This seminar investigates the question of geopolitics within the geographic space of the North American continent. We will look at the ways in which the relations between the North American countries —Mexico, Canada, and the United States of America— have been constructed.
The course isolates a particular set of topics and considers the questions of foreign policy, borders, immigration, ethnicity and language, and the ways in which historical changes have affected the population of the three countries at both political and personal levels.
