Funds were poured into the Canadian Forces, and a newly militarized nation found itself entrenched in conflicts around the globe. For decades, Canada had played a leading role in UN peacekeeping, and when the Cold War ended, the prospect of international harmony was infectious. Yet in short order hostilities erupted in the failed states of Rwanda, Somalia, and the Balkans; terrorism  including 9\/11  raised its head; and Iraq and Afghanistan became war zones. In the face of these immense challenges, the UN was dismissed by its opponents as irrelevant.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eStructured around an anti-war perspective, \u003ci\u003eThe Lamb and the Tiger\u003c\/i\u003e critically examines the ageless genetic and more recent cultural (civilizational) explanations of war, concluding with a close look at the impact of war and right-wing politics o\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The Lamb and the Tiger presents an interesting and well-presented critique of the Harper Government while appealing for Canada’s return to a major role in international peace efforts. The anthropological assessments and framework effectively contribute to the author’s arguments and offer important concepts and ideas that are useful to anyone advocating for Canada to play a more active role in the international community’s efforts towards world peace. The book is readable for those without an anthropological background, making it a worthy selection for anyone interested in Canadian foreign policy and international peace studies.\" -- Stewart Kerr * \u003cem\u003eCanadian Military History \u003c\/em\u003e *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface 1 Introduction   Part One: Disputed Visions 2 Peaceful Kingdom 3 Warrior Nation   Part Two: Why War? 4 Genetic Basis of War 5 Cultural Basis of War   Part Three: The Canadian Dream 6 Gender, Aboriginals, and Resistance 7 Lamb Power and Tiger Power   Notes Bibliography Index\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49409150943575,"sku":"9781487522636","price":19.79,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781487522636.jpg?v=1730505652","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-lamb-and-the-tiger-9781487522636","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
