Transformations underway in global politics are mirrored and concentrated in the Arctic.

For circumpolar countries, the security implications of international competition in the North are profound. KCIS 2022 proposes to explore these implications and how Canada, the United States and NATO allies can and should respond.

How will emerging great-power competition affect the security environment in the circumpolar region? What foreign and defence policy implications flow from the increased geopolitical/geostrategic instability in the Arctic? How will the changes in Arctic affect future defence and security operations?

Our four partner organizations; CIDP, SSI, NDC & CADTC are pleased to host KCIS 2022 on October 11–13 at the Holiday Inn—Kingston Waterfront in Kingston, On.

The conference will be available in both English and French via live translation.
