Ernie Regehr, O.C. will join The Simons Foundation as Senior Fellow responsible for the Foundation’s Arctic Security programme, effective October 1, 2012.   Mr. Regehr’s activities will involve research and writing for the purposes of disseminating information on issues of Arctic security and the pursuit commitments to region-wide cooperative security principles and arrangements.  While the focus will be on regional conflict and security, particular attention will be paid to Canadian approaches to Arctic security, including the examination of national security policies and defence policies of Canada, as well as deployments, relevant to Arctic security. This work will explore policies conducive to the permanent demilitarization of Arctic regional security and to the management of political conflict in support of cooperative security.
