Russia: Domestic Politics and International Relations

This course will provide participants with an understanding of the breadth and complexity of Canada-United States (U.S.) relations set against the backdrop of the priority that the Government of Canada gives to its relations with the U.S. in its foreign policy, as well as the challenges and current issues it faces in the management of the relationship.

The course will address some of the governance and security trends and rising economic opportunities across Africa, a diverse continent with increasing geopolitical importance. Canada has cultivated relationships in Africa for more than 5 decades to foster socio-economic development, enhance peace and security and promote democracy, human rights and the rule of law. Africa also has several emerging priority markets that offer broad commercial opportunities for Canada.
