CIDP Workshop
Combat Motivation - Past, Present and Future: the Canadian Context

CIDP Workshop

This workshop will build upon the latest research and last year’s CIDP workshops “Lost in Translation? The Impact of Military Culture on Alliance and Coalition Politics” and “Gender Mainstreaming in the Canadian Armed Forces: Benchmarking with NATO Allies and Partners” by focusing on how culture and diversity can influence motivation in combat. It aims to explore various dimensions of the relationship among combat motivation, unit cohesion, and operational effectiveness from a Canadian perspective, based on the most recent scholarship. The workshop will examine combat situations faced by the Canadian military from 1943 to the present day to see how traditional concepts of combat motivation based on unit cohesion and new concepts such as swift trust and diversity will impact on Canadian combat operations in the future.​
