Nunavut
Political culture in Nunavut has long been characterized by different approaches to political life: traditional Inuit attitudes toward governance, federal aspirations for the political integration of Inuit, and territorial strategies for institutional development. Ailsa Henderson links these features to contemporary political attitudes and behaviour, concluding that a distinctive political culture is emerging in Nunavut. Drawing upon extensive fieldwork and quantitative analysis, this book provides the first systematic, empirical study of political life in Nunavut, offering comprehensive analysis of the evolving nature of aboriginal self-government in the Arctic and shedding crucial light on Inuit–non-Inuit relations.
International Education as Public Policy in Canada
In the early twenty-first century international education emerged as an almost ubiquitous concept within discussions of educational curriculum; the objectives of schools, universities, and colleges; and government policies for K–12 and higher education. Although far from a new phenomenon, many jurisdictions now view international education as a highly competitive global industry. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of international education policy in Canada, tracing the complex history of when, how, and why it emerged as a policy area of strategic importance. Illuminating a uniquely Canadian perspective, influenced by regional interests and federal-provincial tensions, Internation...
“We Are in Charge Here”
Powerful, innovative Indigenous self-governance regimes are increasingly important players in Canadian politics, but little academic work has been done on their structure, operation, and effectiveness. "We Are In Charge Here" examines the central institution of the most populous Indigenous self-governance regime in Canada, the elected Assembly of the Nunatsiavut Government. Nunatsiavut – "our beautiful land" in Inuktitut – was established in 2006 by a modern treaty between the Labrador Inuit and the Canadian state. Graham White offers a thorough observation of the Assembly, based on interviews with Assembly members and others involved in Nunatsiavut politics, observation of Assembly sess...

Na drodze do samodzielności
„Podjęta w recenzowanej monografii problematyka ewolucji ustroju terytorialnego Kanady w kontekście transformacji pozycji społeczno-politycznej Inuitów jest nie tylko interesująca i aktualna, lecz także rzadko podejmowana w polskiej literaturze przedmiotu w tak kompleksowy sposób. W tym kontekście dr M. Gabryś wypełnia poważną lukę badawczą w zakresie badań politologicznych w Polsce dotyczących Kanady i czyni to w sposób bardzo kompetentny i rzetelny. Na uznanie zasługuje zarówno kompleksowa skala prezentowanych badań, jak też dociekliwość i skrupulatność ich Autora. [...] Oryginalność pracy w powiązaniu z wysoką jakością warsztatu badawczego czynią z tego opracowania cenną pozycję naukową, która może być adresowana nie tylko do specjalistów z zakresu badań kanadyjskich czy ustrojów terytorialnych, lecz także dla miłośników kanadyjskiej Arktyki, których interesują losy jej rdzennych mieszkańców.” Z recenzji dr hab. Michała Łuszczuka, prof. UMCS
Sub-State Nationalism
This book provides a much needed catergorization and genuinely comparative analysis of the political voice gained by sub-state national groups in multinational democratic communities.
Power and Resistance
How do we make sense of the social problems that continue to plague Canadian society? Our understanding of issues such as poverty, racism, violence, homophobia, crime and pollution stems from our view of how society is structured. From the dominant neoliberal perspective, social problems arise from individuals making poor choices. From a critical perspective, however, these social troubles are caused by structural social inequalities. Disparities in economic, social and political power — that is, relations of power based on class, race, gender and sexual orientation — are the central structural element of capitalist, patriarchal, colonialist societies. The contributors to Power and Resistance use this critical perspective to explore Canadian social issues such as poverty, colonialism, homophobia, violence against women, climate change and so on. This sixth edition adds chapters on the corporatization of higher education, the lethal impacts of colonialism, democracy, the social determinants of health, drug policy and sexual violence on campus.
