Our Events

Events

The mission of the CIC is to promote an understanding of international affairs and Canada’s role in a changing world by providing Canadians with a non-partisan, nationwide forum for informed discussion, analysis and debate. Accordingly, the cornerstone of the CIC’s work is our events program. The CIC national office and our branches hold more than 150 events per year in cities across the country. In particular, our branch events give members an opportunity to directly engage with global issues that often intersect with local concerns. The CIC also supports events outside of Canada, often in partnership with other global think tanks, that can introduce Canadian perspectives to global audiences. CIC events take on many different forms, from academic lectures and panel discussions to town hall meetings and pub nights. Please consult our events calendar for a listing of CIC-organized and sponsored events.

EVENT DESCRIPTION

As the Middle East falls prey to escalating and widening violence, our speaker will examine the following questions: to what extent was/wasn’t 7 October motivated by Arab-Israeli normalization agreements; What is the position of Hamas within the self-styled Axis of Resistance; How has this coalition developed during the past year, and how has the Gaza conflict affected regional dynamics more generally.
