Abstract
The "Trudeau Doctrine" refers to the reordering of
Canadian defense priorities which emphasized domestic determinants
in the formulation of defense policy in the early
1970s. Contemporary analyses of Canadian affairs share a
consensus that the doctrine failed, was abandoned, and
replaced, by 1976, by Canada's traditional foreign policy.
This thesis examines the development of Canadian
bicultural nationalism prior to 1968 and re-examines the
formulation of Canadian defense policy between 1963-1973.
The "Trudeau Doctrine" is shown to be a successful continuation
of Prime Minister Trudeau 's basic political aims:
suppression of politicized bicultural nationalism and
development of national unity. Inconsistencies in the conventional
interpretation of Canadian affairs and the consistent
operation of the "Trudeau Doctrine" in defense policy
formulation between 1963 and 1978 are demonstrated. The
implications of continued operation of the "Trudeau Doctrine"
for NATO and North American defense are assessed.
