What kind of a country is Canada beyond Quebec? With a referendum on Quebec sovereignty looming on the horizon, this is a question Canadians are being forced to ask. In Beyond Quebec scholars from a wide variety of disciplines examine the current political, cultural, economic, and social situation of Canada outside Quebec and speculate on the nature of a Canada that does not include Quebec on the present terms.
Efforts to reform the Canadian constitution have only resulted in a serious impasse fostered by demands for change from Quebec and reticence from English Canada. This book looks at the potential for achieving reconciliation through a new partnership between Quebec and Canada in a series of papers that examine the stakes for both Canada and Quebec in opting for a modified relationship that is neither the status quo nor complete separation. Two papers in part 1 lay the conceptual groundwork concerning the constituent elements of partnership. Papers in part 2 deal with the economic union in the context of a renewed partnership. Four papers in part 3 examine issues concerning rights, recognition, and citizenship in a Quebec-Canada partnership. Part 5 broadens the discussion to the international arena and includes a comparative international scan of partnership models. The final part distils the two editors' separate conclusions on how to move beyond the impasse based on the studies presented.
Quebec is currently a Canadian province and home to the second-largest French-speaking metropolis in the world and the largest French-speaking society in North America. It has, however, by virtue of its history and political development, distinguished itself as more than merely a sub-national unit. Over the past thirty years, it has assumed a significant role in international politics through its position in the Francophonie and its cultural role in the consolidation of French-speaking society in the midst of an English-speaking continent. Moreover, Quebec is unique within North America as a highly autonomous state seeking increasing integration into the New World Order while preserving its cultural specificity.
First published in French in 2006, Le fédéralisme canadien contemporain was immediately recognised as the most comprehensive collection of reflections on Canadian federalism by leading Québécois scholars. This remarkable translation of a range of Québécois voices makes their insightful and underrepresented perspectives available to English-language audiences. Offering alternative views of the Canadian federal model's realities by covering its foundations, traditions, and institutions, Contemporary Canadian Federalism considers the ways in which federalism relates to issues such as regionalism, multiculturalism, rights and freedoms, financial distribution, and public policy. Filled with stimulating work that bridges the gap between distinctive traditions in English- and French-Canadian scholarship on federalism, this important volume is required reading for understanding provincial-federal relations and Canadian governance.
