Reimagining Geographic Education: An Exploration of Haskell Indian Nations University’s Geography Program Through Time
Haskell Indian Nations University (HINU), an Indigenous university run by the federal government, uses the flexibility of the discipline of geography to create a platform to overcome horrendous colonial legacies, and make HINU a leader in convergence science research. The popularity of Geographical Information System (GIS) is drawing attention to geographic inquiry, but it can pigeonhole the discipline. For the student body at HINU, these barrier…
The Canadian Journal of Political Science: Birth or Metamorphosis
With the Canadian Journal of Political Science/Revue canadienne de science politique now in its fiftieth year, as the founding English coeditor, I'm pleased to be able to reminisce about its first days
Uneasy Partners: Multiculturalism and Rights in Canada
After decades of extraordinary successes as a multicultural society, new debates are bubbling to the surface in Canada. The contributors to this volume examine the conflict between equality rights, as embedded in the Charter, and multiculturalism as policy and practice, and ask which charter value should trump which and under what circumstances? The opening essay deliberately sharpens the conflict among religion, culture, and equality rights and …

Unresolved Ambiguity: Quebec After the Election of 1998
PSEPHOLOGY – THE ART OF STUDYING ELECTIONS – HAS COME TEN thousand leagues since R.B.McCallum applied the term in the 1940s to his pioneering analyses of British elections and political opinion in the first of the now classic Nuffield studies. Putting the electors under a magnifying glass has ranged from examining them by means of formal logic and sophisticated mathematical procedures, to anecdotal accounts of the process through which democracie…
An Echo of Ghiţa Ionescu’s Reading Notes: Travails of the Canadian State
AMONG THE FOIBLES BY WHICH HUMANS ENHANCE THEIR PEACE OF mind, few are as persistent as the habit of endowing transitory practices and institutions with permanence. We tend to assume that things known since childhood, particularly if they are important to us, are timeless and immutable. The modern nation state, for instance, is seen as a perpetual fixture on the landscape when, in fact, it is a relatively new, and probably passing phenomenon, at …
Market Structure, Uncertainty, and Intrafirm Diffusion: The Case of Optical Scanners in Grocery Stores
Sharon G. Levin, Stanford L. Levin, John B. Meisel, Market Structure, Uncertainty, and Intrafirm Diffusion: The Case of Optical Scanners in Grocery Stores, The Review of Economics and Statistics, Vol. 74, No. 2 (May, 1992), pp. 345-350
Some Canadian Perspectives on Communication Research
It is always comforting to begin an intellectual discourse with a truism. To do so disarms a potentially rebellious audience by indicating that it is not about to be shocked out of its well-worn mental boots. Thus reassured, the listener or reader is likely to receive the presented message with a sense of benign benevolence. Furthermore, at this stage in the proceedings, the receiver is still alert and fresh and so unlikely to be lulled into slee…
A Dynamic Analysis of the Adoption of a New Technology: The Case of Optical Scanners
Two p roportional hazard models are used to investigate the differingeffects of marke t structure variables on the conditional probabilityof a firm initially adoptin g the new technology of optical scanners as the innovation spreads through the f ood store industry. During the early stage, leading firms with large average sto re size which are not members of chains and which operate in less concentrated m arkets with higher incomes and wage rates…
Introduction to the International Political Science Review
The Fear of Conflict and Other Failings
SCHOLARS RARELY WRITE IN THE FIRST PERSON SINGULAR and even less often tackle the examination of ideas or events overtly in the context of autobiographical ruminations. I therefore find myself a trifle ill at ease in trying to express my thought in what is, to all intents and purposes, an unaccustomed mode

Leisure, politics and political science: A preliminary exploration
Citizen Demands and Government Response
Social science like motorcars, hemlines and slang is subject to the vicissitudes of fashion. The 'in' thing, at one time, was to relate everything to Riesman's s curve and the other-directed personality; other periods were intrigued by Rostow's stages of economic growth, Hartzian fragment theory, Lijphart's consociationalism, or Bell's end of ideology. At the present time one of the mind-catching concerns stresses the so-called ungovernability of…

Papers on the 1962 Election: Fifteen Papers on the Canadian General Election of 1962
This book does not follow the current North American fashion of writing with the aid of a pair of scissors and a glue-pol. It is not a set of "readings" in the sense that it makes available in a single volume numerous items published previously elsewhere: all of the contributions were originally written for inclusion in these Papers. This fact notwithstanding, the essays do not follow any one theme, nor are they given unity by a shared frame of r…

DOMESTIC Commons during the twenty-third Parliament.1 This was hardly surprising. Canada's political climate, after the electoral defeat suffered by the Liberal party on June 10th, was one of uncertainty and excited expectations. Mr. St. Laurent's cabinet resigned and was replaced by a minority government headed by Mr. Diefenbaker. What would happen next? How long would the government remain undefeated in the House? Who would succeed Mr. St. Laur…
