Securing Canada’s Future tackles the most pressing national and international security challenges that Canada will face in the decade ahead, with insights from women who are leaders in the field of security studies.

After decades of uncontested dominance, the era of American hegemony is ending and a new multi-polar world order is emerging in its place. This transformation is also occurring alongside uncontrolled climate change and the development of volatile new technologies. Together, these factors dramatically complicate the global threat landscape.

Securing Canada’s Future offers a comprehensive analysis of the most serious challenges that Canada will face in the near future. Written by leading Canadian women scholars and security experts, this collection covers the most critical risks and threats on the horizon, including rising Chinese power, resurgent Russian aggression, escalating competition in the Arctic, the near-irreversibility of climate change, disaster management and mitigation, evolving cybersecurity threats, and gendered violence.

Securing Canada’s Future explores what this future threat landscape looks like for Canadians and shows how Canada can prepare for and mitigate upcoming risks. This practical, forward-thinking volume maps out the most urgent national and international security issues that Canada is destined to face in the foreseeable future.

Aisha Ahmad is an associate professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of Toronto, a senior fellow at Massey College, and a member of the Royal Society of Canada’s College of New Scholars, Artists, and Scientists.
