This is an international conference to be held at the UCL Institute of the Americas that aims to revaluate the political career of William Lyon Mackenzie King - Canada's longest serving Prime Minister (1921-1926, 1926-1930, 1935-1948). Mackenzie King occupied the position of Prime Minister for 22 years in all during a period that witnessed the great depression, the Second World War and the onset of the Cold War. He led the Liberal party to a succession of election victories and was in many ways the most successful politician in Canadian history.
