| Summary/Abstract |
The analysis here examines the major factors leading to a change in Germany's approach towards the alliance. It proceeds in three broad steps. First, evidence for a shift in German NATO policy is provided. Second, the most important external and domestic factors affecting German behaviour in NATO are identified. In the final section, some predictions for future German NATO policy are made, as well as some implications for the alliance as a whole.

| Summary/Abstract |
Security meant holding the Soviet Union militarily and politically at bay so that behind the shield afforded by American power, western Europe, with West Germany firmly entrenched in a liberaldemocraticmarket-economic community, could recover, flourish, and never threaten anyone again. And so NATO did all three things, making it one of the most successful alliances in history. Canadian diplomats and politicians who heard Ismay's formulation no doubt agreed with it. Canada had a fundamental interest in European security. During the 20th century, Canada saw as vital to its interests the prevention of any single power from dominating Europe-first Germany, against which Canada went to war twice, and then the Soviet Union. Today, Canada has a fundamental interest in defeating Islamist terror. To this end, Canada is playing a leading role in NATO's efforts in Afghanistan.

| Summary/Abstract |
Britain's war effort was crucially aided by its Dominions, with Canada's experience of the First World War a prime example of this fundamental military contribution
Canada's contribution to the war effort on the Western Front was of fundamental importance throughout the Great War. Tim Cook traces how, over four years, what started as a little-organised contingent of 31,000 troops of mostly citizen-soldiers grew into an effective fighting force that made significant contributions to the final victory over the Central Powers.

| Summary/Abstract |
Strategic health diplomacy (SHD) involves governments actively working to improve public health abroad and, at the same time, further their own foreign policy agenda. While military assets are often used in soft power roles that might enable such work (defence engagement), the contribution of Defence to SHD is not well articulated. Simon Horne and Laura McCrae draw on recent research to understand how defence assets can contribute to SHD, the mechanism by which health impacts deliver strategic security objectives and the most effective means to deliver those effects. They challenge approaches where SHD is considered primarily in terms of UK influence, showing how the real benefit to the UK depends on the delivery of large-scale, sustainable benefit to the partner country.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article challenges this accepted wisdom. Instead, it argues that Canadian burden-sharing in NATO in the 1990s was consistent with its relative capabilities to contribute to the alliance. Speacifically, it argues that Canada was not the laggard of the transatlantic alliance. In some instances, Canada even overperformed in comparision with its NATO allies and made more resource available than it was given credit for. In that sense, this article provides a revisionist analysis of Canada's performance in NATO and a more nuanced picture of Canada's role in the world in the 1990s.
