Abstract
In recent years, Canada has moved steadily toward greater approximation with the countries of the Americas. This is evidenced both in diplomatic terms and more concretely through increased trade, investment, and mobility in the form of activity in tourism and study abroad. While such trends have been the subject of considerable investigation and debate, very little attention has been paid to subnational linkages in the form of sister-city relationships in the Americas. This study seeks a partial remedy to this deficiency, through examination of changing patterns of Canadian-Latin American/Caribbean municipal ties over the past two decades. The research reveals that municipal ties are indeed growing across the region. It further suggests that such growth has largely been motivated by the more pragmatic ends of municipalities as subnational units, as opposed to agency linked to a developed world agenda as suggested by existing theoretical models.
