The Robarts Centre for Canadian Studies is organizing a high level interdisciplinary Summer Institute on the crucial issues of hemispheric integration and social cohesion from a Canadian perspective from July 9 -19, 2001. It is for leading scholars from Latin American universities, top policy makers as well as a select number of doctoral students. The format is interactive and participatory.
The Summer Institute provides participants with a unique opportunity to work with Canadian specialists, as well as those from government, media, business, labour and social movements, on the new hemispheric trade agenda and Canada’s evolving role in integration. One of its goals will be to build a policy network.
Some of the topics and concerns that will serve as a basis for this year’s discussion are:
• Integration, Dollarization, Employment, Income Distribution & Gender Rights •
• Political Instability and New Directions in the Hemisphere: The Fox and Bush Presidencies
• Marginalization and Exclusion: The Hemisphere’s Number One Problem
• Power Asymmetry: Canada and Mexico Managing the U.S. Relationship
• Public Services After a Decade of Neo-Liberal Reforms
• Is the US Model of Governance Becoming the Hemispheric Standard?
• The Management of Borders: What Has Changed?
• Do Canada and the US Increasingly Share the Same Values?
• Homelessness, Public Housing and Taxes in Ontario
• Canadian Labour: Battered, Bruised But Not Down and Out like Its US Cousin
• Trade, Human Security and Social Policy After Seattle
• Labour and Civil Society: Are the ‘Dangerous Classes’ Part of the New Agenda?
• The Business Agenda for the Hemisphere: Does it Have One?
• Multilateralism From Above and Below
