CIPS US Election Special Series: Episode 3 - The Special Relationship

With the US as an all-powerful neighbour and main trading partner, Canadian analyses of the US elections are naturally focused on what’s at stake for Canada and Canadians. But the November 2020 elections are also eagerly watched in other parts of the world, where the outcome could have important implications. With this series of podcasts, CIPS shifts the spotlight away from Canad a to ask what’s at stake in the US elections for other regions of the world and for international cooperation more generally? In this episode CIPS’ Michael Williams speaks with Dr Michelle Bentley (Royal Holloway, UK) and Prof Brendon O’Connor (University of Sydney, Australia) on the topic of the US’ ‘Special Relationship’ with both countries.
