Constitutional Contract and Discourse Ethics
In the first volume of this Journal, Vanberg and Buchanan attempted to integrate contractarian and discourse models of agreement. Their interpretation of discourse ethics is inconsistent with the theory as presented by Jürgen Habermas.

The possibility of a successful synthesis depends on blending aspects of strategic and communicative action. Appeal…
A Discourse-Theoretic Approach to Aboriginal Rights
A series of recent papers explore aboriginal rights from constitutional contractarian and discourse-theoretic perspectives (Avio 1994a, 1994b, 1995b). The first perspective is based on the work of James Buchanan. The second draws heavily on the lesser known (to economists) Kantianinfluenced moral and social philosophy of Jurgen Habermas (e.g. Habermas 1990, 1993).l The two theories point to similar conclusions with respect to aboriginal property …
Aboriginal Property Rights in Canada
This paper attempts to sketch a coherent economic account of aboriginal property rights as implied in Sparrow. The qualitative characteristics of such rights are discussed and evaluated from the contractarian perspective of James Buchanan. Inalienability is examined in the context of an aboriginal right to fish. The public-good nature of cultural identity and the corresponding free-rider problem are seen to rationalise the proscription of a comme…

Cette etude analyse les d6cisions de clemence, portant sur des cas de meurtriers, prises par le Cabinet Federal Canadien au cours de la pdriode 1926 a 1957. En l'absence de jusitifications formelles des decisions individuelles, une analyse statistique probit/logit des donn6es d'archives est utilisee afin de d6couvrir la logique du Cabinet. Les resultats principaux sont: (1) les decisions de clemence du Cabinet ne sont pas generees par un processu…
