This section provides information about Canadian research centres, its activities, services, networks, scientific results, potential applications for development, and contact information. A small number of universities and institutions have been considered, including the University of British Columbia University, the University of Calgary, York University, Carleton University, the University of Ottawa, and McGill University. Additional research institutions will be added gradually.

Centre for Developing-Area Studies (CDAS)

The Centre for Developing-Area Studies (CDAS) is an interdisciplinary research centre and part of the Faculty of Arts, McGill University. While CDAS members, including graduate students, faculty members and postdoctoral fellows, conduct research on international development in all regions of the so-called developing world, Latin America has always been a central focus. This research is intended to contribute directly to understanding the foundations of democratic governance. This larger question, in turn, is approached in terms of three distinct axes or research clusters: 1) Economic Development, 2) States and State-Building, and 3) Social Pluralism and Civil Society. In addition to our teaching and research activities, CDAS is committed to building bridges between academia, policymakers, and business and community leaders. For further information, visit CDAS' website at http://www.mcgill.ca/cdas

News

  • Mapping the Media in the Americas
