Aspects de l'identité canadienne
Ce volume contient une série d'études d'auteurs dont les œuvres parlent de provinces allant des Maritimes à la Colombie britannique, en passant par le Québec, l'Ontario et la Saskatchewan. C'est dire que, sans prétendre être exhaustif, le présent ouvrage aborde des aspects complémentaires de cette identité canadienne fondée sur la reconnaissance pas toujours facile de la diversité des cultures. L'exemple du camp de Kandelore offre un contrepoint représentatif de la politique culturelle volontariste du Canada face aux difficultés évoquées par Miriam Waddington, tandis que l'analyse de Modecai Richler fait écho à son étude de l'intégration de la culture juive dans la société canadienne. W.O. Mitchell laisse entrevoir l'univers autochtone face au monde WASP, et il est possible de mesurer le chemin parcouru depuis Two Solitudes. En fait, ce petit ouvrage fait apparaître comment les multiples solitudes culturelles entreprennent de vivre ensemble.
Solemn Vows
A search for a man armed with a rifle that hasn’t been shot since the war of 1812 leads to an investigation that takes Marc Edwards from a newspaper office into the mansions of the Family Compact, and even to the local brewery, as the clues he uncovers point closer and closer to home. Now lieutenant in charge of security at Government House in Toronto, Marc Edwards is eager for action in both his personal and professional life. His letters to Beth Smallman in Crawford Corners have gone unanswered and writing speeches for Lieutenant Governor Francis Bond Head is not the stuff of excitement. Then, during an election speech by Bond Head, a shot fells a government minister sitting just behind ...
Turncoat
To investigate the mysterious death of Crown secret agent Joshua Smallman, Marc Edwards goes undercover in the small town of Crawford’s Corners, wading into rumours of sedition and secret societies. It’s 1836 and Ensign Marc Edwards, of His Majesty’s 24th Regiment of Foot, is eager for some adventure and intrigue. Unfortunately he’s been posted to the colonial backwater of Toronto, Upper Canada, and at first glance there doesn’t seem to be much chance for that sort of action. But Marc soon learns that the local population is openly chafing under British Rule, and the surrounding countryside turns out to be a seething hotbed of radicals, Reformers, Yankees, and smugglers. Ensign Edw...
The Political Economy of Globalization
Globalization is transforming the world at an accelerated pace. Integration of the world continues, widening and intensifying international linkages in economic, political and social relations. Liberalization of trade and fmance, lubricated by revolutionary changes in information technology, has resulted in significant economic growth at the global level. On the other hand, the process of globalization is changing the nature of production relations, threatening the traditional roles of the nation-state, and carrying with it far-reaching implications for sustainable growth, development and the environment. Although both developed and developing countries are actively participating in this sag...
Dynamics of Globalization and Development
Dynamics of Globalization and Development debates the role of structural adjustment programs and policies, the implication of financial liberalization for growth and stability, the effects of foreign direct investment and the associated behavior of multinationals in terms of intellectual property rights, the diffusion of technology, growth and development. Many contributors offer innovative insights into the complexities of the process in terms of its micro foundations, and propose efficiency-based multinational policy frameworks. A general thrust of most of the studies in this volume is that the market-driven process of globalization alone will not lead to stable and equitable economic growth Consequently, several contributors recommend a set of proactive policies to promote greater stability in the system and a more equitable distribution of the benefits of globalization. This anthology will provide valuable insights and important background analysis for scholars working in the field of globalization as well as senior undergraduate and graduate students in a variety of curricula, including economics, finance, development studies, and international studies.
