Canada enjoys a long-held reputation for producing high-quality media, from National Film Board documentaries to the CBC to children’s programming. But in recent years, funding cuts, commercial media concentration and a sour political environment have been steadily eroding this reputation. In About Canada: Media, Peter Steven examines developments in film, television, the internet and newspapers and finds that the quality of our news and entertainment media is steadily declining, as well as becoming increasingly restricted and less diverse. Although Canada is not alone in this crisis of quality, we are particularly vulnerable living in the shadow of the United States. However, despite this decline and the shadow of our southern neighbour, Canada still produces distinctive and popular work, which receives critical international acclaim. About Canada: Media explores all things CanCon and argues that the Canadian people must reclaim the media from elite interests in order to ensure its democratic and quality future.
This book focuses on the subject of choice of law as a whole and provides an analysis of its various rules, principles, doctrines and concepts. It offers a conceptual account of choice of law, called "choice equality foundation" (CEF), which aims to flesh out the normative basis of the subject. The author reveals that, despite the multiplicity of titles and labels within the myriad choice of law rules and practices of the U.S., Canadian, European, Australian, and other systems, many of them effectively confirm and crystallize CEF's vision of the subject. This alignment signifies the necessarily intimate relationship between theory and practice by which the normative underpinnings of CEF are ...

S’inscrivant dans le débat très actuel que connaît la Guadeloupe, comme d’ailleurs l’ensemble des Collectivités d’Outre-mer, au sujet de son devenir dans un contexte de décentralisation et de globalisation galopante, cet ouvrage pose la question des adaptations et des transformations institutionnelles que choisit le territoire, et celle des mutations sociales et économiques que connaissent ses micro-territoires sous l’effet d’actions que les changements institutionnels et les défis de la globalisation encouragent. Fruit d’un colloque international organisé par le laboratoire CERAL de l’Université Paris 13 avec le soutien du Conseil régional de Guadeloupe, au moment où, fin janvier 2008, la Guadeloupe connaissait un mouvement social d’une ampleur exceptionnelle, cette réflexion bénéficie d’une perspective étendue, alliant ainsi approches juridiques, politiques et sociologiques, n’oubliant pas les expériences étrangères telles que vécues en Tunisie ou au Canada. Une étude pertinente d’où émerge in fine l’image de l’Outre-mer comme laboratoire du monde en devenir.

Most of us avoid thinking about what happens when the oil runs out (or becomes prohibitively expensive), but the reality may not be as bad as we think. The Transition Handbook shows how the inevitable and profound changes ahead could have a positive effect. Written by permaculture expert Rob Hopkins, he discusses the poss...

C'est donc à une réflexion plus globale que Serge Mongeau a voulu donner accès en écrivant La belle vie. " Je suis un homme heureux. J'ai main...
