Avanimiut: A History of Inuit Independence in Northern Labrador . Carol Brice-Bennett, revised by Lena Onalik and Andrea Procter
“We, The Inuit of Labrador”: Balancing Inuit and Western Traditions in the Nunatsiavut Constitution
Canada’s Indigenous peoples have slowly been reclaiming control over their lands and lives. As a wide range of institutions emerges, designed to enhance Indigenous peoples’ ability to govern themselves according to their own principles and priorities, academic attention is shifting from normative arguments about the need for self-government to the study of actual institutions. This article examines the constitution of the Nunatsiavut Government, …

Open Access and Academic Journals in Canada: A Political Science Perspective
The push to implement Open Access (OA) as the new standard for academic research dissemination is creating very real pressures on academic journals. In Canada, the Social Science and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) recently adopted a policy requiring that journals applying for its Aid to Scholarly Journals (ASJ) grant make their scholarly content freely accessible after no more than a 12-month delay. For journals such as the Canadian Journal …
Too Many People: Contact, Disorder, Change in an Inuit Society, 1822–2015, by Willem Rasing
Some Issues in the Sraffian View of Competition: Starting from Clifton
The article seeks to advance discussion about the nature of competition and of the ‘firm’ consistent with a classical-Sraffian perspective on relative prices and distribution. Discussion focuses primarily on the work of James Clifton published from the late 1970's. Clifton's insights have a direct bearing on issues at the heart of broader Sraffian research: how relative prices are anchored by the mobility of capital; whether the rate of profit sh…
Issues of independence in Northern Aboriginal‐state co‐management boards
A unique set of governance institutions has recently emerged in Canada’s territorial North under finalized comprehensive land claims agreements: Aboriginal‐state co‐management boards for land‐use planning, environmental regulation and wildlife management. Public administration scholars have paid little attention to these boards and the issues – practical and theoretical – that arise with them. Board members are required to act “in the public inte…

The Journal/Revue at 50
For institutions as well as for people, turning 50 invites reflection on what's gone before and what's to come. This special 50th anniversary issue looks at Canadian political science and the profession—past and present—from a number of perspectives and explores ways in which they might or should change
Continuity and Change: Fifty Years of the Journal/Revue
This article surveys the first five decades of the Journal/Revue, with particular emphasis on patterns of change and continuity. The article presents a quantitative analysis of the articles published in the Journal/Revue, looking at, among other things, the balance of articles published in English and in French, the proportion of articles authored by women, the location and institutional affiliation of authors and the subject matter of published …
Notions of Information: Remarks on Fresco’s Paper
Clean energy policy: Taxing carbon and the illusion of the equity objective
Competition, Welfare and Macroeconomics: A Classical/Sraffian Perspective
The paper reflects on two phenomena seen by orthodoxy as key defining characteristics of imperfect competition: product differentiation and restricted mobility of resources. Product differentiation is first considered in terms of its significance within a Sraffian price model. This in turn allows one to consider the ‘welfare’ effects—considered here in terms of the impact on output per worker—of a degree of monopoly power, to the extent this is c…
Disorderly Houses: Residences, Privacy, and the Surveillance of Sexuality in 1920s Harlem
“W h i t e o n l o o k e r s . . . m u s t b e made to remember that Harlem is not merely exotic, it is human,” W. e. B. Du Bois wrote in the National Association for Coloured People’s magazine the Crisis in 1927. “It is not a spectacle and an entertainment, it is life; it is not chiefly cabarets, it is chiefly home.” In admonishing whites, Du Bois was assuming that homes presented a picture of black Americans different from that of public perfor…

Go North, Young Scholar, Go North: Presidential Address to the Canadian Political Science Association, Waterloo, May 17, 2011
The North—defined as the Canadian Arctic—ranks among the most understudied and yet the most promising fields of enquiry for Canadian political scientists. It offers a host of fascinating research topics and intellectual puzzles, many of which entail the often fraught relationship between the Canadian state and Aboriginal peoples. Important conceptual issues await academics studying northern politics and governance. As well, political scientists' …
Playing the Numbers: Gambling in Harlem between the Wars
The phrase “Harlem in the 1920s” evokes images of the Harlem Renaissance, or of Marcus Garvey and soapbox orators haranguing crowds about politics and race. Yet the most ubiquitous feature of Harlem life between the world wars was the game of “numbers.” Thousands of wagers, usually of a dime or less, would be placed on a daily number derived from U.S. bank statistics. The rewards of “hitting the number,” a 600-to-1 payoff, tempted the ordinary me…
After the Ice: Life, Death and Geopolitics in the New Arctic, by Alun Anderson
Investigating the Truths: Inquiries, Conspiracies and Implied Performances in the Public Record
The focus in courtrooms or tribunal chambers on live witness evidence-giving is examined in literature dealing with the residue of legal encounters as a space of potential instability for the process of establishing narrative authority (Auslander 1999; Lynch and Bogen 1996; TDR 2008). These accounts focus on the self-conscious ‘play’ of witness performance — self-presentation, demeanour and verbal and physical fluency as the site of a particular,…
"Not the Almighty": Evaluating Aboriginal Influence in Northern Land-Claim Boards
The settling of comprehensive land claims across Canada’s territorial North has brought about substantial changes in governance. Prominent among these has been the establishment of numerous regulatory and co-management boards dealing with land, wildlife, and environmental issues. These boards were explicitly designed to bring significant aboriginal influence to bear in key land and wildlife decisions. To examine whether the boards have enhanced a…
Cultures in Collision: Traditional Knowledge and Euro-Canadian Governance Processes in Northern Land-Claim Boards
This paper analyzes how traditional knowledge (TK) is used by two of the co-management and regulatory boards established under the comprehensive land-claim agreements in Canada’s territorial North: the Nunavut Wildlife Management Board (NWMB) and the Mackenzie Valley Environmental Impact Review Board (MVEIRB). A comparison of the defining characteristics of Western “Weberian” bureaucracy, which sets the framework within which these and other boar…

