      abstract = {The book aims to explain the factors that brought about a  high degree of similarity between American and Canadian  foreign and security policies during the Afghanistan  intervention. Specifically, it seeks to explain why,  despite their different positions in the international  distribution of power, the United States and Canada  embraced similar counterinsurgency (COIN) strategies from  2005/2006 to 2011. During this time, the United States and  Canada fought against insurgent groups, sought to maintain  stabilized areas by mentoring Afghan forces, and invested  in infrastructure and governance. These goals, which  corresponded to the clear, hold, and build COIN components,  entailed sending troops and civilian officials to a war  zone and committing financial resources.
