Conclusion: Unravelling the Research Puzzle. 330 $a?Federman Rodriguez sets out to resolve an intriguing puzzle: How did two countries with so great a disparity of national power, Canada and the United States, come to adopt similar military policies in Afghanistan in 2006-2011? International Relations theory and historical precedent would have predicted otherwise. Rodriguez?s highly readable volume provides a compelling explanation of Canadian and US foreign policy and sheds light on the opportunities and limitations of power in the international system.? --Elinor Sloan, Carleton University, Canada. ?Federman Rodriguez adapts the theory of neoclassical realism to explain, despite vastly different capabilities, how Canada and the United States? foreign and security policy in Afghanistan converged on a counterinsurgency campaign. He provides a theoretically unique and empirically rich analysis of the decisions made by each country. This book is important in understanding what happened to the ill-fated intervention in Afghanistan.? --Brian C. Schmidt, Carleton University, Canada. The book aims to explain the factors that brought about a high degree of similarity between American and Canadian foreign and security policies during the Afghanistan intervention. Specifically, it seeks to explain why, despite their different positions in the international distribution of power, the United States and Canada embraced similar counterinsurgency (COIN) strategies from 2005/2006 to 2011. During this time, the United States and Canada fought against insurgent groups, sought to maintain stabilized areas by mentoring Afghan forces, and invested in infrastructure and governance. These goals, which corresponded to the ?clear,? ?hold,? and ?build? COIN components, entailed sending troops and civilian officials to a war zone and committing financial resources. Federman Rodriguez is Assistant Professor of the Faculty of International Relations, Political and Urban Studies at Rosario University, Bogotá, Colombia. 410 0$aCanada and International Affairs,$x2523-7195 606 $aInternational relations 606 $aPolitics and war 606 $aSecurity, International 606 $aInternational Relations Theory 606 $aMilitary and Defence Studies 606 $aInternational Security Studies 615 0$aInternational relations. 615 0$aPolitics and war. 615 0$aSecurity, International. 615 14$aInternational Relations Theory. 615 24$aMilitary and Defence Studies. 615 24$aInternational Security Studies. 676 $a355.0218 676 $a355.021809581 700 $aRodri?guez$b Federma?n$01265711 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910629289003321 996 $aAmerican and Canadian Counterinsurgency Strategies in Afghanistan$92968183 997 $aUNINA
