CIGI is an independent, non-partisan think tank that conducts peer-reviewed research and trusted analysis to inform policy makers. Their goal is to improve the lives of people around the world. The Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI) is a global network of researchers and strategic partners that provide policy solutions for the digital age. The organization is headquartered in Waterloo, Canada and is supported by the Canadian government, the Ontario government, and its founder Jim Balsillie. The report focuses on rethinking Canada's national security strategy in the context of economic security and the changing global economy. The authors, Dan Ciuriak and Patricia Goff, argue that the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for a new and coordinated national security strategy that takes into account the interrelatedness of various security threats, including foreign policy, domestic innovation and intellectual property, data governance, cybersecurity, and trade. The report suggests that Canada can play a role in shaping global policy and rule-making to better protect future prosperity and strengthen domestic security.
