| Summary / Abstract (Note) | At the behest of Washington, Canadian diplomats secretly gathered intelligence in Cuba during the 1960s, sometimes in collaboration with British counterparts. They did so despite the lack of a Canadian foreign intelligence tradition and despite the fact that Canada maintained diplomatic and trade relations with the Castro government, often in the face of American criticism. The intelligence studies literature does not much explore such examples of intelligence cooperation let alone provide much basis for theorizing. The present article attempts to explain this case using both realist theory and liberal-constructivist theory. Canada's cooperation can be explained in part by Cold War-related security concerns and in part by a desire to meet the norm of quid pro quo that permeates international intelligence liaison. |
