While Quebec is well known for its provincial-level party politics and thriving nationalism, voting behaviour and electoral campaigning at the municipal level have failed to gain much attention to date. Voting in Quebec Municipal Elections seeks to transform the state of municipal elections research in Quebec through a systematic study of the 2017 Montreal and Quebec City elections. Drawing upon data from the Canadian Municipal Election Study, the authors demonstrate not only the importance of Quebec municipal politics, but the many ways that municipal elections research can inform our broader understanding of voting behaviour in the province. This volume considers the features particular to the Quebec local context, such as the importance of language and nationalism, the effects of local party labels for down-ballot races, and the role of ideology. Voting in Quebec Municipal Elections represents the largest-ever collection of work on local elections in the province’s history, making a significant contribution to our understanding of the municipal voter in Quebec.
This book explores the 2019 Canadian Federal Election through a political marketing framework. Justin Trudeau’s leadership appeal, coupled with the differentiation of Canadian politics from American politics over recent elections, has contributed to a spike in interest for politics in the Canadian context. This collection provides in-depth quantitative and qualitative research of different aspects of this election, including the attempted re-branding of the Conservative Party under Andrew Scheer, the marketing of the NDP with the selection of the first visible minority party leader in Canadian history, the political marketing of the Bloc Québécois, Green Party, and People’s Party and, foremost perhaps, the brand maintenance of Trudeau and the Liberal Party of Canada. The book also looks at campaign marketing, and considers how the parties in this election utilized market intelligence, consumer data and vote targeting, and wedge issues during the campaign.
Comment penser la nation et le nationalisme tels qu’on peut les observer au XXIe siècle ? Condamner aujourd’hui tout recours aux idées et aux idéologies qu’ils sous-tendent constitue, selon l’auteur de cet ouvrage, un déni important qui empêche des philosophes, des politologues, des juristes ou toute entité réfractaire aux politiques de reconnaissance identitaire, de saisir de façon nuancée la réalité du monde actuel. Pour réfléchir à ces questions, ce livre ambitieux propose un état des lieux du droit international et des droits admis au sein des constitutions existantes ainsi qu’une analyse fouillée s’appuyant sur des études de cas. Il présente des conceptions pluralistes de la nation et de l’autodétermination à l’aune d’accords fondateurs, tels le Pacte international relatif aux droits civils et politiques de 1966 ou la Déclaration de 2007 sur les droits des peuples autochtones. Enfin, ce livre s’adresse à nous tous, citoyens du monde et parties prenantes de nos nations respectives.
À l’hiver 2020, le monde entier est confronté au fléau de la COVID-19. À l’instar de leurs homologues internationaux, nos gouvernements sont contraints d’adopter des mesures drastiques allant jusqu’au confinement. Pendant ce temps à Montréal, Marc Deulceux, confiné, ne quitte pas la COVID des yeux. Chaque jour, il écrit sur notre « ennemi invisible » et consigne dans un journal les événements entourant la pandémie ainsi que les citations d’une multitude de personnalités scientifiques et politiques. Son objectif ? Partager un témoignage vivant avec tous afin de mieux comprendre les origines de cette fatalité et d’être mieux préparés lorsqu’un nouveau virus prendra le monde en otage.
