This book was released on 2005-01-13T00:00:00-05:00 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depuis quelques années, les revendications politiques et territoriales des Autochtones posent le problème de la place de ces peuples dans l’État canadien et québécois issu de la colonisation européenne du territoire. Les mutations constitutionnelles récentes, les décisions des tribunaux et la négociation d’ententes historiques entre le Canada, le Québec et les peuples autochtones annoncent des bouleversements dont il est devenu impérieux de prendre la juste mesure. Le défi consiste à donner sa pleine effectivité à la reconnaissance des droits des peuples autochtones dans un pays qui, pendant des décennies, voire des siècles, s’est développé en faisant largement abstraction des Autochtones et de leurs droits. Pour relever ce défi, il faut d’abord comprendre d’où viennent ces droits et en connaître la raison d’être. Il faut aussi composer avec la difficulté d’interpréter aujourd’hui ces droits en l’absence de textes clairs ou actuels en définissant la portée. Il importe enfin de savoir tenir compte du point de vue et des besoins légitimes des Autochtones sans pour autant occulter la nécessité d’une cohabitation de tous les citoyens au sein d’une société plurielle qui dépend, pour son développement, d’un accès aussi bien durable qu’équitable aux ressources d’un vaste territoire. Dans cet ouvrage, qui est en grande partie le prolon-gement du colloque Les droits des Autochtones : réalités et mythes tenu à l’Université Laval le 25 avril 2003, des juristes spécialistes de la question autochtone expliquent les origines et les justifications historiques des droits ancestraux et issus de traités. Ils se penchent aussi sur les difficultés propres à la définition contemporaine des droits collectifs des premières nations devant les tribunaux ou lors de négociations de traités modernes. Ils montrent enfin en quoi ces droits collectifs, dont le droit à l’autonomie gouvernementale, soulèvent des enjeux inédits de gouvernance tant dans les rapports entre les ordres de gouvernement au sein du régime fédéral canadien que dans les relations entre les droits de groupe et les libertés individuelles garanties dans les Chartes des droits. Ont collaboré à cet ouvrage : Paul Dionne, Renée Dupuis, André Émond, l'Honorable Claire L'Heureux-Dubé, Sébastien Grammond, Michel Morin, René Morin.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A partir d'une approche pluridisciplinaire, cet ouvrage explore la complexité des relations de pouvoir qui pèsent sur la reconnaissance des peuples autochtones et la mise en oeuvre de leurs droits, à plusieurs échelles. L'adoption de la Déclaration des Nations unies sur les droits des peuples autochtones, en 2007, marque le début d'une nouvelle époque pour que les peuples autochtones puissent participer à la gouvernance globale de Io planète et jouissent de tous leurs droits, y compris le droit à l'autodétermination. Ces droits, qui ont été définis et acceptés à l'échelle internationale, doivent s'exercer aux niveaux locaux, nationaux et régionaux. Le mouvement mondial en faveur des droits des peuples autochtones peut-il changer l'expérience des communautés locales ? Ou bien les concepts et les outils politiques qu'il mobilise sont-ils seulement de l'ordre de discours circulant à l'échelle globale et relativement déconnectés des situations pratiques ? Dons quelle mesure les catégories et les processus concernant les u peuples autochtones" sont-ils une extension des catégories et des processus coloniaux ? Jusqu'à quel point défient-ils les normes et les structures existantes ? Ce livre réunit neuf anthropologues, deux sociologues, une politiste et une juriste pour étudier ces questions à partir de cas situés dans une dizaine de pays. Examinant les dimensions juridiques, historiques, politiques, économiques et culturelles du mouvement pour les droits des peuples autochtones, à l'échelle du globe, du pays ou de la communauté, les chapitres abordent les relations de pouvoir qui éclairent les luttes en cours des peuples autochtones pour défendre leurs droits humains. Ce livre offre un intérêt particulier pour ceux qui s'intéressent aux droits des peuples autochtones et aux mouvements internationaux de droits humains en général.
Download or read book Indigenous Legal Traditions written by Law Commission of Canada and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in this book present important perspectives on the role of Indigenous legal traditions in reclaiming and preserving the autonomy of Aboriginal communities and in reconciling the relationship between these communities and Canadian governments. Although Indigenous peoples had their own systems of law based on their social, political, and spiritual traditions, under colonialism their legal systems have often been ignored or overruled by non-Indigenous laws. Today, however, these legal traditions are being reinvigorated and recognized as vital for the preservation of the political autonomy of Aboriginal nations and the development of healthy communities.

