    Q)   Fluency:  English is nominee's first language

    R)   Justification:

         The University of Alberta is about to launch an
    "Institute for United States Studies" (IUSS)-the first of
    its kind in a province that takes its relationship with the
    United States very seriously. In a country that has, up to
    this point, not taken a systematic approach to the study of
    the United States, the post finds this initiative a positive
    sign that academics and administrators are focusing their
    energies and their funding on a research and teaching
    institute devoted to the United States.  The IUSS in
    Edmonton will be housed in the Faculty of Arts, will be
    multi-disciplinary, and will focus on a variety of public
    policy issues surrounding the very important Canada-U.S.
    relationship.

         Security will be an important focus, and Kevin Haggerty
    is well-placed to direct this section of the IUSS.  He is
    keen to learn more about security efforts in the United
    States following 9-11 (which he correctly says have
    dramatically changed at a pace that make it difficult to
    follow at times), and his participation in the Fulbright
    Winter Institute will give him the background and first-hand
    exposure to current issues in this field that will prepare
    him well to develop the University of Alberta's innovative
    program.

         Canada and the United States arguably share the closest
    security relationship in the world, with Canadian and
    American forces side by side protecting North American air
    space at NORAD, fighting terror and nurturing stability in
    Afghanistan, and sharing intelligence daily to foil terror
    and international crime.  With a 5000-mile border, as the
    U.S. Ambassador has said, we cannot secure our countries
    without each other in the post-9-11 environment.  Yet
    Canadian public opinion towards U.S. foreign and security
    policies has grown conflicted.  Some view what they perceive
    as U.S. unilateralism as reason to distance themselves from
    U.S. international interventions.  Some question the balance
    between counterterrorism measures and personal privacies and
    civil rights in the wake of the Patriot Act.  The U.S.
    deportation of Canadian-Syrian Maher Arar to Syria, where he
    was imprisoned and allegedly tortured for nearly a year,
    then released without charge, led to a public inquiry on the
    Canadian government's role in his deportation, with the
    public accusing the Canadian security and intelligence
    services of improperly sharing information with Americans
    and the U.S. of violating human rights.  In this
    environment, the Mission has worked hard to impress upon
    Canadian opinion leaders the scale of the stakes in the war
    on terror in the post-9-11 period.  Arming Professor
    Haggarty with the facts, perspectives and contacts to
    accurately portray U.S. objectives, policies and approaches
    in the field of security, intelligence and law enforcement
    for emerging Canadian leaders in the University of Alberta's
    pioneering U.S. Studies Center will address that goal.

    S)   Nominee's Personal Statement:

         It almost appears as if the focus of this study
    institute was crafted specifically to further my research
    and teaching interests and advance institutional
    developments at my university.

         As the Director of the Criminology program at one of
    Canada's premier research universities my professional
    activities routinely address developments in American
    security policy, both domestic and international. My
    longstanding research program concentrates on issues of
    security, intelligence and information technology. This
    includes publications on the attractions and limitations of
    new surveillance technologies as part of the war on
    terrorism. I have written on recent developments in U.S.
    military practice and also on the complex relationship
    between organizational and technological developments in the
    American military and domestic crime policy - a topic which
    I think is particularly germane after 9/11. Some of my more
    prominent works in this area include the co-authored book
    Policing the Risk Society which was awarded special
    recognition by the Herbert Jacob Book Prize committee of the
    American Law and Society Association. I also have a
    forthcoming co-edited book The New Politics of Surveillance
    and Visibility (University of Toronto Press) which is
    centrally concerned with security developments after 9/11. I
    teach graduate and undergraduate courses where such issues
    figure prominently, and as noted below, am eager to develop
    two new courses that concentrate specifically on American
    security policy.

         I believe that my participation in this study institute
    would allow me to benefit substantially in four specific
    areas:

    1) I am committed to continuing and expanding my research in
    the area of U.S. security policy, with a particular emphasis
    on the place of intelligence and information in security
    practice. While I try to remain abreast of developments in
    this area, after 9/11 policy change has been so far-reaching
    and advanced at such speed that it can be difficult to
    remain current. As such, I see the prospect of intensive
    study in this area to be a true blessing and would expect
    that my research would receive a monumental boost from such
    an experience.

    2) The University of Alberta is currently discussing a
    faculty-wide initiative to develop an Institute on United
    States Policy Development (IUSPD). My participation in this
    seminar would allow me to solicit concrete advice from other
    participants about how to best develop our proposal and to
    fashion such an Institute.

