Power is shifting between societies, countries, and regions. New powers are emerging, while some of the world鈥檚 oldest, greatest powers are in decline. The processes of globalization are 鈥渟hrinking鈥� the world. These changes have momentous and far-reaching impacts. What does this mean for Canada?

With this theme in mind, the Symposium Committee welcomes submissions from a variety of disciplines which discuss Canadian domestic policy in an international context and/or international issues which have implications for domestic Canadian politics.

Below are some examples of possible topics:

Human Rights

Immigration and Refugee Policy

Environmental Policy

Health

Defense/International Relations (e.g. Responsibility to Protect, Peacekeeping, Arctic Sovereignty)
