The Fractured International Order: Implications for the Defence of Canada

Join us live on December 10 and 11, 2020: https://video.ibm.com/channel/DFPzEGZDkRG

Canada must adapt to an unpredictable international environment, defined by increased great power competition and the proliferation of regional conflicts to which it is often called upon to respond. The Network for Strategic Analysis’ annual colloquium will examine the theme of a fractured international order by considering the adaptation of different regions to this new international architecture, the viability of multilateralism as a model for interstate cooperation, and the more visible role of capacity building in conflict management.
