Abstract

Canada's links with and involvement in Latin America have become more extensive over the past decade but, Paul Dufour, John de La Mothe and James Muffin note, in at least one important area —scientific research and technological development — Canada's relations in the region are weak. The authors examine the new “strategic” understanding of the role of science and technology in foreign relations, the greater need for international cooperation to cover the increased costs of conducting research, and the strengths and weaknesses of scientific and technological production in Canada and the countries of Latin America. They outline the ways Canada could build on its links within the region to forge a mutually beneficial partnership in scientific and technological research efforts that could enhance trade and economic development.
