Putin’s Totalitarian Dreams
Since returning to the presidency in 2012, Vladimir Putin has sought to transform Russia’s political system from performance-based authoritarianism toward a more ideologically driven, quasi-totalitarian model. Drawing on Slavophile traditions, the regime frames its confrontation with the West as a civilizational struggle requiring sacrifice and national unity.
The Moral Dilemmas of Fighting Terrorism and Guerrilla Groups
The Moral Dilemmas of Fighting Terrorism and Guerrilla Groups discusses the most important ethical dilemmas associated with the fight against terrorist organizations and guerilla groups by providing readers with a rigorous, yet accessible analysis of how these forms of violence can be justified and how they ought to be fought by entities targeted by groups resorting to these strategies. It will be valuable to anyone interested in understanding th…
Violent Alternatives to War: Justifying Actions Against Contemporary Terrorism
When we take a look back at the way Western states have fought terrorist organizations in the last 20 years, it is difficult not to think that these alternatives to war might have been more ethical than the decisions to invade Afghanistan and Iraq in 2001 and in 2003. These cases speak for themselves as they have both led to the death of hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians, which is highly paradoxical in light of the logic that supported …

Un témoignage: Loos-en-Gohelle, une cité minière au défi de la résilience
Loos-en-Gohelle est un exemple typique des communes qui ont grandi au dix-neuvième siècle dans le Nord de la France grâce à l'exploitation charbonnière. Celle-ci a profondément transformé cet ancien village, s'accompagnant d'une forte poussée démographique et bouleversant le paysage qui a été en particulier marqué par la mise en place d'immenses terrils. Lorsque les mines cessent leur activité, la commune et ses habitants traversent une période d…
Disobedience in the Military: Legal and Ethical Implications
Contemporary Technologies and the Morality of Warfare
Moral wrongdoers: Evaluating the Value of Moral Actions Performed by War Criminals
This text explores the value of moral acts performed by war criminals, and the extent to which they should alleviate the punishment these individuals ought to receive for violating the rules of war. Without neglecting the necessity of retribution in war crimes cases, it argues from an ethical perspective that we should not rule out the possibility of considering lesser punishments for war criminals who decide to perform a moral act, as it might p…
Exploring the extent of ethical disobedience through the lens of the Srebrenica and Rwanda genocides: Can Soldiers Disobey Lawful Orders
Although obligation in the military world implies a strict duty to obey the orders that are given, this obligation is conditional on the lawfulness of these orders. In other words, soldiers have the moral duty to disobey orders that would lead them to commit unlawful actions. Therefore, ethical disobedience is an important feature of the armed forces and cannot be ignored. This text contemplates an extended version of this logic by considering wh…
La déclaration de souveraineté de la nation atikamekw: Les Méandres De l'Octroi d'Un Titre Aborigène
The recent decision of the Canadian Supreme Court which led to the recognition of an Aboriginal title for the Tsilhqot'in nation in British Columbia has created a shock wave in the field of Aboriginal law which cannot yet be fully appreciated. The unilateral declaration of sovereignty of the Atikamekw nation in September 2014 concerning what they consider as their ancestral land is certainly one of its major consequences. Based on the Tsilhqot'in…
Rethinking the Sense of Belonging of Ethnocultural Minorities through Reasonable Accommodations in a Liberal Perspective
A version of liberalism sees the accommodation of cultural and religious beliefs of minority ethnocultural groups as a norm of justice. However, such a policy is said to contribute to a fear of social fragmentation and the dissolution of what is at the heart of the community's collective identity. This paper addresses this problem by showing from a theoretical perspective that the granting of accommodations to minority groups can be constructive …
The Exclusive Nature of Quebec’s Contemporary Nationalism: The Pitfalls of Civic Nationalism
With reason, Quebec contemporary nationalism can be defined as a form of civic nationalism. This type of collective identification can be defined as being inclusive for every citizen notwithstanding their ethno-cultural origins. However, the Quebec case tends to illustrate that the discourse surrounding civic nationalism can be as exclusive as ethnic nationalism. This is largely due to the fact that Quebecers’ collective identity is defined aroun…
Understanding and interpreting France's national identity: The meanings of being French
France has recently held a national debate on the nature of its national identity. This grassroot process has lead thousands of French citizens to define in their own terms what it means to be French. Based upon these contributions, this article proposes a typology of the different meanings of being French and looks to throw light on these conceptions of citizenship, in explaining their respective origins and premises, but also in showing their p…

Rooted Cosmopolitanism in Canada and Quebec
Rooted cosmopolitanism lies in the idea that the flourishing and development of moral finalities of humankind depend largely on a national culture that must universalize itself on the rest of the world. Canada and Quebec national identities are strongly influenced by this idea and they both pretend that their way of dealing with ethnocultural pluralism are examples that the rest of the world should copy. By looking at the works of various Canadia…

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…

L’héritage républicain du fédéralisme: Une théorie de l’identité nationale dans les fédérations multinationales
L’évaluation du fédéralisme à la lumière des aspects qui ont mené à la création de la fédération américaine permet de situer ce système politique dans la tradition républicaine de la liberté. Par une historiographie des idées qui ont précédé la révolution américaine et l’établissement du pacte fédéral de 1789, ce texte vise à démontrer en quoi l’idée moderne du fédéralisme est d’abord et avant tout un système politique dont l’objectif consiste à …
