OTTAWA, October 25, 2011  —  The Centre for International Policy Studies (CIPS) at the University of Ottawa has launched a new global affairs blog with cutting-edge commentary on current international issues. The blog features twenty-two experts on international topics, from climate change and international finance to human rights and military intervention.

“This online resource will offer in-depth insight and ‘behind the headlines’ analysis that will help journalists, policy practitioners and interested members of the public make greater sense of complex international events and issues,” said Professor Roland Paris, director of CIPS.

The blog reflects the strength of the University of Ottawa as a centre for analysis of global issues and foreign policy.. Over the past five years, the University has hired more than three dozen international affairs experts. They include political scientists, economists and legal scholars, as well as distinguished former policy practitioners, who joined a well-established faculty. Together, they represent what is now the strongest collection of international affairs experts at any Canadian university.
