On Defence and Security is a podcast series that examines defence and military affairs both in Canada and internationally. Bridging the gap between academic research and policy is crucial, especially in areas as complex and important as military and defense affairs. By providing a platform for informed discussions, Conversations on Defence and Security can help policymakers make more well-informed decisions and enable the public to better understand these critical issues. It likely serves as a resource for scholars, policymakers, military personnel, and anyone interested in defense and security matters, both in Canada and globally.
