Book Synopsis Contemporary Federalist Thought in Quebec by : Antoine Brousseau Desaulniers
Download or read book Contemporary Federalist Thought in Quebec written by Antoine Brousseau Desaulniers and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2023-06-15 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quebec’s most recent attempts to assert its distinctiveness within Canada have relied on unilateral constitutional means to strengthen its French and secular character, suggesting that an important change of political culture has taken place in Quebec. With its diverse team of researchers, Contemporary Federalist Thought in Quebec considers the recent history of the debate that once threatened Canada with disjunction, exploring the federalist thought that continues to shape constitutional debate in Quebec. Examining historical perspectives from 1950 to the present day, the volume draws portraits of the key actors in the federalist movement – including political leaders, intellectuals, academics, activists, and spokespersons for pressure groups – comparing their various outlooks, interventions, and values, and examining the ties that bind these actors to the sense of nationalism that emerged during Quebec’s Quiet Revolution. Taking a multidisciplinary approach, Contemporary Federalist Thought in Quebec casts new light on the continuing debate surrounding Quebec’s place in Canada and gives nuance to what is traditionally conceived as a rigid opposition between sovereigntists and federalists in the province.
Book Synopsis Canadian Federalism and Quebec Sovereignty by : Christopher Edward Taucar
Download or read book Canadian Federalism and Quebec Sovereignty written by Christopher Edward Taucar and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2004-09 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this comprehensive book on Canadian federalism, the author thoroughly examines the Quebec sovereignty issue in order to determine whether or not reasonable and substantial grounds exist justifying Quebec sovereignty in the context of contemporary Canada. As a result, this book examines the successive layers that constitute Canadian federalism to unravel its nature, essence and the successes of its functioning, or the lack thereof, particularly with respect to Quebec. Ultimately, no matter how the federation is portrayed, if it has worked and continues to work well to achieve the most basic needs and interests of Quebecers, there leaves little if anything in support of secession. The fundamental success of the Canadian federation is the all-important lesson of this book.
Book Synopsis Contemporary Canadian Federalism by : Alain-G. Gagnon
Download or read book Contemporary Canadian Federalism written by Alain-G. Gagnon and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2009-06-06 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in French in 2006, Le fédéralisme canadien contemporain was immediately recognised as the most comprehensive collection of reflections on Canadian federalism by leading Québécois scholars. This remarkable translation of a range of Québécois voices makes their insightful and underrepresented perspectives available to English-language audiences. Offering alternative views of the Canadian federal model's realities by covering its foundations, traditions, and institutions, Contemporary Canadian Federalism considers the ways in which federalism relates to issues such as regionalism, multiculturalism, rights and freedoms, financial distribution, and public policy. Filled with stimulating work that bridges the gap between distinctive traditions in English- and French-Canadian scholarship on federalism, this important volume is required reading for understanding provincial-federal relations and Canadian governance.

Book Synopsis Reconciling the Solitudes by : Charles Taylor
Download or read book Reconciling the Solitudes written by Charles Taylor and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 1993-05-28 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taylor is one of the world's pre-eminent experts on Hegel and brings to his reflections on nationalism and federalism the fruits of a more universal philosophical discourse rooted in the Enlightenment and before. Its hallmarks are terms such as recognition, self-determination, atomism, and modernity. Notwithstanding his long involvement in philosophical reflections, Taylor has avoided the role of the disengaged intellectual, always remaining close to political action and debate in Canada. To his philosophical discourse, therefore, is added a sensitive knowledge of Quebec society from the vantage point of an English-speaking citizen with profound roots within it. Taylor suggests that it will be necessary to think in terms of deep diversity if Canada is to stay together in the twenty-first century. Eight of the essays, published between 1965 and 1992, are drawn from the Queen's Quarterly, edited scholarly books, a research study for the MacDonald Commission on Canada's Economic and Political Future, and an English translation of his submission to Quebec's Bélanger-Campeau Commission. The concluding paper was written specially for this volume.
Book Synopsis The Legitimacy Clash by : Alain-G Gagnon
Download or read book The Legitimacy Clash written by Alain-G Gagnon and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2022-12-01 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the coming decade, we may see the advent of multinational federalism on an international scale. As great powers and international organizations become increasingly uncomfortable with the creation of new states, multinational federalism is now an important avenue to explore, and in recent decades, the experiences of Canada and Quebec have had a key influence on the approaches taken to manage national and community diversity around the world. Drawing on comparative scholarship and several key case studies (including Scotland and the United Kingdom, Catalonia and Spain, and the Quebec-Canada dynamic, along with relations between Indigenous peoples and various levels of government), The Legitimacy Clash takes a fresh look at the relationship between majorities and minorities while exploring theoretical advances in both federal studies and contemporary nationalisms. Alain-G. Gagnon critically examines the prospects and potential for a multinational federal state, specifically for nations seeking affirmation in a hostile context. The Legitimacy Clash reflects on the importance of legitimacy over legality in assessing the conflicts of claims.

