The Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI) and the John Holmes Trust are hosting a private, salon-style dinner.
The dinner is an extension of our recently published essay series, Situating Canada in a Changing World: Constructing a Modern and Prosperous Future. Two of the contributing authors, Jennifer Bonder and Meredith Lilly, will discuss their essays and provoke conversation on the theme of “Advancing Trade, Investment and Development in Canada.”
The late Canadian diplomat and commentator John Wendell Holmes believed that the best public policy emerged out of an appreciation of history and context. This essay series reflects on six contemporary themes in Canadian foreign and security policy, with historians considering the background of each issue and practitioners responding with a view to the future. Together, the essays demonstrate the value of history to a decision maker’s analytical calculus and offer practical suggestions to inform Canada’s response to the challenges ahead.
