Bratt examines every CANDU sale, as well as some important unsuccessful sales attempts, from 1956 to the present. He also outlines the impact that changes in the international political climate such as the creation and strengthening of the international nuclear non-proliferation regime, and the increasing importance of human rights and environmental protection, have had on CANDU exports over the last fifty years.Bratt?s study attempts to develop a framework for understanding the ebb and flow of the influences of different foreign policy objectives on Canada?s decision-making process. There are litanies of economic and political interests that Canadian governments have hoped to serve by exporting CANDUs, interests such as economic gain, containing communism, and assisting the developing world. Yet, Canada has additional foreign policy objectives such as national security, the protection of human rights, and preservation of the environment, which constrain the desire to export CANDUs. Furthermore, the nature of the debate surrounding CANDU exports has changed over time. Bratt shows that while the traditional debate over CANDU exports was between Canada?s commercial interests and its security concerns, since the early 1990s a new debate focused on two separate planes of argument has emerged. The economic benefits of exporting the CANDU reactors are now weighed against the economic cost of extensive government subsidies; while the environmental benefits of CANDU exports are measured against the environmental costs of building and promoting nuclear power. 410 0$aInstitute of Public Administration of Canada series in public management and governance. 606 $aCANDU reactors 606 $aNuclear industry$xPolitical aspects$zCanada 607 $aCanada$xForeign economic relations 607 $aCanada$xForeign relations$y1945- 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCANDU reactors. 615 0$aNuclear industry$xPolitical aspects 676 $a382/.456214830971 700 $aBratt$b Duane$f1967-$01053044 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456364103321 996 $aThe politics of CANDU exports$92484687 997 $aUNINA
