Canadian International Council – Toronto Branch and Ben McNally Books presents :

This two-part question will be addressed in a conversation with University of Toronto political economist, Stephen Clarkson, who will touch on the question by discussing his analysis in the recently published third volume of his trilogy on North America, Dependent America? How Canada and Mexico Construct US Power, which he co-wrote with Matto
Mildenberger.

He will be joined by Larry Herman, who has deep professional knowledge of Canada-US trade conflicts, who will comment on the apparent paradox that Canada, while crucially important to the United States, appears unusually weak when negotiating with Washington.

Stephen Clarkson has long taught at the University of Toronto where he has specialized in the political economy of North America.  He is a senior fellow at the Centre for nternational Governance Innovation, a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, and a member of the Order of Canada.

Larry Herman was a Canadian diplomat at the UN in Geneva and New York in the 1970s.  Since leaving the diplomatic service 30 years ago, he has advised governments, international organizations and companies on international law.  He is a senior fellow of the C.D. Howe Institute.
