Research
Broad area of research: conservatism and the right, North American (Canada, Mexico, US) and Latin American politics, international politics.
Within that broad area, I have recently focused on the following specific topics:
- Conservatism and the political right (ideologies, movements, strategies, impacts on public policy),
- Canadian politics (institutional and socioeconomic dynamics, Canadian history, provincial politics—especially Quebec and Alberta—and Canadian security policy)
- Federalism,
- Regionalism (region-making in the Americas, for economic and political purposes),
- Nationalism.
Dozens of contributions published in either one of the four official languages of the Americas (English, French, Spanish or Portuguese).
Supervisor for MA or PhD students; drawing from thirty-plus year experience with methodology, empirical research and comparative politics.
