Struggle for Quebec
Author: Robert Andrew Young
Publisher: McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP
ISBN: 0773518517
Category : Canada
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
Young (political science, U. of Western Ontario) follows his analysis of the Quebec situation in The Secession of Quebec and the Future of Canada, written in mid-1994, with an update of developments since then. He describes the prelude to the 1995 referendum campaign on Quebec secession, and analyzes the arguments deployed by federalists and sovereignists, seeking to explain why the Yes forces gained ground in 1995 and almost won. He then assesses the fallout of the referendum and describes how the sovereignists and federalists are maneuvering around the prospect of another referendum. He provides predictions on what would happen after a Yes vote. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Secession of Quebec and the Future of Canada
Author: Robert Young
Publisher: McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP
ISBN: 0773565477
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 391
Book Description
Robert Young discusses the ways in which Canadians might reconstitute their country after Quebec separates and considers possible political and economic arrangements between Quebec and Canada - the "association" aspect of sovereignty-association - including the breakdown of economic cooperation. Arguing that the long-term future of Canada and the shape of Canada-Quebec relations will depend on how the transition to sovereignty takes place, Young provides a clear and detailed analysis of how the transition is likely to occur. His discussion addresses major issues to be negotiated during the secession - citizenship, national debt, borders, armed forces and public service, commercial and economic relations, currency, First Nations, minority rights, mobility and immigration, and environmental matters. For comparison, Young draws on the experiences of other countries where peaceful secession has occurred, including Czechoslovakia. The second edition includes a new preface and concluding chapter that discuss to what extent the situation has changed since the referendum of 1995.

Quebec and Canada in the New Century
Author: Michael Murphy
Publisher: School of Policy Studies Queen's University
ISBN: 9781553390176
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
After the Quiet Revolution policies in Quebec society were driven by a discourse of sovereignty and Quebec nation-building that fundamentally challenged the legitimacy and integrity of the Canadian federation. Since the 1995 referendum a different set of priorities has come to the fore in Quebec society - health care, education, employment and economic development, security, and the environment. These are the same issues that dominate the public agenda across the country. Canada: The State of the Federation 2005 explores the significance of this shift - is it a temporary period of calm or an essential realignment of Quebec's relationships with Canada and the rest of the world? Can the abatement of overt nationalist sentiment be attributed to the success of nationalist policies themselves, particularly those relating to the French language? Authors in this volume examine the political economy of Quebec nationalism, the impact of regional and global integration, the rise of new social movements, political party dynamics, the increasingly multicultural character of urban Quebec, and the shifting intergovernmental dynamics in the federation.

Determining Boundaries in a Conflicted World
Author: Suzanne N. Lalonde
Publisher: McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP
ISBN: 0773570497
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 362
Book Description
She argues that nothing justifies conferring such a binding status on the principle and that the uti possidetis applied in Yugoslavia was an entirely new version that can derive no legitimacy from colonial precedents. While the doctrine may have considerable utility in some cases, it is only principle among many that must be considered if future disputes are to be resolved so as to promote long term peace and stability. Lalonde sounds a cautionary note, showing that the idea that uti possidetis provides a one-size-fits-all, legally incontestable solution to all territorial disputes is an illusion.

Contemporary Quebec

Category : History

Pages : 809
Book Description
In the last seventy years, Quebec has changed from a society dominated by the social edicts of the Catholic Church and the economic interests of anglophone business leaders to a more secular culture that frequently elects separatist political parties and has developed the most comprehensive welfare state in North America. In Contemporary Quebec, leading scholars raise provocative questions about the ways in which Quebec has been transformed since the Second World War and offer competing interpretations of the reasons for the province's quiet and radical revolutions.
