Constitutional Politics in Multinational Democracies
The Quebec Conference of 1864: Understanding the Emergence of the Canadian Federation
Jean-Charles Bonenfant et l’esprit des institutions
Publiciste érudit, pédagogue accompli, Jean-Charles Bonenfant a influencé la manière dont on réfléchit les institutions politiques au Québec. Ses travaux font, en quelque sorte, office de trait d’union entre deux époques : celle qui a été marquée par les mandats de Maurice Duplessis comme premier ministre et celle de la Révolution tranquille. \n \nDans les coulisses de l’Assemblée nationale, comme directeur de la Bibliothèque, Jean-Charles Bonenf…

Uncovering National Nexus's Representations: The Case of Québec
This article proposes a critical analysis of the historical and ideological process that has led to the recently‐defunct Parti québécois' (PQ) Charte de la laïcité . It shows that this legislative project, as an attempt to renew Québec's nationalism, amplified the struggles and tensions that characterize the normative source of the national nexus. More specifically, this article reveals that two carrier groups – the liberal‐pluralists, on the one…
The Constitutions that Shaped Us: A Historical Anthology of Pre-1867 Canadian Constitutions
Interpreting Quebec’s Exile Within the Federation: Selected Political Essays
This book combines the approaches of political theory and of intellectual history to provide a lucid account of Québec’s contemporary situation within the Canadian federation. Guy Laforest considers that the province of Québec, and its inhabitants, are exiled within Canada. They are not fully integrated, politically and constitutionally, nor are they leaving the federation, for now and for the foreseeable future. They are in between these two pre…
Constitutions That Shaped Us: A Historical Anthology of Pre-1867 Canadian Constitutions
Traditions religieuses et modèles d’éducation à la citoyenneté: L’héritage d’un univers normatif
Cet article analyse les liens significatifs entre les curriculums d’éducation à la citoyenneté de la France, de l’Angleterre et du Québec, ainsi que leurs traditions religieuses respectives, lesquelles découlent toutes du noyau central et commun d’appartenance qu’est le christianisme. Plus précisément, en partant du postulat selon lequel le fait religieux, en tant qu’héritage socioculturel, imprègne de manière profonde et durable les sociétés con…
Présentation
Présentation Guy Laforest (bio) and Simon Langlois (bio) Les sociétés développées sont de plus en plus pluriculturelles dans les faits, qu’elles s’inspirent ou non du multiculturalisme ou de l’interculturalisme dans l’élaboration de leurs politiques publiques. Comment dès lors concilier les exigences du « vouloir vivre ensemble » et de la poursuite du bien commun, ainsi que celles de la nécessaire neutralité de l’État dans ses politiques vis-à-vi…
Canada and Multinational Federalism: From the Spirit of 1982 to Stephen Harper's Open Federalism
Since the end of the Second World War, principles of diversity and multiculturalism have increasingly been codified in international law. The present article takes a closer look at the evolution of Canada's attitude towards the recognition of its multinational character over the past 25 years. The article shows that the more recent idea of “open federalism” put forward by Prime Minister Stephen Harper's government as a recognition of multinationa…
Les frontières de l'identité. Modernité et postmodernité, au Québec
Trudeau and the End of a Canadian Dream
In Trudeau and the End of a Canadian Dream Guy Laforest argues that Trudeau's constitutional reforms destroyed the dualistic vision of the Canadian federation developed in Quebec throughout the twentieth century
Philosophy in an Age of Pluralism: The Philosophy of Charles Taylor in Question
This is the first comprehensive evaluation of Charles Taylor's work and a major contribution to leading questions in philosophy and the human sciences as they face an increasingly pluralistic age. Charles Taylor is one of the most influential contemporary moral and political philosophers: in an era of specialisation he is one of the few thinkers who has developed a comprehensive philosophy which speaks to the conditions of the modern world in a w…
Pierre Trudeau, le nationalisme et la crise canado-québecoise
Il y a un peu plus de vingt-cinq ans, au beau milieu d'une tempête politique, monsieur Pierre Elliott Trudeau, l'ex-Prcmier Ministre du Canada, lançait un livre qui demeure l'ouvrage le plus important dans la vie politique et intellectuelle de ce pays au vingtième siècle. Paru quelques mois après le célèbre «Vive le Québec libre» du général de Gaulle dans son discours de Montréal, le livre de monsieur Trudeau précéda de peu le manifeste de René L…
The Future of Federalism: Lessons from Canada and Quebec
Reconciling the Solitudes: Essays on Canadian Federalism and Nationalism
In this collection of essays the distinguished and internationally renowned philosopher Charles Taylor examines federalism and nationalism in Canada, emphasising issues surrounding the Canada/Quebec question in the last twenty-five years. He analyses the singularity of Quebec within the larger Canadian mosaic, providing a reasoned defence for the recognition of Quebec's distinctiveness within a reformed federal system
The liberal understanding of nationalism: The need for a more prudent approach
Québec's Distinct Society and the Sense of Nationhood in Canada
La defaite de l'Accord du lac Meech annonce la mort du federalisme traditionnel, selon les auteurs de cet article. Une nouvelle entente entre le Canada et le Quebec ne peut etre forgee a l'heure actuelle que si chacune des deux parties reconnait le besoin d'autonomie et le nationalisme legitime de l'autre
Letter from the Other Canada
LESS THAN TWO YEARS AGO, THE READERS OFGovernment and Oppositionhad reasons to be moderately optimistic concerning the future of our country. If their judgment was based on George Feaver's ‘Letter from Canada’, it appeared prudent to conclude that it was no small achievement for Canada to have persisted as a state in the face of tremendous adversity. These readers may have also trusted some distinguished experts on Canadian history and politics. …

