• Why Did Canada Sit Out of the Iraq War? One Constructivist Analysis

Why did Canada stay out of the Iraq War in 2003? This decision is not only puzzling considering Canada's recent foreign policy record, but it also confounds the logic of a number of International Relations theories. In this paper, I offer a constructivist explanation of Canada's Iraq decision. In this account, national identity is a function of state-to-society relations, meaning that the dominant discourse at the societal level in a given period will shape foreign policy choices. I argue that the dominant discourse on Canadian identity, as recovered in an analysis of popular texts in Canadian society in 2002-2003, enabled Ottawa's non-participation in the US-led coalition of the willing.