    3) I would also use this opportunity to further develop two
    courses on U.S. security policy. The first is an
    undergraduate course on American security policy (domestic
    and international) that I envision as being a central
    component of the IUSPD. The second would be a graduate
    course concentrating specifically on developments in the
    aftermath of 9/11.

    4) Participation in this study institute would also provide
    an excellent opportunity to fashion new research and
    teaching collaborations with scholars with similar
    interests.

         While I would attend such an institute seeking to learn
    as much as possible, I also believe that my research and
    experience in this area would allow me to make informed
    contributions to the discussions. Canadians are not
    disinterested observers of American security policy, but are
    actively involved in assorted trans-national security
    collaborations, with Canada often following the American
    lead on security matters. Hence, both I and my students
    would benefit immensely from a more sophisticated
    understanding of U.S. security policy -  something that can
    only benefit international relations more generally.

    ¶R. RATIONALE:

    Dr. Pesic was recently named Executive Director at the
    Council on Transatlantic Relations, University of Toronto, a
    new foreign policy institution that the Mission expects to
    achieve many of the goals of the complementary Atlantic
    Council of Canada he formerly led:  to promote a broader and
    deeper understanding of international peace and security
    issues relating to NATO by engaging Canadians on Canada's

    role in NATO and its commitment to transatlantic
    cooperation. Dynamic and energetic in reaching out to both
    traditional and younger groups, Dr. Pesic stimulates thought
    on Canada's approach to security and cooperation among
    Canada, the U.S., and their allies through exchanges,
    seminars, articles and publications.  He explores NATO
    relationships and developments, cooperation in Europe, and
    NORAD.

    As the former executive director of the Atlantic Council of
    Canada, Pesic was responsible for operations and
    programming, conferences and the preparation of the Canadian
    foreign policy publication "The Transatlantic Quarterly,"
    which offers an overview and assessment of security
    throughout the Western Hemisphere, the strategic and
    economic dimensions, and North America's relationship and
    role within the NATO Alliance. Further exposure to the U.S.
    positions on security issues and foreign policy would boost
    Dr. Pesic's effectiveness in spurring dialogue that will aid
    the cooperation so essential to both our countries' security
    and well-being.

    Canada and the United States arguably share the closest
    security relationship in the world, with Canadian and
    American forces side by side protecting North American air
    space at NORAD, fighting terror and nurturing stability in
    Afghanistan, and cooperating on peacekeeping and security
    missions worldwide.  With a 5000-mile border, as the U.S.
    Ambassador has said, we cannot secure our countries without
    each other in the post-9-11 environment.  Yet Canadian
    public opinion towards U.S. foreign and security policies
    has grown conflicted.  Some view what they perceive as U.S.
    unilateralism as reason to distance themselves from U.S.
    international interventions.  Some question the balance
    between counterterrorism measures and personal privacies and
    civil rights in the wake of the Patriot Act.  And many
    regard upgrades of the Canadian forces as unnecessary
    expenses, opting to fund social services instead.  In this
    environment, the Mission has worked hard to impress upon
    Canadian opinion leaders the scale of the stakes in the war
    on terror.  This nomination seeks to address that goal.

    ¶S.  Dr. Pesic's personal statement:

    I remember vividly my meeting at Parliament Hill on April
    27, 2004 to listen to Canada's first comprehensive national
    security policy - Securing an Open Society: Canada's
    National Security Policy. A week prior to the announcement,
    I received a call from the Privy Council Office inviting me
    to attend a select meeting of security and defence community
    experts to participate in a government's announcement on its
    new national security policy. I was pleased be to part of
    this historic moment in Canadian security policy history.

    I began to take considerable interest in Canada's national
    security position as well as its overall response in the
    Post-9/11 era.  This prompted me to write a report for the
    Transatlantic Quarterly magazine entitled: Assessing
    Canada's New National Security Policy.  I did a
    comprehensive survey of the existing literature, which
    revealed that Canada was indeed slow to respond to U.S.
    concerns over issues pertaining to national and
    international security, particularly as it related to the
    War on Terror, immigration and overall border control
    issues.  Although Canada did eventually begin to shift its
    working priorities closer to U.S. national security policy
    concerns, contentions in Canada-U.S. political and trade
    relations continue to negatively influence Canadian public
    opinion of our bilateral relationship with the U.S.

