Securing Canada's Future

""This important volume provides a broad and accessible overview of cutting-edge national security scholarship from a Canadian perspective, showcasing the work of women scholars in the field. Expertly edited by Aisha Ahmad, it features an outstanding group of scholars, covering many of the most important contemporary security challenges. With its excellent research and writing, this collection will be valuable to academic experts and inspirational for students who are just starting to explore these policy challenges and thinking about their own career paths.""--Brian Bow, Professor of Political Science, Dalhousie University ""Aisha Ahmad has drawn together some of the most important established and emerging voices in Canadian security and foreign policy. The authors provide insightful and readable analyses of emerging and traditional threats to Canadian security as well as critical perspectives on Canada's record on foreign policy and security both at home and abroad. Securing Canada's Future is vital reading for anyone who seeks to understand Canadian perspectives on global security in the next decade and beyond.""--Veronica Kitchen, Associate Professor of Political Science, University of Waterloo ""What I love about this collection is that it is a book about security, written by a very diverse group of women, not a book about 'women in security.' While the latter topic is important for understanding both the theory and practice of international relations, it is refreshing to have a volume where women contributors focus on their areas of expertise. Securing Canada's Future is a valuable look at Canadian security issues from a broad perspective.""--Stephanie Carvin, Associate Professor of International Relations, Carleton University