Book Synopsis Canadian Federalism and Its Future by : Alain-G. Gagnon
Download or read book Canadian Federalism and Its Future written by Alain-G. Gagnon and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2020-09-23 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The time is ripe to revisit Canada's past and redress its historical wrongs. Yet in our urgency to imagine roads to reconciliation with Indigenous peoples, it is important to keep in sight the many other forms of diversity that Canadian federalism has historically been designed to accommodate or could also reflect more effectively. Canadian Federalism and Its Future brings together international experts to assess four fundamental institutions: bicameralism, the judiciary as arbiter of the federal deal, the electoral system and party politics, and intergovernmental relations. The contributors use comparative and critical lenses to appraise the repercussions of these four dimensions of Canadian federalism on key actors, including member states, constitutive units, internal nations, Indigenous peoples, and linguistic minorities. Pursuing the work of The Constitutions That Shaped Us (2015) and The Quebec Conference of 1864 (2018), this third volume is a testimony to Canada's successes and failures in constitutional design. Reflecting on the cultural pluralism inherent in this country, Canadian Federalism and Its Future offers thought-provoking lessons for a world in search of concrete institutional solutions, within and beyond the traditional nation-state.
Book Synopsis Federalism, Citizenship and Quebec by : Alain G. Gagnon
Download or read book Federalism, Citizenship and Quebec written by Alain G. Gagnon and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2006-12-02 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Canadians often imagine their country as a multicultural democracy, while a few go further to claim that the country's diversity can be characterized as multinational in its social and institutional make-up. In Federalism, Citizenship, and Quebec, Alain-G. Gagnon and Raffaele Iacovino reveal how this notion has been falsely presented to the populace. Through comprehensive historical, contemporary, and critical accounts, they argue that the country has been the object of an aggressive nationalizing project that contravenes the principles of a 'multinational federation.' Gagnon and Iacovino defend a conception of diverse citizenship for Canada that is truly suitable to a durable and just constitutional association and provide an alternative path for the country based on normative, socio-political, and practical considerations associated with multinational democracy. Including a detailed account of the main challenges associated with Quebec's place in the federation, Federalism, Citizenship, and Quebec stands apart from other English-language studies on multinational democracy, citizenship, and federalism, and, most notably, multinational democracy in Canada. Gagnon and Iacovino ground their work in both history and theory, offering a truly interdisciplinary approach that will appeal to scholars from fields as diverse as Canadian and Quebec politics, comparative politics, and political and legal theory. The book will contribute to awareness of the need for appreciating diversity in contemporary societies while being a useful addition to English Canadian students in these fields, who often lack exposure to many of the rich debates proceeding in Quebec.
Book Synopsis Federalism-In-The-Making by : McWhinney
Download or read book Federalism-In-The-Making written by McWhinney and published by Martinus Nijhoff Publishers. This book was released on 2023-09-20 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The long-continuing constitutional debate, within Canada has brought a search today for new constitutional-governmental models of paradigms capable of taking us all safely into the twenty-first century. For students of Contemporary Constitutionalism, no country's experience has been more seriously studied than that of the West German federal state formed out of the three Western zones of Germany in 1949 and endowed with what was then described as a temporary governmental charter, pending final reunification of Germany. This volume is the result of a special bilateral Canadian-German conference organised by the Simon Fraser University and the Goethe-Institut of Vancouver in 1991 on the theme `The Challenge of Contemporary Constitutionalism: Canadian and German Federalism-in-the-Making'. The essays it contains, from many distinguished judges and professors from both countries, form a unique contribution both to scientific knowledge in Constitutionalism and to current ventures in Constitution-making and drafting in a number of countries -- Western and Eastern Europe, North America -- around the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last seventy years, Quebec has changed from a society dominated by the social edicts of the Catholic Church and the economic interests of anglophone business leaders to a more secular culture that frequently elects separatist political parties and has developed the most comprehensive welfare state in North America. In Contemporary Quebec, leading scholars raise provocative questions about the ways in which Quebec has been transformed since the Second World War and offer competing interpretations of the reasons for the province's quiet and radical revolutions.
