This book deals with an increasingly important topic. As governments are expected to provide their citizens with more services at less cost, the traditional vehicles of public sector agencies and companies prove to be too expensive. New forms of providing public services are needed. The study explains the basis for public ownership and how public ownership forms have changed over time to accommodate requirements of efficiency in economic and social environments that have become more complex. The book examines experiences in specific sectors and the form of management of public companies that have emerged, with a particular focus on the energy and communications sectors where government ownership has traditionally dominated.

Voir l'aiguille reculer dans son petit cadran vitré me donne des ailes. J'aime sentir mes pantalons flotter légèrement autour de ma taille. Insérer ma main entre le tissu et ma peau. Ça crée un espace en moi, une terre vierge où je peux m'inventer. » Pascale a quatorze ans et un corps qu'elle n'a pas choisi. Un matin, plantée devant le miroir, mâchoire serrée, elle se déclare la guerre. Tandis que son corps s'affine, son univers rétrécit. Le processus de l'anorexie se déploie peu à peu, menaçant bientôt sa vie. Pascale veut être libre. Pascale veut être aimée. Pascale veut être mince. Jusqu’à disparaître. Maigrir.

Canada and the United States share the world’s longest international border. For those living in the immediate vicinity of the Canadian side of the border, the events of 9/11 were a turning point in their relationship with their communities, their American neighbours and government officials. Borderline Canadianness offers a unique ethnographic approach to Canadian border life. The accounts of local residents, taken from interviews and press reports in Ontario’s Niagara region, demonstrate how borders and everyday nationalism are articulated in complex ways across region, class, race, and gender. Jane Helleiner’s examination begins with a focus on the “de-bordering” initiated by NAFTA and concludes with the “re-bordering” as a result of the 9/11 attacks. Her accounts of border life reveals disconnects between elite border projects and the concerns of ordinary citizens as well as differing views on national belonging. Helleiner has produced a work that illuminates the complexities and inequalities of borders and nationalism in a globalized world.
