Document Summary
Comparing caveats: understanding the sources of national restrictions upon nato"s mission in afghanistan (auerswald and saideman) Bloc is not an appealing partner (separatist) spoils liberal+ndp hopes: individuals. Canadian soldiers beat an arrested somali to death unit disbanded chiefs of defense staff and minister of national defense resigned focus on avoiding risk. Hillier learned from canadian reactions to somalia tight constraints in balkans and croatia after somalia. Canadians forced to put themselves in harm"s way before they could use weapons. France: semi-presidential system (president has foreign power, premier has domestic power) restricted to this part of afghanistan deliberately kept out of harm"s way, when nato left kabul 2005-2006, french stayed, 2007, president chirac. Alternative explanations: balancing agent threats countries facing a greater threat are more likely to balance against that threat by forging alliances, arming themselves, or both. But americans and british have been struck by terrorist attacks, yet they are the least restricted.