    Having since closely observed these issues from my current
    position as Executive Director of the Council on
    Transatlantic Relations (CTR), (a Canadian-based think-tank
    focusing on international policy research and analysis on
    security and defence issues), I am concerned that the
    current U.S. strategic defence message and its national
    security policy concerns are not being adequately received
    by Canadian policy-and-decision makers.  This is similar to
    the misperceptions and lack of understanding of the security
    field within which NATO now operates - something that I have
    been working hard to address.

    Several weeks ago, I lead a high-level Canadian Delegation
    to the European Union and NATO Headquarters.  The intent of
    this CTR Canadian Leaders Forum was to provide these
    influential policy-makers and opinion leaders with an
    overview of the new security challenges faced by the EU and
    NATO, and the actions these organizations have taken to
    address these new challenges and threats, as well as to
    discuss Canada's role in the Fight Against Terrorism.

    The group included, former Minister of Defence Mr. David
    Pratt, Parliamentary Secretary for Transportation, the
    Honourable Jim Karygiannis, a Managing Editor from the
    National Post, a Director of the Canadian Defence and
    Foreign Affairs Institute, a senior academic from University
    of British Columbia as well as very senior executives from
    firms such as Hill & Knowlton and Stratos Global
    Corporation. They expressed a keen willingness to be message
    multipliers to their domestic audiences and various
    constituency groups. Given the successful outcome of this
    event, I would like to repeat these efforts and direct them
    toward bringing a similar calibre of Canadians to the U.S.
    As such, the CTR is currently planning a Leaders Forum to
    Washington, D.C. and NATO Transformation in Norfolk, VA,
    sometime in late spring 2006.

    Moreover, the CTR plans to organize three major events in
    2006 focusing on the Canada-U.S. strategic relationship.
    The first of these high-level events is a Roundtable
    Conference entitled, "Evaluating Canada's National Security
    Strategy Two Years Later-Perspectives from Ottawa and
    Washington D.C." to be held in Ottawa in April/May 2006. The
    second is an International Security Conference focusing on
    Transportation and Security.  This conference will closely
    examine best practices in the Fight Against Terrorism. This
    international event will be held in Toronto in early June
    ¶2006.  The third event will focus on broader transatlantic
    security issues and concerns.  This Forum, entitled: "The
    World of e-Borders-The E.U. Experience and the Canada and
    U.S. Smart Border Strategy", will explore a several new
    concepts in international security, including the
    establishment of a transatlantic security perimeter as well
    as emerging themes in "soft defence".  It is scheduled to
    take place in Ottawa in the late fall of 2006.

    As a result of my extensive work in the Canadian security
    and defence field, I have gained much knowledge of the
    thematic issues involved in the post-9/11 era.  However, I
    am keen to further my knowledge and comprehension of
    American views on what constitutes U.S. national security
    and defence policy, and evolving methodologies from the
    immediate post-Cold War period to the current War on Terror.

    I believe that I would be a strong candidate in the program
    as I have the specific interdisciplinary skills, which are
    necessary to understand the nuances of advanced
    policymaking. These skills were developed during my ten-year
    association with the Atlantic Council of Canada and through
    my international involvement with the Atlantic Treaty
    Association.

    I am also capable of contextualizing the various historical,
    political, economic, cultural and geographic factors that
    underpin the formulation of U.S. foreign and national
    security policy. For example, I had a long working
    relationship with Foreign Affairs Canada to place top-
    calibre young Canadians graduates at leading Washington-
    based think tanks to examine various international security
    and defence related issues. I negotiated placements with the
    Center for Strategic and International Studies, the Atlantic
    Council of the United States, the Brookings Institute and
    the Carnegie Centre for International Peace.  Facilitating
    these working relationships between the Government of
    Canada, U.S. institutions and the appropriate candidates, I
    had the opportunity to explore firsthand these key elements
    of American policy-thinking.

    I would be truly honoured to participate in the Winter
    Institute's program on U.S. National Security Policymaking
    in a Post- 9/11 World.  The experience and knowledge I gain
    from the program would filter beyond my own comprehension
    and be used to develop CTR programming and discussions on
    domestic and international security policy issues. Such
    programming would aim at strengthening and enhancing
    Canada-U.S. relations among senior policy-and-decision
    makers, something that I believe would be extremely
    beneficial to both our countries.

    I thank you for your consideration.
