Does Canada need submarines? How will $12.8 billion for new defence spending affect the Canadian Forces? What does Canada's new international policy statement mean for naval forces? What lessons from the rich history of Canada's Navy can be applied to today's issues?
These are just a few of the topics that will be explored in the Canadian Naval Review. Published by the Centre for Foreign Policy Studies at HÂþ», this new quarterly journal will examine naval and maritime security issues from a unique Canadian perspective.Ê
"The Canadian Naval Review was created to provide an independent, respected focal point for academic, professional, and general public discussion of issues related to the strategic concepts, policies, historical perspectives, procurement programs and operations of the Canadian Navy, and the maritime dimension of national security," explains Peter Haydon, Senior Research Fellow with the Centre for Foreign Policy Studies and the new journal's Editor-in-Chief. "The articles, commentaries and opinion pieces appearing in the journal are invited from the widest possible spectrum for the purpose of informing, stimulating debate, and generally challenging readers."
The Centre will launch the Canadian Naval Review on Wednesday, May 4 at a special event from 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. on the WWII Deck at Pier 21 National Historic Site, 1055 Marginal Road, Halifax.
