Summary

The last Canadian national security strategy was published over 20 years ago. We now live in a vastly different geopolitical world, a world transformed by diverse and fast changing threats. The government has pledged to write and publish a new national security strategy. We will examine what it should look like, the objectives it might serve, and the audiences it must reach.

This masterclass is offered as part of the National Security Masterclass Series. 

Masterclass Series

The Balsillie Executive Institute is continuing its  innovative series of national security masterclasses. Key topical issues reflect a changing national and global security environment and the threats and challenges facing Canada.
 
Each masterclass features an intensive, fast-paced analysis of the issues, led by Dr. Wesley Wark. The key learning objective of the masterclass is to equip students with a critical understanding of the policy challenges involved for each topic.
