Bio/Research
Macdonald has published numerous articles in journals and edited collections on such issues as the role of non-governmental organizations in development, global civil society, citizenship struggles in Latin America, Canadian development assistance and the political impact of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). She has edited four books: The Politics of Violence in Latin America and the Caribbean; North American in Question: Regional Integration in an Era of Economic Turbulence; Contentious Politics in North America; and Post-Neoliberalism in the Americas: Beyond the Washington Consensus? She is co-author of Women, Democracy, and Globalization in North America: A Comparative Study, and author of Supporting Civil Society: The Political Impact of NGO Assistance to Central America. Her recent work looks at Canada’s role in Latin America, policies to reduce crime and violence in Mexico City, and transnational activism around human rights in North America.
Macdonald is also a regular media commentator on issues related to Latin American and North American political economy, and is a member of the McLeod Group (www.mcleodgroup.ca), a group of academics and development professionals working to advance Canadian policy and action in international cooperation and foreign affairs.
