Guest Appearance on the Engaging with Emerging Scholars Podcast

With apologies for the lack of content lately, here is a guest appearance that Carter recently had on the Engaging with Emerging Scholars podcast. This is a bit of a different topic that what The Affair's Current has evolved into, but, hope you find it interesting just the same.


The podcast discusses a recent report on deliberating on different geopolitical orientations Canada could adopt towards the Indo-Pacific region given a host of uncertainties and stresses in global and regional balance and networks of political, economic and military power. 

The report, co-written by the the podcast host Adam MacDonald and Carter, was published by the Conference of Defence Associations Institute and be accessed here
