Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Amidst heightened tensions between Western nations and China, Canadians have found themselves astonished by hostage crises, cyberattacks, harassment of members of our government, and theft of intellectual property worth untold billions of dollars. From PM Pierre Trudeau's earliest journeys through the 'Middle Kingdom' prior to his election to Parliament in the 1960s, the communist government of the People's Republic of China has perceived Canada as a staging ground for spying on and pressuring its ultimate target, the United States. As Canada's first tech giant, Nortel, was plundered of intellectual property by digital spies; as Canada was manipulated into advocating against the independence of Taiwan, infuriating our closest ally; and as Chinese Canadians were targeted in the country where they thought they d escaped Mao's terrors, Canada's leaders have too often seen only what they want to see in China: an emerging market of inestimable value, and fertile soil for democratic change for a long-tyrannized people. Generations of Communist leadership have gladly allowed Canada's government to labour under these misapprehensions, even when the evidence of China's spying, theft, and harassment of Canadian citizens has been happening right before its eyes. Canada has rarely allowed itself to believe what the rest of the world has long understood. Thoroughly researched and guided by the author's experience as a historian and China specialist, and informed by numerous interviews with generations of politicians, diplomats and bureaucrats, as well as members of diaspora communities targeted by China who have endured this harassment for too long, Under Siege is a timely, eye-opening account of a country compromised by its own illusions in a time of rising global conflict.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. During periods of intense conflict, either at home or abroad, governments enact emergency powers in order to exercise greater control over the society that they govern. The expectation though is that once the conflict is over, these emergency powers will be lifted.An Exceptional Law showcases how the emergency law used to repress labour activism during the First World War became normalized with the creation of Section 98 of the Criminal Code, following the Winnipeg General Strike. Dennis G. Molinaro argues that the institutionalization of emergency law became intricately tied to constructing a national identity. Following a mass deportation campaign in the 1930s, Section 98 was repealed in 1936 and contributed to the formation of Canadas first civil rights movement. Portions of it were used during the October Crisis and recently in the Anti-Terrorism Act of 2015. Building on the theoretical framework of Agamben, Molinaro advances our understanding of security as ideology and reveals the intricate and codependent relationship between state-formation, the construction of liberal society, and exclusionary practices.
