As a Canadian policy researcher and author I focus on issues related to global security, geopolitical shifts, and the role of "middle powers" such as Australia and Canada.
My work focuses on global challenges, conflict, alliances, and emerging threats including geopolitical shifts, global security, foreign policy, and social justice.
As a thought influencer on defense and international affairs my contributions are featured amongst publications like Australian Institute of International Affairs (AIIA) , The Geopolitics and The Mackenzie Institute.

“If by a "Liberal" they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people-their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights and their civil liberties-someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a "Liberal", then I'm proud to say I'm a "Liberal.”
