Problems And Opportunities In U.S. – Quebec Relations
The failure of the May 1980 Quebec referendum on sovereignty and the ratification in 1982 of a Canadian constitution, over Quebec's vehement objection but with the acquiescence of all other provinces, would appear to indicate that the likelihood of Quebec's independence has been sharply reduced, if not eliminated. Not so, is the considered judgment
Les pêches maritimes au Québec
Les pêches maritimes du Québec ont subi, au cours de la dernière décennie, de nombreux bouleversements qui se sont répercutés sur leurs structures économiques, sociales et politiques. L'administration des pêches, dans les mains du gouvernment du Québec depuis 1922, a été reprise par le gouvernement du Canada en 1983. Les orientations se sont profondément modifiées et l'intervention de l'État prend de nouvelles formes, tantôt innovatrices, tantôt rigides et contraignantes. Marcel Deneau fait ici le point sur les pêches québécoises à un moment crucial de leur évolution. Après un historique détaillé de l'administration des pêches, il se livre à une analyse de la dimension économique de ce secteur, décrit les objectifs poursuivis par le Québec et, enfin, procède à l'évaluation critique des ressources financières et des nombreux programmes d'aide à cette industrie.

The Franco-Americans of New England
Between 1840 and 1930, approximately 900,000 people left Quebec for the United States and settled in French-Canadian colonies in New England's industrial cities. Yves Roby draws from first-person accounts to explore the conversion of these immigrants and their descendants from French-Canadian to Franco-American. The first generation of immigrants saw themselves as French Canadians who had relocated to the United States. They were not involved with American society and instead sought to recreate their lost homeland. The Franco-Americans of New England reveals that their children, however, did not see a need to create a distinct society. Although they maintained aspects of their language, religion, and customs, they felt no loyalty to Canada and identified themselves as Franco-American. Roby's analysis raises insightful questions about not only Franco-Americans but also the integration of ethno-cultural groups into Canadian society and the future of North American Francophonies.
I William Zartman: A Pioneer in Conflict Management and Area Studies
The work draws on wide-ranging area analysis to develop inductively new concepts and approaches for further use in explanation and application. Divided into two parts, it begins with analysis of revolution and socio-political unrest, followed by models of ethnic conflict and elite circulation in developing societies. It presents the cultural dialectic present in Islam. It then lays out the patterns of mediation and negotiation in managing and resolving conflict, culminating with an analysis of intractables. Part two on governance lays out the nature of world order, cooperation, and conciliation. It then turns to the challenges of identity, ideology, and interest, with some specific attention to the nature of borders and borderlands, and focuses on governance as conflict management and as negotiation. - This book encompasses a new analysis of a neglected part of International Relation, the prevention and management of conflict. - The book confronts sources and patterns of contentious politics with systems and methods of governance. - The book lays out a comprehensive conceptualization of the process of conflict management and negotiation, including questions of when as well as how.

The Reconquest Of Montreal
Although Montreal has been a bilingual city since 1760 and demographically dominated by French-speakers for well over a century and a quarter, it was not until the late 1960s that full-fledged challenges to the city’s English character emerged. Since then. two decades of agitation over la question linguistique as well as the enactment of three language laws have altered the places of French and English in Montreal‘s schools, public administration, economy. and even commercial signs. In this book, Marc Levine examines the nature of this stunning transformation and, in particular, the role of public policy in promoting it. The reconquest of Montreal by the French-speaking majority makes fo...
