Le mouvement canadien pour la paix
Sont comparées ici deux façons d'aborder la question du désarmement. L'une, modérée, est celle qui se manifeste le plus au Canada. À la longue, cependant, en mettant l'accent sur l'action parlementaire et en affirmant que la voie vers la paix doit être celle des négociations multilatérales entre États, elle va compromettre le mouvement pour le désarmement et agir à l'encontre de ses objectifs. L'autre façon par contre, radicale celle-là, privilég…
We Are Radical
This paper seeks to situate current efforts of The Right to the City Alliance and selected member groups in a longitudinal and cross-sectional qualitative study of the limits and potential of contemporary organizing. For three decades politicians, policy makers, advocates, academics, and even activists have promoted community-based efforts as the primary vehicle for contemporary social change. Local organizing has been seen as the best site and s…
Du système à l’acteur sujet
L’article présente l’évolution théorique et pratique d’un programme de recherche (1994-1999) sur le chômage de longue durée des travailleurs âgés. Partis d’une problématique de l’exclusion, les auteurs ont progressivement évolué vers une problématique de la réflexivité. Ils présentent ici les différentes perspectives d'analyse qui structurent le champ des rapports entre travail et vieillissement, pour situer ensuite l’évolution de leur démarche c…
Disciplining Dissent
In the context of neo-liberal globalization, we argue that many local community organizations and international development and advocacy NGOs share certain characteristics that impact struggles for justice, North and South. These include professionalization, collaboration with, and recognition and support from the state and/or international institutions, and a detachment from more critical forms of resistance. Drawing from experience and analysis…
Community Organizations and Local Governance in a Metropolitan Region
In a context of globalization, municipalities and metropolitan regions are involved in international competition to support economic growth. This leads to new forms of collaboration between public authorities and businesses, giving birth to new forms of urban and metropolitan governances. Moreover, many old neighborhoods of the central city and some districts of the old suburbs face growth in unemployment and poverty. In these local territories, …
Organizing for Immigrant Rights
Immigration to Canada has changed in basic ways the composition of the labor force. Over the past 40 years, a large wave of immigrants has arrived from the countries of the "Global South". Many have arrived with high levels of education and qualifications; however, the jobs they receive are at the bottom of the labor market. The Immigrant Workers Center (IWC) in Montreal is an organization that provides individual services, education on rights, a…
Le développement local dans un contexte métropolitain
Traditionnellement, le développement local en référence aux milieux urbains s’est avant tout défini à l’échelle des quartiers. Nous avançons ici l’hypothèse que, à la faveur de la mondialisation, les acteurs sociaux qui en ont fait la promotion dans le passé, en particulier les acteurs du milieu communautaire, devraient dorénavant se tourner vers l’espace métropolitain, car c’est à cette échelle que prennent place, de plus en plus, non seulement …
Neither Romance Nor Regulation
As the realm of the community has grown increasingly important in the contemporary political economy, the theoretical debates surrounding community have also grown in importance and volume. Too often this literature has been either celebratory or dismissive; either romanticizing the concept and thereby elevating it to primary rank as the focal point of societal initiatives, or objecting to its regulated limits and contradictions and thereby dismi…

Community Economic Development Organizations in Montreal
This chapter explores the dilemmas facing CED intermediary organizations as vehicles for progressive social change through an analysis of an urban Canadian model from Québec called corporations de développement économique communautaire (CDEC). CDECs are democratically controlled, not-for-profit, local development organizations that oversee and support CED efforts on three main levels: (1) job skills development and “employability” services; (2) b…
The New Urban Left
One of the hallmarks of late political modernity may be that grassroots groups and urban social movements are fixed in increasingly distal relations with left of center parties. We examine the history of these relations in the city of Montreal, where there has been an historic progression from left parties, with significant constituencies, to parties without local actors. The 1994 municipal election in Montreal is reviewed in this light. Our find…
