A conference analyzing the economic and political relationship between two important allies -- and a look at the road ahead -- is both timely and appropriate in this era of global uncertainty. Open to the public. A March 7 lecture (7 p.m., MU Sun Room), "Canada-U.S. Relations: Still Friends, Partners and Allies?" by Colin Robertson, precedes the conference.

More information available on the LAS website.
