Contemporary Quebec
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.

Neoliberal Legality
Neoliberalism has been studied as a political ideology, an historical moment, an economic programme, an institutional model, and a totalising political project. Yet the role of law in the neoliberal story has been relatively neglected, and the idea of neoliberalism as a juridical project has yet to be considered. That is: neoliberal law and its interrelations with neoliberal politics and economics has remained almost entirely neglected as a subject of research and debate. This book provides a systematic attempt to develop a holistic and coherent understanding of the relationship between law and neoliberalism. It does not, however, examine law and neoliberalism as fixed entities or as philoso...

Immigration, diversité et sécurité
La diversité ethnoculturelle est maintenant une réalité québécoise. Une étude a analysé les transformations des politiques publiques canadienne et québécoise d'aménagement pour répondre à cette nouvelle diversité, ainsi que les revendications des organisations non gouvernementales (ONG) à la défense des droits des immigrants et des minorités racisées et, en particulier, des associations arabo-musulmanes.
Thérèse Casgrain
Thérèse Casgrain est un formidable personnage qui a traversé presque tout le siècle dernier. On se souvient d’elle surtout pour avoir été la « suffragette en chef » lors de la longue marche des femmes du Québec vers l’obtention du droit de vote. Mais là ne se résume pas son influence sur la société québécoise et canadienne. Issue de la grande bourgeoisie canadienne-française du début du vingtième siècle, Marie-Thérèse Forget aurait pu se contenter de consacrer ses loisirs aux réceptions et aux œuvres pies, comme les femmes de son milieu. Profondément éprise de justice, elle s’investit au contraire dans des batailles de toutes sortes, mettant à profit son temps...
Canada’s Rights Revolution
In the first major study of postwar social movement organizations in Canada, Dominique Clément provides a history of the human rights movement as seen through the eyes of two generations of activists. Drawing on newly acquired archival sources, extensive interviews, and materials released through access to information applications, Clément explores the history of four organizations that emerged in the sixties and evolved into powerful lobbies for human rights despite bitter internal disputes and intense rivalries. This book offers a unique perspective on infamous human rights controversies and argues that the idea of human rights has historically been highly statist while grassroots activism has been at the heart of the most profound human rights advances.
Poverty, Inequality, and the Future of Social Policy
"Extremely coherent and useful, this much needed volume is concerned with the current status of the poor in Western industrial states. Its closely linked essays allow comparisons between case studies and are often themselves cross-national comparisons....The essays also comment on the meaning of globalization for social policy." —Choice "Excellent and tightly integrated articles by a group of prominent international scholars....A timely and important book, which will surely become the basic reference point for all future research on inequality and social policy." —Contemporary Sociology The social safety net is under strain in all Western nations, as social and economic change has create...
