About the Centre for International and Defence PolicyThe Centre for International and Defence Policy was established in 1975 as the Queen's Centre for International Relations under the directorship of Nils Ørvik. Its mandate, then as now, was to conduct research in matters of national and international security and other aspects of international relations. It supports teaching in the field of security and defence and, through its publications and activities of its members, contributes to public debate on Canadian foreign and defence policy, and on issues of international peace and security. In 2011, the Centre's name was changed to reflect more clearly the range of its interests as a research unit in the School of Policy Studies at Queen's University. Who We AreThe Centre's significant strengths in research come from the rich diversity of the Fellows attached to the Centre. Most are drawn from units of Kingston's two universities: Policy Studies, Political Studies, and History at Queen's, and War Studies, History, and Politics and Economics at the Royal Military College of Canada. The Centre has a number of External Fellows, and regularly hosts a number of post-doctoral fellows. Among our Fellows are retired ambassadors, former senior government officials, and retired senior officers in the Canadian Armed Forces.The Centre also hosts Visiting Defence Fellows from the Canadian Armed Forces, the U.S. Army, and the Bundeswehr, the German defence force. These officers bring a fresh, practical and international perspective to the work of the Centre. What We DoKingston Conference on International SecurityThe Centre partners with the Canadian Army Doctrine and Training Centre, the Strategic Studies Institute of the U.S. Army War College, and the NATO Defence College to hold the annual Kingston Conference on International Security. Full details, presentations and briefs of past KCIS can be found on the KCIS website .

Riga, Latvia

Multi-National Battle Group Commander of the NATO enhanced Forward Presence ( eFP) Battle Group Latvia.The arrival of the multinational Allied battlegroup in Latvia in June 2017 concluded the deployment of forces under NATO’s Enhanced Forward Presence in the Baltic States and Poland, thereby implementing the decisions made at the Wales and Warsaw Summits. Canada is the framework nation for the battalion-size NATO battlegroup deployed to Latvia, with Albania, Czech Republic, Italy, Montenegro, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Spain as contributing nations. These countries are sending, on a voluntary and rotational basis, their troops and combat-ready equipment to Latvia to deter any possible aggression, should the need arise. NATO’s multinational EFP battlegroup in Latvia aims at boosting defence and deterrence capabilities in the eastern part of the Alliance territory. The presence of the battlegroup is sending an unmistakable signal about the unwavering resolve of NATO members to consider an attack on one Ally as an attack on the whole Alliance of 29 members. NATO Enhanced Forward Presence is defensive in nature, proportionate to the challenge and fully in line with NATO’s international commitments.
