Biography<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Laura Macdonald is a Professor in the Department of Political Science and the Institute of Political Economy at Carleton University. She has published numerous articles in journals and edited collections on such issues as the role of non-governmental organizations in development, global civil society, citizenship struggles in Latin America, Canadian development assistance and the political impact of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). She has edited four books: The Politics of Violence in Latin America and the Caribbean,<\/em> <\/em>Cambridge University Press, 2017 (with Tina Hilgers); North American in Question:<\/em> Regional Integration in an Era of Economic Turbulence<\/em>, University of Toronto Press, 2012 (with Jeffrey Ayres); Contentious Politics in North America,<\/em> <\/em>Palgrave Macmillan, 2009 (with Jeffrey Ayres); and Post-Neoliberalism in the Americas: Beyond the Washington Consensus?,<\/em> <\/em>Palgrave Macmillan, 2009 (with Arne Ruckert). She is co-author of Women, Democracy, and Globalization in North America: A Comparative Study<\/em>.  Palgrave Macmillan, 2006 (with Jane Bayes, Patricia Begne, Laura Gonzalez, Lois Harder, and Mary Hawkesworth), and author of Supporting Civil Society: The Political Impact of NGO Assistance to Central America<\/em>, Basingstoke, UK and New York City: Macmillan Press and St. Martin\u2019s Press, 1997. Her recent work looks at Canada\u2019s role in Latin America, policies to reduce crime and violence in Mexico City, and transnational activism around human rights in North America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Professor Macdonald is also a regular media commentator on issues related to Latin American and North American political economy, and is a member of the McLeod Group (www.mcleodgroup.ca<\/a>), a group of academics and development professionals working to advance Canadian policy and action in international cooperation and foreign affairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Current Research<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Laura Macdonald has several on-going research projects funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC). Her major research project is titled \u201cFrom minor player to major actor: The role of Canada in Latin America\u201d (see https:\/\/observatorio.squarespace.com<\/a>). This project involves analysis of Canada\u2019s role in Latin America under the Harper government focusing on three themes:  mining, migration and foreign policy, and four countries (Mexico, Guatemala, Peru and Argentina). Her work within this project has focused on such topics as research and analysis of the Harper government\u2019s Americas Strategy, Canadian trade and development assistance policies, relations with Mexico, and Canada\u2019s economic relations with emerging markets. She has also written with Christina Gabriel on programs that bring temporary foreign agricultural worker to Canada from both Mexico and Guatemala.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Macdonald is a co-investigator on a research program titled \u201cAusterity and its Alternatives\u201d, headed by Stephen McBride of McMaster University. This program brings together researchers from both universities and private research centres from Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland and Germany. Our goal is to probe simultaneously understandings of austerity in the Canadian context and to engage with and explore international understandings in order to stimulate greater reciprocal debate that can contribute to evidence-based policy-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She is also a co-investigator on a SSHRC-funded Insight Development grant headed by Lucy Luccisano and Paula Maurutto titled Safe Cities, Urban Politics and Social Policy in North America. This project studies community service hubs across three North American urban settings: Mexico City, New York City (NYC) and Toronto. In the last decade, municipal governments in these cities have invested heavily in the development of community service hubs to bring together policies around social provision with strategies for violence prevention. Our research examines key factors involved in the transmission of the community service hub model across North America and how this model has been implemented in different ways in each of the three sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
