Canada's Odyssey
Ireland and Quebec
Principles and Gerrymanders
Decline and prospects of the English-speaking communities of Quebec
Building Nations from Diversity
Building Nations from Diversity explores the question of whether the Canadian "mosaic" has differed from the American "melting pot" and provides an informative comparison of both countries' historical and present-day similarities and differences. Garth Stevenson examines the origins of Canada and the United States and their past experiences with incorporating selected immigrant groups, particularly Irish, Chinese, and Jews. Establishing the found…
The Shifting Foundations of Modern Nation-States
The Shifting Foundations of Modern Nation-States, Sima Godfrey and Frank Unger, eds., Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 2004, pp. xi, 164.The collapse of communism, the end of the cold war, and the seeming inevitability of what is euphemistically termed globalization have shifted the parameters of political discourse away from the traditional issues of economics and class or, as Harold Lasswell succinctly put it almost seven decades ago, who …
The Politics of Remembrance in Irish and Quebec Nationalism
This article describes how the remembrance of historical events contributes to, and is shaped by, nationalism in Ireland and Quebec. Remembered historical events contribute to the growth of nationalism if they serve at least one of five purposes: defining the conceptual boundaries of the nation, reinforcing a sense of pride in the nation's achievements, evoking feelings of pity and indignation at the losses suffered by the nation, legitimizing th…
Straight Talk on Canadian Unity
So begins this collection of Stephane Dion's speeches from 1996 to 1998. Organized around four central themes, Straight Talk shows the breadth and strength of Dion's convictions. Dion believes that Canada is first and foremost a nation of caring people, in contrast to the image projected by the endless, dry constitutional debate. He argues that the melding of diversity and unity that is the basis of this nation is possible only because of the par…
Community Besieged
In Community Besieged Garth Stevenson describes the unusual circumstances that allowed English-speaking Quebecers to live in virtual isolation from their francophone neighbours for almost a century after Confederation. He describes their relations with Maurice Duplessis and the Union Nationale and their ambivalent response to the Quiet Revolution. New political issues - language policy, educational reform, sovereignty, and the constitution - unde…
Community Besieged
Until the Quiet Revolution of the 1960s English-speaking Quebecers seldom thought of themselves as a minority and the Quebec government had little influence on their lives. Over the last generation their situation has been totally transformed, as Quebec governments have sought to promote the French language, to reform education and social policy, and to influence the Quebec economy. Quebec's dissatisfaction with its status in Confederation and th…
Ex Uno Plures
Beginning with brief accounts of the origins of Confederation and the economic, social, and political characteristics of late nineteenth-century Canada, Stevenson recounts the major issues that occupied the intergovernmental agenda. Liquor regulation in Ontario, land reform in Prince Edward Island, reluctant acceptance of Confederation in Nova Scotia, chronic financial problems in Quebec, controversy over Catholic schools in New Brunswick, and th…

Canadian Mineral Policy Past and Present
The Australian Party System
Federalism and the Organization of Political Life
The Political Economy Tradition and Canadian Federalism
Almost a century after Goldwin Smith posed Canadianquestion whether Canada could remain both united and distinct from the United States his question remains unanswered. Talk of annexation to the United States may have abated slightly since Smith's day but the other half of the conundrum, the fragility of Canadian federalism and political unity, seems destined to remain indefinitely a subject of preoccupation
Australian Democracy in Crisis. A Radical Approach to Australian Politics
Political Constraints and the Province-Building Objective
The terms of the British North America Act of 1867 provide little indication of the role that has been assumed in practice by Canadian provincial governments. Section 92 of the Act, and the fragmentary records that survive from the conferences that drafted the terms of Confederation, suggest the limited, although not unimportant, role that was envisaged for them, a role mainly concerned with the regulation of private, family and social relationsh…
Politics Between Departments
The Australian National Elections of 1977
Politics and Policy in Australia
The Language Crisis
This is a brief response to the two articles by Charles Castonguay and Roderic P. Beaujot which appeared in the Winter 197 9 issue. Although readers may be growing weary of linguistic problems and policies, a topic on which this journal has published five articles in less than a year, I hope they will bear with me for one more comment. My reason for asking them to do so arises from the fact that the Castonguay and Beaujot articles are almost iden…

Foreign Direct Investment and the Provinces
Les attitudes des élites provinciales face aux investissements étrangers directsLes politiques fédérates à l'égard des investissements étrangers au Canada ont d'importantes implications pour les relations fédérales-provinciales. Ainsi, il a souvent été suggéré que l'hostilité des gouvernements provinciaux constituait un sérieux obstacle à la volonté du gouvernement fédérate de mettre en œuvre une politique de nationalisme économique en cette mati…
