Woodrow Wilson Center

3:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m.

The Canada Institute, in collaboration with Hudson Institute, invites you to a discussion of the themes and issues raised in renowned scholar Stephen Clarkson's new book Does North America Exist?: Governing the Continent after 9/11. Clarkson and fellow panelists Christopher Sands of the Hudson Institute, Robert Pastor of American University, Charles Doran of The Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies, and Sidney Weintraub of the Center for Strategic and International Studies will debate whether North America exists in a meaningful way economically, politically, and culturally by looking at the institutions created by NAFTA, a broad selection of economic sectors, and the security policies put in place by the three neighboring countries following 9/11.

This timely conference aims to foster discussion on the extent to which the United States' dominance in the continent has been enhanced or mitigated by trilateral connections with its two continental partners.

Seating is limited. RSVP to Canada@wilsoncenter.org
