'A Safe and Secure Canada' - Éric Tabuteau

. .

Résumé :
One of the main priorities of Stephen Harper's government since it came to power in 2006 has been to preserve what it defines as ?A Safe and Secure Canada.? Thus, it has remained in line with the radical security measures adopted by his predecessor following the September 11 attacks, turning them into a central and sustained feature of the country's policy but also breaking up with the traditional representations of Canada as being less belligerent than its southern neighbour.
This volume, which has emerged from discussions held during the September 25, 2009 conference on Canada's ?Security, Identity(ies) and Territory(ies)? (Universit? Stendhal - Grenoble 3), presents the thoughts of eight researchers from a wide variety of backgrounds and disciplines, who have reflected upon the consequences of Canada's security policy. Ten years after September 11, it attests to the issues that are still directly or indirectly linked to the attacks, but also to Canada's new areas of concern in terms of security.
Depuis son arriv?e au pouvoir en 2006, l'une des priorit?s du gouvernement de Stephen Harper a ?t? de pr?server ce qu'il d?finit comme ?A Safe and Secure Canada?, poursuivant un virage s?curitaire amorc? par son pr?d?cesseur suite aux attentats du 11 septembre 2001 et instaurant ainsi dans la dur?e une politique qui semble rompre avec les repr?sentations traditionnelles d'un Canada moins belliqueux que son voisin am?ricain.
? partir d'une discussion amorc?e lors de la journ?e d'?tudes ? S?curit?, Identit?(s) et Territoire(s) ? du 25 septembre 2009 (Universit? Stendhal - Grenoble 3), cet ouvrage pr?sente les r?flexions de huit chercheurs de disciplines et d'horizons tr?s diff?rents qui se sont interrog?s sur les cons?quences de cette politique. Dix ans apr?s le 11 septembre, il fait ?tat des enjeux qui sont encore directement ou indirectement li?s ? cet ?v?nement, mais aussi des nouvelles pr?occupations du Canada en mati?re de s?curit?.
