Fergusson (political studies, Centre for Defence and Security Studies, U. of Manitoba, Canada) details Canada's policy on ballistic missile defense from 1954 to 2009, with a focus on the response to US initiatives. He draws on previously classified government documents and interviews with senior officials to illustrate that the contemporary debate is similar to the past debate on the subject: weak leadership and an avoidance of decision making. He describes Canada's response to each era of US policy: the anti-ballistic missile era, the Strategic Defense Initiative (Star Wars), Global Protection against Limited Strikes, National Missile Defense, and the Ground-based Midcourse Defense system.
