Defence Studies

Series editors

Professor Peter J. Dean and
Professor Brendan Taylor

The aim of this series is to publish outstanding works of research on strategy and warfare with a focus on Australia and the region. Books in the series take a broad approach to defence studies, examining war in its numerous forms, including military, strategic, political and historic aspects. The series focus is principally on the hard power elements of military studies, in particular the use or threatened use of armed force in international affairs. This includes the history of military operations across the spectrum of conflict, Asias strategic transformation and strategic policy options for Australia and the region. Books in the series consist of either edited or single-author works that are academically rigorous and accessible to both academics and the interested general reader.

Acknowledgements

This book is a culmination of a long journey, for which I am indebted to a great number of people.

This journey started in 2008 when my sister, Elizabeth Fischer, was undertaking amazing work with refugees that inspired me to do more with my life, and in my life, for others. This led me to do a masters degree, in the course of which I met Associate Professor Andrew Phillips, who captured my imagination and my curiosity. Dr Phillips has been there from my very first lecture in International Relations (on human security and national security) to the publication of this book. Thank you, Andrew.

Throughout this process, Associate Professor Jacinta OHagan has been an adviser, guide and friend. I cannot thank her enough for her support, both academically and personally, throughout the project. I also give my thanks to Professor William T Tow, who has been a great advocate of my work. My many thanks go to him for his support in presenting and publishing. My utmost gratitude goes to Professor John Blaxland, without whose strong guidance, strategic insight, and encouragement this project would not have been published.

I have been very lucky throughout this research to have had several valued advisers. My many thanks to Professor Hugh White, Professor Ian Hall and Professor Lorraine Elliot for their guidance and assistance at different stages. Critically, I also received guidance from two very generous Canadian academics. My heartfelt thanks and gratitude go to Professor Brian Job and Professor Roland Paris for selflessly giving an Australian researcher so much time, support, guidance and advice. Special mention and thanks must also go to Dr Mathew Davies for his fantastic support.

I had the wonderful opportunity to conduct fieldwork in Canada. My thanks to the institutions that hosted me: the Liu Institute at the University of British Colombia; the Centre for International Policy Studies at the University of Ottawa; and the Royal Military College of Canada. Thanks, in particular, also must go to Professor Kim Richard Nossal, Professor Richard Price, Professor Michael C Williams, Dr Grant Dawson, Dr Douglas Delaney and Dr Joel Solkolsky for their excellent advice and help. I also had the opportunity to work at the European University Institute. I am so very grateful to the Institute and, in particular, my good friends Professor Christian Reus-Smit and Dr Heather Rae for making it a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

More than a hundred participants were either interviewed or took the time to contribute; my thanks to each of them for their contributions. I extend my particular thanks to the current and former members of the Australian Defence Force and the Canadian Forces.

This research has benefited from the generous financial support of a number of institutions. I am grateful for the Strategic and Defence Studies Centre at the Australian National University for its support of me as a visiting fellow. I would also like to thank the ANU Department of International Relations, the ANU scholarship fund, the ANU Vice Chancellors Travel Fund and the MacArthur Foundation.

This research would not have been published without the strong encouragement and support of my excellent colleague and friend, Dr Andrew Carr. I would like to thank the editorial board of Melbourne University Publishing Defence series, Professor Peter Dean and Professor Brendan Taylor. Also, my thanks to the staff at Melbourne University Publishing, including Catherine McInnis, and to my copyeditor Cathryn Game.

One of the people who has contributed so much, both academically and personally, has been my good friend, Dr Lacy Pejcinovic. She has been a fantastic adviser, editor, supporter, baker, housemate and friend. My heartfelt thanks to Dr Beverly Loke, for putting up with me as an officemate, sharing her coffee and cookies. My heartfelt thanks also to Dr Sarah Logan for her patience during my interruptions, for reading my work and sharing in the struggle. I have also had the privilege of having met, and learnt from, a wonderful cohort of fellow researchers: Dr Danielle Chubb, Dr Michael OShannessy, Dr Madeline Carr, Dr Michele Acuto, Dr Gilberto Estrada-Harris, Dr Kate Sullivan, Dr Jonathan Kuyper, Dr Jeffery Wilson, Dr Thuy Do, Dr Jia Guan, Dr Cynthia Banham, Dr Emily Tannock and Dr Genevieve LeBaron. My thanks also to indefatigable Mary-Lou Hickey.

I have also had the support of a wonderful group of friends who have encouraged me throughout this journey and my life. My thanks to Gerard Lambkin, Liam Kavanagh, Nathan Pugliese, Daniel Holden, Claire Granata and Luisa Ryan.

My thanks to all of my family for their love and support: Gerard, Catherine, Paul, Elizabeth and Margaret.

My utmost gratitude goes to my mother Rosemary Collins, for sitting me down and making me do my homework, then and always. You have always been there to support me throughout my education; you have inspired me, loved me and cared for me in a way that I cannot repay. Thank you so very much.