Fichte'sRedenas a Model: Léon Dion's Addresses to the Quebec Nation
Léon Dion is a pioneer of political science in Quebec and Canada. For over 25 years he has advocated a series of reforms of the Canadian federal system, striking a balance between his commitment to Quebec nationalism and his loyalty to Canada. This article analyzes Léon Dion's use of German thought in his latest book, underlying his effort to thwart the apathy and moroseness descending upon Quebec politics in the post-referendum era. A parallel w…
Gouverne et liberté: Foucault et la question du pouvoir
The analysis of the modalities of the governing of conduct, in an individualizing and totalizing modern political rationality, along with the conception of spaces of freedom for concrete human subjects in this environment, are two great preoccupations of Michel Foucault's last works. This article provides an account of the actualization by Foucault of his thought on power which explains the various factors, from problems of historical interpretat…

Regards généalogiques sur la modernité: Michel Foucault et la philosophie politique
This article aims to illustrate the relevance of Michel Foucault's thought for contemporary political reflection. Once beyond the archaeological dead-end, Foucault's project has taken the shape of genealogical analyses of a number of elements of modernity: the tendency towards homogenization, the emergence of a complex of bio-power and the constitution of human beings as subjects and objects. This enterprise makes it possible to conceive of the a…

Droit, pouvoir et sciences humaines dans la pensée de Michel Foucault
Michel Foucault a été l'un des grands penseurs français du vingtième siècle, l'un des maîtres du soupçon à propos de notre civilisation. Ceux qui oeuvrent dans les domaines du droit et des sciences humaines sont conviés par lui à réfléchir sur la généalogie de leur champ respectif d'activité. En particulier, Foucault a remis en question l'aptitude du principal modèle juridique, celui de la souveraineté, à rendre compte du champ des relations de p…

Herméneutique et Études Latino-Americaines
En philosophie des sciences sociales, le dernier quart-de-siècle a été profondément marqué par un renouveau des approches qualitatives, notamment celles influencées par l'herméneutique. Cet article propose une analyse critique de cette évolution pour les études latino-américaines dans le domaine de la science politique aux Etats-Unis. Après avoir identifié les principaux aspects théoriques, historiques et aporétiques du scientisme néo-évolutionni…
