Welcome to the Centre

Located in the School of Policy Studies at Queen’s University, the Centre for International and Defence Policy was established in 1975 to provide a focal point for research, publication and education on Canadian foreign and defence policy and other aspects of international relations.

The Centre supports a range of activities in the field of security and defence; through the publications and other activities of its Fellows, it contributes to public debate on foreign and defence policy and on issues of international peace and security helps shape a distinctive Canadian view of the world, and of Canada’s role in global affairs.
