"Canada and Trade: Canada - Mexico - US trade agreement" 

by Dr Charlotte Yates from University of Guelph, 2019


VENUE: Central Block, Room No. 911

DATE: 04-02-2019

TIME: 11:30 am-1 pm

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.

Internship Experience- Indian Council of World Affairs-Avishka Ashok

My experience at the Indian Council of World Affairs has taught me the tedious process of research and the internal working of a think tank. Being a part of the core meetings and closed door conferences was a fascinating experience. I attended a meeting on the Afghan Peace Process which was attended by the Chief of Afghan High Peace Council and other delegates from Afghanistan. There was a conference on Indian - Russian relations which was attended by many researchers and ambassadors. I had the opportunity to work under research fellows at ICWA who guided me through my research paper.
