His broader academic interests include insurgency and counterinsurgency in the Global South, Canadian foreign and social policy, and Jewish political culture.
In this article, Zev Wood examines the NATO and Canadian-level implications of NATO’s decision to replace its aging Boeing E-3 Sentry surveillance fleet with the GlobalEye. He argues that the deal, while reflecting NATO’s desire to improve its military capacity, points to a broader realignment away from the United States. He underscores that this moment provides Canada with a strategic window to entrench itself as a reliable alternative to the United States and a burgeoning defence manufacturing nation.
