About the Comissioned Papers:
Foreign Affairs Latinoamérica (FAL) will publish Spanish language translations of three NACTS papers from the “North
America Post-Bush” working paper series in its September-October 2008 edition.
FAL publishes both translations of English language content from the prestigious quarterly Foreign Affairs, and original
Spanish-language work. It is based at the Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de México (ITAM) in Mexico City, one of
NACTS’ partner universities.
FAL will publish the following papers:
- “Deep Integration Post-Bush,” an editorial by Daniel Drache, associate director of the Robarts Centre; José Luis Valdés-Ugalde, director of Centro de Investigaciones sobre America del Norte; and Rick van Schoik, director of the North American Center for Transborder Studies. The editorial argues that “the continent is engaged in an unprecedented political u-turn creating new options and even larger policy challenges.”
- “Still Different,” by Michael Adams, founder of Environics, one of Canada’s leading marketing and social survey research consultancies. The paper explores the divergence of Canadian and American values.
- “North America’s Forgotten Agenda: Getting Development Back on Track,” by NACTS Director Rick Van Schoik, and NACTS Associate Director Erik Lee, which discusses development in Mexico.