In this well-crafted study, Christa Scholtz sets herself a simple but important question: “Why do [settler-society] governments choose to negotiate [Aborignal] land claims rather than resolve claims through some other means?” (2). Through cl…

Shorter measures: The changing ministerial career in Canada
Characteristics of ministerial careers ‐ the length of time cabinet ministers hold office, the number and type of portfolios they hold, ministers' pre‐cabinet political experience, the circumstances of their leaving cabinet, and the like ‐ constitute an important but understudied aspect of Canadian cabinets. This article examines career patterns among the 1,375 individuals who held ministerial office in the ten provinces between the mid‐1940s and…
Traditional aboriginal values in a Westminster parliament: The legislative assembly of Nunavut
This article examines the interplay of structure and culture in the Legislative Assembly of the newly established territory of Nunavut in Canada's eastern Arctic. This institution combines the Westminster cabinet-parliamentary system with traditional Inuit culture, many features of which are antithetical to British-style 'responsible government'. The distinctive 'consensus government' system which characterises the Nunavut Legislative Assembly ha…
Westminster in the Arctic: The Adaptation of British Parliamentarism in the Northwest Territories
Government in the Northwest Territories (NWT) of Canada is structured on the cabinet-parliamentary model and follows most of the principles of British-style “responsible government.” The territorial assembly, however, differs in two fundamental ways from the traditional parliamentary model: it has no political parties, and a majority of its members are natives, whose political culture is far removed from the tenets underlying British parliamentar…

One-Party Dominance and Third Parties: The Pinard Theory Reconsidered
Afin d'expliquer la croissance des tiers partis au Canada, Maurice Pinard a élaboré une théorie basée sur la notion des « tendances structurales » (structural conduciveness) telle qu'énoncée par Smelser. La théorie soutient que, dans les périodes de tensions sociales, les tiers partis auront tendance à croître dans les systèmes dont la structure est marquée par la prédominance d'un parti. De plus, Pinard suggère qu'une théorie des tiers partis ce…

Big is different from little: On taking size seriously in the analysis of Canadian governmental institutions
An institution's size is one of its most obvious and important features. This paper suggests that although analysts and practitioners are certainly aware that scale does matter, the consequences of size for comparative analysis of Canadian governmental institutions have been seriously under‐appreciated. To be sure, size is only one of a host of factors shaping our political institutions, but this should not discount its importance, which is both …

Disequilibrium Pricing and the Sraffa—Keynes Synthesis
Research over the last 10 to 15 years on the possibility of a Sraffa—Keynes synthesis has, in part, been concerned with clarifying the concept of a normal rate of capacity utilization, as well as its role in price determination and its interdependence with relative prices. This paper examines some of the key implications of the interdependence between the normal rate of capacity utilization and relative prices for disequilibrium pricing, specific…

Since the era of reform triggered by the Committee on Government Productivity during the early 1970s, there has been surprisingly little writing about public service reform in Ontario. This article surveys developments since the early 1980s, reviewing the changes that occurred during the Davis, Peterson, and Rae governments pertaining to the structure and integrity of the public service, human resource development, relocation, accountability regi…
Structure and culture in a non‐partisan Westminster parliament: Canada's northwest territories
For legislatures which have not developed out of indigenous political culture, it is important to understand the interplay of structure and culture. This paper examines the influence of structural arrangements and of cultural context on the attitudes and perceptions of members of the legislature in Canada's Northwest Territories (NWT). This institution is marked by a notable lack of congruence between its British cabinet‐parliamentary structure a…

FDR and the Press
Franklin D. Roosevelt's tempestuous, adversary relationship with the American press is celebrated in the literature of his administrations. Historians have documented the skill and virtuosity that he displayed in his handling and exploitation of the press. Graham J. White discovers the well of Roosevelt's excessive ardor: an intractable political philosophy that pitted him against a fierce (though imaginary) enemy, the written press. White challe…
