Policy Outreach

Reclaiming Global Governance: Prospects for an Uncertain World

On April 3, 2014, the Norman Paterson School of International Affairs (NPSIA), the Canadian Foreign Policy Journal (CFPJ) and iAffairs Canada presented a conference at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada on Reclaiming Global Governance: Prospects for an Uncertain World.  This event also served as the inaugural launch event for iAffairs Canada, an online hub for academics, policy practitioners and civil society organizations to debate and discuss issues relevant to international affairs.

Collective efforts to manage global problems face complex challenges, with important consequences for national governments and public policymakers. This outreach event aimed to better understand the complexity of core global governance challenges and to translate that understanding into practical policy guidance. Our capacity to find innovative solutions to contemporary global governance problems is improved by engaging academics, policymakers and the broader civil society in a Global Governance Knowledge Network.  Click HERE for a copy of the agenda and biographies!

Canada-U.S. Defence Relations: A Partnership for the 21st Century

A conference on Canada-U.S. Defence Relations: A Partnership for the 21st Century was held at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada on March 5, 2014. Policy practitioners, academics and representatives of civil society organizations came together to discuss many of the complex and evolving issues in the bilateral security and defence relationship. All original research and policy recommendations will be featured in a forthcoming special issue of Canadian Foreign Policy Journal to be published later this year. These efforts will promote public engagement with issues of Canadian and American defence and security and create a framework for additional outreach beyond the scholarly and policy communities.

Partners involved in the creation and promotion of this event include the Norman Paterson School of International Affairs (NPSIA) and Canadian Foreign Policy Journal (CFPJ), Carleton University; the Association for Canadian Studies in the United States (ACSUS), University at Buffalo – State University of New York; Centre for International Development (CID), Ball State University; and iAffairs Canada.  Click HERE for a copy of the final report!
