Our Mission

The Canadian Global Affairs Institute’s mission is to identify Canadian global interests and to promote Canada’s active and effective involvement in the international arena. We pursue this mission through the production of authoritative, relevant and rigorous public policy analysis, and the dissemination of this strategic analysis to Canadian policy-makers and the public. To succeed, it is imperative that we inform both decision makers and the public of the connection between international affairs and the ongoing pursuit of a more secure and prosperous Canada.

About CANADIAN GLOBAL AFFAIRS INSTITUTE

The Canadian Global Affairs Institute began in 2001 as the Canadian Defence & Foreign Affairs Institute (CDFAI) with a mandate to promote and inform government and the public about the value of a strong international Canadian presence. Our aim is the provision of insightful analysis and data regarding Canadian policy in all realms of global affairs – defence, development, diplomacy, security, international law, trade and natural resource management, and global governance. We achieve this by promoting and disseminating the policy options analysis produced by subject matter experts via conferences, publications and the media.
