By examining tourist activities in national capitals, the book addresses issues in capital city development as tourist destinations with a broad, international approach and case studies on major tourist cities.

Immigrant Settlement Policy in Canadian Municipalities
Canada has one of the most successful immigration programmes in the world, a function of the policies, programmes, and services that assist newcomers. Immigrant settlement is a crucial policy field that involves governments, communities, and a range of social forces. Immigration matters are an area of shared jurisdiction, but the federal government has long been the dominant player. Provinces and municipalities, however, are now pushing for an expanded policy role, increased resources, and governance arrangements that recognize the important part they play in immigrant settlement. Drawing on in-depth interviews with government officials and front-line workers, contributors provide a comparat...
Perspectives on Ottawa's High-tech Sector
Canada's capital - Ottawa - is earning a reputation as a global technology centre that offers a dynamic mix of economic, cultural, educational and recreational opportunities. It is an advanced technology centre, particularly known for its research and development in the fields of telecommunications, technology services, software development, defence and security, microelectronics/wireless and photonics. Readers can see innovation and the elements of the New Economy revealed by the different authors detailing different accounts and analyses of the Ottawa area. The book is organised into four themes: 1. Ottawa: A Knowledge City?, 2. Planning the Cluster: By Decision, By Design or By Destiny?, 3. 'Growing' the Cluster: Idea Farming and Innovation Strategies for Economic Development, and 4. The Unique Ottawa Cluster: Regional, Bilingual and Cosmopolitan.
Varieties of Capital Cities
The political and symbolic centrality of capital cities has been challenged by increasing economic globalization. This is especially true of secondary capital cities; capital cities which, while being the seat of national political power, are not the primary economic city of their nation state. David Kaufmann examines the unique challenges that these cities face entering globalised, inter-urban competition while not possessing a competitive political economy.
L'économie politique des ressources naturelles au Québec
L'avenir de l'économie du Québec passera-t-il par une réaffirmation de son passé ressourciste ou extractiviste, comme les variantes du Plan Nord le laissaient voir ? Ou, au contraire, est-il plutôt du côté d'une transition économique et énergétique qui viserait à faire du Québec une économie complète, mature et durable – à la mesure, en somme, d'une société globale ? Afin de bien souligner cette contingence historique, les auteurs du présent ouvrage ont jugé pertinent de mobiliser le concept de gouvernance pour rendre compte du caractère pratique de la transition, ainsi que de la capacité de pilotage politique au sein du jeu actuel. Il faut donc saisir la manière dont ces tendances se combinent dans différents secteurs économiques liés à l'exploitation des ressources naturelles et donnent naissance à des modes de gouvernance particuliers. Pour ce faire, nous examinerons trois secteurs liés à des ressources naturelles : la forêt, le porc et l'énergie éolienne.
Governing Urban Economies
Today more than ever, cities matter to the economic and social well-being of the vast majority of Canadians. Canada's urban centers are simultaneously the engines of the national economy and the places where the risks of social exclusion are most concentrated, making innovative and inclusive urban governance an urgent national priority. Governing Urban Economies is the first detailed scholarly examination of relations among governmental and community-based actors in Canadian city-regions. Comparing patterns of municipal-community relations and federal-provincial interactions across city-regions, this volume tracks the ways in which urban coalitions tackle complex economic and social challenges. Featuring an inter-disciplinary group of established and up-and-coming scholars, this collection breaks new ground in the Canadian urban politics literature and will appeal to urbanists working in a range of national contexts.