Download or read book Governance of Arctic Offshore Oil and Gas written by Cécile Pelaudeix and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-14 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global energy problems will remain a challenge in the coming decades. The impact of climate change and the melting of polar sea ice opening up access to offshore hydrocarbon resources in the Arctic Ocean, raises questions for both civil society and the scientific community over drilling opportunities in Arctic marine areas. Disparities in approach to the governance of oil and gas extraction in the Arctic arise from fundamental differences in histories, cultures, domestic constraints and substantive values and attitudes in the Arctic coastal states and sub-states. Differing political systems, legal traditions and societal beliefs with regard to energy security and economic development, environmental protection, legitimacy of decision making, and the ownership and respect of the rights of indigenous people, all affect how governance systems of oil and gas extraction are designed. Using a multidisciplinary approach and case studies from the USA, Norway, Russia, Canada, Greenland/Denmark and the EU, this book both examines the current governance of extraction and its effects and considers ways to enhance the efficiency of environmental management and public participation in this system.
Download or read book Contemporary Federalist Thought in Quebec written by Antoine Brousseau Desaulniers and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2023-06-15 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quebec’s most recent attempts to assert its distinctiveness within Canada have relied on unilateral constitutional means to strengthen its French and secular character, suggesting that an important change of political culture has taken place in Quebec. With its diverse team of researchers, Contemporary Federalist Thought in Quebec considers the recent history of the debate that once threatened Canada with disjunction, exploring the federalist thought that continues to shape constitutional debate in Quebec. Examining historical perspectives from 1950 to the present day, the volume draws portraits of the key actors in the federalist movement – including political leaders, intellectuals, academics, activists, and spokespersons for pressure groups – comparing their various outlooks, interventions, and values, and examining the ties that bind these actors to the sense of nationalism that emerged during Quebec’s Quiet Revolution. Taking a multidisciplinary approach, Contemporary Federalist Thought in Quebec casts new light on the continuing debate surrounding Quebec’s place in Canada and gives nuance to what is traditionally conceived as a rigid opposition between sovereigntists and federalists in the province.
Download or read book Canada The State of the Federation 2012 written by Loleen Berdahl and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2015-07-03 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Regional resource disparities and the tensions they generate are a perennial Canadian topic. This edition of Canada: The State of the Federation presents essays on regions, resources, and the resiliency of the Canadian federal system. Contributors consider questions such as: to what extent do Canada’s natural resource industries benefit the Canadian economy? Do Canada’s federal institutions hinder or promote the ability of the economy to respond to global economic shifts? Do current intergovernmental structures allow for constructive dialogue about national policy issues? In responding to these and related questions, many of the authors touch on energy issues. Others consider the importance of functional institutions in a federal or multilevel context as an essential requirement for the effective resolution of issues. Together, the volume raises questions about the relationship of state and society, the importance of identity, trust, and moral legitimacy for the operation of our federal institutions, and the extent to which federal institutions are reinforced or placed under stress by societal structures. The theme of this volume was triggered by Richard Simeon, the outstanding scholar of federalism who passed away in October 2013, and it is dedicated in his honour.

Download or read book Multijuralism written by Albert Breton and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-28 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At one level of generality, multijuralism is the coexistence of two or more legal systems or sub-systems within a broader normative legal order to which they adhere, such as the existence of civil and common law systems within the EU. However, at a finer level of analysis multijuralism is a more widespread or common phenomenon and a more fluid reality than the civil law/common law distinction suggests. The papers in this study are therefore rooted in the latter frame of reference. They explore various types of multijural manifestations from the harmonizing potential of international treaties to indigenous law and the use of hard and soft pluralism. In addition, the authors consider the external events which are not part of the processes of multijural adjustment but which serve to influence these processes. Included among these important external events are European integration, the growing importance accorded to human rights, the international practice of law, the growth of the Internet, the globalization of markets and the flow of immigrants. This volume represents some of the most current thinking in the area of multijuralism and is essential reading for anyone interested in the coexistence of legal systems or sub-systems.

This book was released on 2015-12-15 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ce deuxième Rapport sur la situation du volontariat dans le monde, consacré au volontariat et à la gouvernance, présente lidée que le volontariat et le fait de placer lêtre humain au cur des politiques et des investissements dans le développement offrent des possibilités inexploitées pour le développement durable. Le volontariat est présenté comme une ressource complémentaire et un vecteur dacquisition de compétences, de connaissances et dexpertise qui favorisent lexpression, la participation, la responsabilité et la réactivité, autant de piliers clés de la bonne gouvernance qui viennent sajouter aux autres solutions et ressources du développement. Ce rapport fondé sur un large corpus de données décrit comment le volontariat peut promouvoir la paix et le développement. Il présente les résultats obtenus dans certains contextes et témoigne ainsi des contributions possibles des volontaires et du volontariat. Cet « art du possible » est illustré par des études de cas qui offrent un éventail marquant dexemples illustrant comment les personnes, individuellement et collectivement, mettent en commun leur énergie pour intervenir dans les différents espaces de la gouvernance. Le rapport révèle également que lorsque les gouvernements et les autres acteurs de la gouvernance créent un environnement favorable et invitent la population dans des espaces fermés, cela peut donner lieu à des changements qui bénéficieront dune meilleure appropriation et dun soutien accru.

Download or read book Applied Legal Pluralism written by Ghislain Otis and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-07-15 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a comparative study of the management of legal pluralism. The authors describe and analyse the way state and non-state legal systems acknowledge legal pluralism – defined as the coexistence of a state and non-state legal systems in the same space in respect of the same subject matter for the same population - and determine its consequences for their own purposes. The book sheds light on the management processes deployed by legal systems in Africa, Canada, Central Europe and the South Pacific, the multitudinous factors circumscribing the action of systems and individuals with respect to legal pluralism, and the effects of management strategies and processes on systems as well as on individuals. The book offers fresh practical and analytical insight on applied legal pluralism, a fast-growing field of scholarship and professional practice. Drawing from a wealth of original empirical data collected in several countries by a multilingual and multidisciplinary team, it provides a thorough account of the intricate patterns of state and non-state practices with respect to legal pluralism. As the book’s non-prescriptive approach helps to uncover and evaluate several biases or assumptions on the part of policy makers, scholars and development agencies regarding the nature and the consequences of legal pluralism, it will appeal to a wide range of scholars and practitioners in law, development studies, political science and social sciences.
