*North America 2.0: Forging a Continental Future*, which I've co-edited with Alan Bersin, has just been released by @CanadaInstitute and @MexicoInstitute at the Wilson Center.
What should the agenda be for North American regional cooperation, esp looking to the NA Leaders Summit?
The volume includes contributions from authors with experience in government, think tanks, business, civil society, and academia in Canada, Mexico, the USA and beyond.
We will also be holding a launch event in Washington on November 9, in person at Wilson, with a recording available later. RSVP here: wilsoncenter.org/event/north-am…

The short version: Rejection of US intervention and abhorrence of Trump should not lead us to overlook the overwhelming role of Maduro's government in provoking and continuing this crisis. Nor to distort the fact or disqualify opposition to Maduro.
I would also oppose US military intervention or coup-mongering. I don't doubt the good intentions of most of my academic colleagues who have signed it. But this letter is not the way to do it.
