In this second capsule of the Strategic Analysis Network led by Jean-Frédéric Légaré-Tremblay, our experts [Anessa Kimball](https://ras-nsa.ca/expert/anessa-kimbal/) and [Jean-Christophe Boucher](https://ras-nsa.ca/expert/jean-christophe-boucher/) question the relevance and viability of Canada's defense policy “Protection, Security, Engagement” of 2017. In a context combining the COVID-19 pandemic, the re-emergence of protectionism and nationalism, the rise of China and other regional powers and the withdrawal of the Americans, is this policy adequate to address current challenges? If not, on what and how should it be revised?
