Americas Program: Focus on North America

Overview

The Mexico Project analyses the range of issues that impact the bilateral relationship and Mexico's progress toward accountable, democratic government. These issues include but are not limited to: the increasing integration of the U.S. and Mexican economies, Mexico's continuing democratization process, border security, immigration policy, U.S.-Mexico counter-narcotic cooperation efforts, sustainable development in the border region, and the Mexican executive and legislative branches' capacity to govern.

Overview

Canada and the United States have together shared a geographical space for two hundred years in a relationship that is familiar, mutually beneficial, and often mutually discomfiting. Canada is by far the largest U.S. trading partner and a key strategic ally, and CSIS is the leading U.S. research institution to have established a permanent unit devoted to new thinking, strategic insight and practical solutions for relations with Canada in the context of the immediate U.S. regional neighborhood. The CSIS Canada Project is dedicated to the study of Canada and the Canada-United States relationship, and to analyzing the process of deepening North American integration that is transforming them both and establishing the new dynamics of a continental economy.
