[edit] Activities
Launched in april 2004, the CÉRIUM is a new actor in the field of research on international relations in Quebec and Canada. Its principal research orientations are transatlantic dynamics, challenges brought by the economic globalization, global governance, peace and world security, cultural diversity, identity and transfers and the stakes and strategies of development. Questions related to China and North America are among its main priorities.
Each spring, the CÉRIUM organizes an international conference, either on a European or a North American subject. In the spring of 2005, a conference entitled "What ever happened to Cool Britannia? The UK after eight years of Blair" was held in Montréal. It gathered some thirty of the best British and North American specialists to discuss the United Kingdom of Tony Blair, just when the British were about to cast their votes for the elections.
On March 30-31 2006, the Chair in American Political and Economic Studies and the CÉRIUM organized an important conference to discuss whether the prevalence of conservatism in the United States was permanent or transitory. This one was entitled "Conservative predominance in the U.S. A Moment or an Era?".
