; and on the lessons being learned and issues for policy. Study themes relate specifically to peace and stability operations, their place in the strategic scheme, their dynamics, significance, and implications. The study begins by reviewing changed international strategic conditions following the Cold War era and the experience of Canada and other democracies in responding to the new conditions. Lessons learned and policy issues are then discussed, and a chapter on the home front aims to identify societal changes and developments in national attitudes, policies, and legislation germane to raising, organizing, and deploying armed forces and to maintaining both military effectiveness in the new conditions and understanding and support for defence. The final chapter reviews and assesses lessons learned from new peacekeeping operations and from the Somalia experience, suggesting areas and issues for further study.
