Accommodating national differences within multinational states
Meurtre de nouveau-né
Retour sur le néonaticide
Pour l’auteur, le meurtre d’un nouveau-né constitue une entité distincte des autres cas de filicides, s’en différenciant quant au diagnostic, aux mobiles et au traitement juridique du meurtrier. Alors que la plupart des filicides sont commis pour des raisons « altruistes », les néonaticides sont en majorité effectués simplement parce que l’enfant n’est pas désiré. L’auteur évoque les différentes caractéristiques psychologiques des mères ayant com…
Hubris and melancholy in multinational states
The article sets out to explore the rather different roles that hubris and melancholy can play in the relations between majority and minority nationalities within multinational states. In the case of majority‐type nationalities, there is a sense of being a Staatsvolk, a feeling reinforced by linguistic, cultural, geographical, and political characteristics associated with the larger nation‐state. There may also be a sense of pride caught up with …

The Politics of Resentment
Since the Quiet Revolution of the 1960s, the question of Quebec’s status within Confederation has held centre stage in the Canadian unity debate. Comparatively little has been written about British Columbia, a province that for so long has seen itself on the periphery of the Canadian federation. The Politics of Resentment is the first book to examine the role that British Columbia has played in the evolving Canadian unity debate. Resnick explores…

Twenty-First Century Democracy
Topics in this collection of essays range from a utopian-style foray into possible structures for democratic governance at the global level to a Hobbesian analysis of the ongoing challenges that democratic theory faces; from an assertion of the importance of social and economic equality to a recognition of the limits of solidarity in the real world of pluralistic and divided societies in which we live; from identification with the cosmopolitan an…

Voices on National Divorce
Cet article presente deux ouvrages apportant une reflexion a la question quebecoise. Apres l'echec de l'accord de Meech Lake, les deux travaux s'interrogent sur une solution allant dans le sens preconise par les separatistes et les nationalistes quebecois, a savoir l'acces a la souverainete du Quebec. Selon les AA., les conditions culturelles, politiques et economiques sont remplies pour qu'un tel scenario se produise, avec le maintien de rapport…
The Masks of Proteus
Letters to a Québécois Friend
Philip Resnick's controversial letters, written as a stirring response to Quebec's stand in the 1988 federal election, will not only galvanize the ongoing discussions on Meech Lake and Free Trade but will bring to the fore the question of Quebec's future relationship to the rest of Canada. Daniel Latouche's reply - often witty but never light-hearted - brings his strong Québécois nationalist views to bear on the questions raised by Resnick and wi…

Disorganized Capitalism
Reply to Comments on “The Mixed Constitution and the Separation of Powers in Canada”
Both Janet Ajzenstat's and Rod Preece's comments on my article are welcome, not least in allowing me to further develop, by way of reply, some of the implications of the type of theorizing I have been engaged in. For quite aside from the particulars of my interpretation of Montesquieu's doctrines, of Professor Preece's reading of the wisdom of the Canadian founding fathers, or of Professor Ajzenstat's “Blackstonean” reading of the British North A…
State and Civil Society
This study assesses the contribution of five of the research studies done for the Macdonald Royal Commission and of the opening chapter of the Commission Report to our understanding of the state. It examines the use of the term state, the economic and social functions that the latter is seen to perform, and the light that these studies may shed on such thorny topics as authority, legitimacy and citizenship in the late twentieth century. It conclu…
Montesquieu Revisited, or the Mixed Constitution and the Separation of Powers in Canada
Montesquieu may be a better guide to understanding the nature of the Canadian state, past and present, than Hobbes or Locke of any of the other political philosophers of the past. This article argues that Montesquieu's doctrine has two major components–a discussion of the mixed constitution, blending monarchical, aristocratic and democratic features, and the separation of powers that distinguishes among executive, legislative and judicial. Each o…

The Political Theory of Extra-Parliamentarism
Cet article se définit volontairement comme engagé, en partant à la recherche de la théorie politique de l'extraparlementarisme. Son auteur propose à la fois une critique radicale de la théorie bourgeoise de la réprésentation et une analyse de l'extraparlementarisme qui la situe dans une tradition révolutionnaire qui date au moins de la révolution française.La première section de l'article a donc un caractère historique, et critique le rôle anti-…
