Distributed Security as Cyber Strategy: Outlining a Comprehensive Approach
for Canada in Cyberspace
by Ron Deibert
A new research
paper by Ron Deibert, director of the Canada Centre for Global
Security Studies at the Munk School of Global Affairs, reviews
the world of cyber security through a global perspective. The
paper argues that cyber security is essential to a democratic
country, as without a global communications network Canadians
cannot communicate and share ideas freely, which is a critical
component of its democratic system.
The Ghost of General
Otter: Putting the Canadian Forces Report on Transformation 2011
in Context
by Andrew Godefroy
After nearly a decade of
military commitment to war, counterinsurgency, and stability
operations in Afghanistan and elsewhere, the Canadian government
in 2010 initiated a shift in its national security and economic
policies that would ultimately lead to a significant contraction
in the total level of funding invested in national defence, thus
giving rise to the Canadian Forces Transformation Team (CFTT)
under the direction of Gen. Andrew Leslie.When the team produced
its final Report on Transformation it appeared draconian and
invited immediate criticism. However, Andrew Godefroy argues
that despite all of the criticism the report will likely be
adopted. |
