Globalization, Telecommunication, and Virtual Ethnic Communities
Ethnic communities have been constructed over time, and they may evolve in the future. This article describes and assesses technological developments which may serve as the framework for new ethnic communities, for strengthening existing ethnic communities, or for a new type which the author calls a “virtual ethnic community.” The key to these uses of telecommunications technology lies in recognizing that mass media are being replaced by targeted…
Facing Our Destiny
The Canadian Constitution contains several distinctive rights not found in the United States Constitution. Indeed, the collective and community-based rights Canadians take for granted are inimical to American liberal traditions. Negative rights or interpretive provisions, such as thenon obstanteclause, are unique to Canada among Western democracies. The author argues that these rights derive from the country's historical concerns with religious a…
Two Political Worlds
The Impact of Fiscal Limitation
In the latter 1970s, scholarly attention was drawn to the as fiscal limitation measures were adopted in a variety of states. By 1983, twenty states had adopted such limitations on either state revenue or expenditures, and many others had imposed new fiscal limits on local government. ' Much of the initial research on the fiscal limitation movement focused on interpretations of voter intentions and the roots of this movement.2 Even as controversy …
Two Political Worlds
British Columbia has long been a source of fascination to political observers. Canadian socialism sank its earliest and deepest roots there, and it is one of only three provinces where the New Democratic Party has formed the government. It is one of only two provinces where Social Credit has governed and the only one in which the party still commands significant support. Provincial peculiarities have affected federal politics too -- British Colum…

A Cause in Search of Its Effect, or What Does Political Culture Explain
The American Science of Indian Politics
Party Identification
Concepts are like wines; some do not travel well. Thus, a frequent problem concerns whether phenomena with the same label in two societies are really the same. Party identification is a concept which is particularly interesting in this regard. The effect of party identification on voting decisions has been examined in more than a dozen countries, and the data have evoked controversy about the concept's utility, especially in Canada. Although this…
Electoral Participation in a South Indian Context
Voting Research in Canada
The volume and variety of published works on voting in Canada suggest to us it is time to take stock of where we have been and where we should go. It is our belief that developments have not matched the rosy prognosis implicit in Donald Smiley's 1967 statement that “undoubtedly the most extensive developments in Canadian political science in the past two decades have been in the field of studies of voting behaviour and political parties.” To be s…
Regional Political Cultures in Canada
Les cultures politiques régionales au CanadaDans le contexte canadien, le concept de « régionalisme » s'entend de bien des façons. La présente étude explore des dimensions peu connues de ce phénomène. Des données tirées de sondages effectués en 1965 et 1968 par John Meisel, il ressort d'importantes différences entre les électorats provinciaux concernant la participation, l'efficacité et la confiance politiques. Ces données, une fois transposées s…
The Perceived Structure of the Canadian Party Systems
La perception ordonnée de l'idéologie des partis politiques canadiensLa plupart des chercheurs acceptent comme évident l'énoncé selon lequel les partis politiques canadiens peuvent être ordonnés selon le critère droite-gauche : lendpétant perçu comme étant à gauche, le Parti libéral au centre, le Parti progressisteconservateur à droite et le Crédit social à l'extrême droite. La présente étude a pour objet de vérifier la véracité de certaines prop…
The Measurement of Party Competition
Most measures of party competition were designed for the United States or other two-party systems. The measure proposed here is intended for multiparty as well as two-party systems. It is a formalization of the notion of uncertainty: election outcomes are competitive to the degree we are uncertain who will win. By ascertaining through survey research the degree of party loyalty over time, one can calculate the chances of alternative outcomes in h…
Social Mobilization and Political Development in South India
I T MAY BE TAKEN for granted that social organization and traditions influence to some degree the process of political development, and that at least some political changes cause changes in social relations. In order that industrialization, literacy, and urbanization should result in the same sort of government in all countries, as seems to have been assumed by some scholars,1 it is obvious that forms of organization tending in other directions m…
Regional Contexts of Political Participation
Il y a deux façons de rendre compte des différences dans la participation politique entre deux régions. La première se fonde sur les relations bien connues entre les caractéristiques individuelles et l'activité politique. Par exemple, la scolarisation est reliée de façon positive à plusieurs formes d'activité politique. Si la région dont le taux de participation est le plus élevé compte la plus forte proportion d'individus qui possèdent la caract…
