The protection of the homeland is paramount in U.S. national security strategy, yet strategic defense has often been overlooked in discussions of the U.S. strategic posture, particularly regarding security collaboration within North America. This book, featuring contributions from scholars in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, provides diverse perspectives on the military and political evolution of North American strategic defense. It emphasizes that this topic should not be taken for granted, as it is increasingly vital for both the United States and Canada in the 21st century. The unique binational command of NORAD is examined in the context of contemporary global threats, expanding the definition of North American defense to include Mexico and exploring the dynamics of interdependence during the Trump era. This edited volume showcases a mix of established and emerging scholars with expertise in NORAD and related security issues, making it a significant contribution to the field since the Cold War. Covering both broad and specific topics, this collection is essential reading for academics, policymakers, and the general public, highlighting the importance of strategic defense collaboration in North America.
