| Summary/Abstract |
There is nothing unusual about positing security issues as "problems"; after
all, it was not so terribly long ago that the central dilemma in international
security regularly, and not incorrectly, bore the label, the "German Problem"
(in some variants, the "German Question").1
I have myself, on occasion,
even employed the concept of problem to frame discussions of historical
and contemporary policy dilemmas associated with aspects of North
American security-albeit on the understanding that somehow the source
of the contention inhered in actions or perceptions linked to American
policymakers, the assumption being that it was Canadians who were left
facing the "problem" in question.
