The Department of International
Studies and History, CHRIST (Deemed to be University), organised a Guest
Lecture by Dr. Charlotte Yates from University of Guelph, on the topic “Free
Trade in an Age of My Country First: Canada in the Global Economy”.
The talk essentially focused on the Canadian
trade relations wherein the Canada-Mexico-U.S. Trade Agreement became the core issue of discussion. Dr. Yates began her lecture by throwing light on the trade
relationship between Canada and U.S. via tracing the historicity of Canada’s
international trade itself. She highlighted the key features and impact of free
trade with Canada’s intense dependency on the U.S. for exports and imports as
well. She also discussed the evolving economic relationship between India and
Canada and its growing significance. She highlighted the political aspect, thereafter, to trace how the relationship with the U.S. has been dwindling with
negative effects of the Free Trade Agreement on the Canadian economy. By
dwelling upon how trade has become more polarized and politicized in today’s
day and age, she emphasized on the response of the Canadian people as well.
The lecture was followed by a
constructive Q&A session wherein the students and faculties clarified
doubts regarding the impacts of Brexit, the Chinese market and Canada's potential to become a super power.
Dr. Madhumati Deshpande, Department Coordinator gave a token of appreciation to Dr. Yates which was followed by a vote of thanks.
