About the Project: This research responds to a need within the Canadian Armed Forces and the Department of National Defense to understand and operationalize the concept of ‘human security’ in a contemporary geopolitical context. It aims to uncover how human security interacts with Canada’s commitments to implementing the Women, Peace and Security agenda and obtaining stakeholder perspectives on the Canadian Armed Forces’ implementation of both security approaches.
