Download or read book Federalism Citizenship and Quebec written by Alain G. Gagnon and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2006-12-02 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Canadians often imagine their country as a multicultural democracy, while a few go further to claim that the country's diversity can be characterized as multinational in its social and institutional make-up. In Federalism, Citizenship, and Quebec, Alain-G. Gagnon and Raffaele Iacovino reveal how this notion has been falsely presented to the populace. Through comprehensive historical, contemporary, and critical accounts, they argue that the country has been the object of an aggressive nationalizing project that contravenes the principles of a 'multinational federation.' Gagnon and Iacovino defend a conception of diverse citizenship for Canada that is truly suitable to a durable and just constitutional association and provide an alternative path for the country based on normative, socio-political, and practical considerations associated with multinational democracy. Including a detailed account of the main challenges associated with Quebec's place in the federation, Federalism, Citizenship, and Quebec stands apart from other English-language studies on multinational democracy, citizenship, and federalism, and, most notably, multinational democracy in Canada. Gagnon and Iacovino ground their work in both history and theory, offering a truly interdisciplinary approach that will appeal to scholars from fields as diverse as Canadian and Quebec politics, comparative politics, and political and legal theory. The book will contribute to awareness of the need for appreciating diversity in contemporary societies while being a useful addition to English Canadian students in these fields, who often lack exposure to many of the rich debates proceeding in Quebec.

Download or read book The Case for Multinational Federalism written by Alain-G. Gagnon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-09-10 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the world, liberal-democracies are grappling with increasing claims made in the name of minority national, socio-cultural and ethno-cultural identities that seek greater recognition in the institutions of the nation-state. This work inserts itself into debates centred on diversity through a normative and empirical analytical assessment of the political sociology of multinational democracies. The main thread of the arguments put forward is that federalism, in both its institutional manifestations and its sociological properties, constitutes a promising avenue for the management of cohabitating political communities and for the affirmation of collective identities within states that are constituted by two or more nations. Author Alain-G Gagnon develops his argument by contending that the federal principle allows for the exercise of advanced democratic practices within nation-states, permitting internal nations to openly affirm the bases of adherence to a common political project. At the same time, he argues that federalism nourishes the development of distinct collective traditions that serve to benefit all parties to the association. It is concluded that only in such a scenario will the elusive pursuit of an authentic and shared loyalty underpin multination states and ensure their stability, in contrast to the instrumental sentiments of belonging engendered by procedural territorial federal models. Focusing primarily on the Canadian case, this book also draws inspiration from other federal states (Belgium, the United States), as well as federalizing states (Spain, the United Kingdom). It will be of keen interest to students and scholars of Politics, European Studies, along with Nationalism and Federalism Studies.

This book was released on 2018-08-20T00:00:00-04:00 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depuis 2006, le Québec débat âprement des règles gouvernant la laïcité de ses institutions et se trouve confronté à deux modèles apparemment irréconciliables : le républicanisme « jacobin » et le libéralisme individualiste, issus respectivement de la France et du Canada. En s’inspirant de la pensée du philosophe politique John Rawls, les auteurs proposent ici d’explorer une voie médiane mieux adaptée à l’expérience québécoise. Dans ses travaux tardifs, Rawls met en avant une forme de libéralisme républicain affranchi de l’individualisme normatif de Kant et de Mill et récuse le paternalisme qui vise à imposer aux citoyens une certaine éthique de vie. Tout en étant neutre à l’égard des conceptions individualiste et communautarienne de la personne, il cherche à équilibrer les droits collectifs des peuples avec les droits individuels des personnes. C’est donc une conception strictement institutionnelle de la laïcité que présentent les auteurs, qui redéfinissent au passage l’interculturalisme, la liberté rationnelle et le consentement, ainsi que l’expérience religieuse, qui devient hybride, à la fois subjective et objective. En se servant de Rawls, ils expliquent clairement pourquoi l’expression de la religion fait partie de la liberté religieuse, mais aussi pourquoi il faut faire la distinction entre les objets qui relèvent des libertés fondamentales et ceux qui sont sujets à des accommodements. Ils tracent ainsi une authentique troisième voie, qui pourrait bien faire sortir de l’impasse le débat québécois sur la laïcité.

Download or read book Immigration and Self government of Minority Nations written by Ricard Zapata-Barrero and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2009 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the last two decades, the debate on multiculturalism has been one-dimensional. It has deployed arguments related to cultural demands linked either to feminism, immigration, or national minorities. Little attention has been given to the relations between these dimensions, and how they affect each other. The purpose of this book is to set a research agenda around the interaction between cultural demands of immigrants and minority nations. The primary aim is to establish basic normative arguments while advancing an institutional analysis in three contexts: Quebec, Flanders and Catalonia. Each part contains two chapters that address the topic in terms of how immigration is seen from a self-government perspective, or how self-government is interpreted from an immigration perspective. The different chapters raise questions related to how this interaction challenges the idea of a culturally homogeneous nation-state, and also pushes us to other conceptualisations of «political community» and de-nationalised forms of citizenship. Current debates on diversity have failed to address these issues in societies where a dual belonging exists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La transculturalité constitue une nouvelle façon de concevoir les cultures, c’est-àdire non plus comme des îlots distincts, mais plutôt comme des réseaux interactifs de sens et de pratiques. Ces identités transculturelles qui n’entrent pas aisément dans le seul moule d’une nation ou d’une ethnie abondent particulièrement dans les Amériques, par exemple les Chicanos, les Franco-Ontariens, les Créoles et les immigrants de deuxième et de troisième génération. De Québec à l’Argentine, cet ouvrage se penche sur ces identités qui se construisent au carrefour de la similitude et de la différence. -- Transculturality is a new way of viewing culture that sees cultures not as separate islands that are easily differentiated from one another, but as connected and interacting webs of meaning and practice. The Americas in particular offer many examples of transcultural identities that do not fit easily into one national or ethnic mold: Chicanos, Franco-Ontarians, Creoles, and second and third generation immigrants. From Quebec to Argentina, this volume explores these identities which create themselves in a space between sameness and difference.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comment analyser les relations entre « identité collective » et « diversité culturelle » dans les États, provinces et régions où se concentrent des identités ou des groupes nationaux minoritaires ? Cet ouvrage propose une lecture plurielle des expériences québécoises, canadiennes et européennes : autant de contextes où s'entrecroisent des revendications d'ordre culturel, politique, religieux, linguistique... La rencontre des points de vue permet ainsi d'appréhender avec force les conditions dans lesquelles les exigences nationalitaires se conjuguent avec des allégeances et des identités multiples. On comprend mieux alors comment, dans ces territoires, s'invente et s'expérimente, avec des effets politiques et institutionnels de première importance, l'agencement entre nationalisme et pluralisme.

This book was released on 2013-02-05T11:47:02-05:00 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le projet de ce livre est né après la publication du rapport de la Commission Bouchard-Taylor, en mai 2008, avec pour objectif de recueillir les réactions d’universitaires sur le contenu du rapport et, plus largement, sur l’état de la diversité au Québec. Le symposium Penser la diversité québécoise, organisé à l’automne 2008 à l’UQAM, a réuni les différents collaborateurs de cet ouvrage et a servi de point de départ aux discussions et délibérations des auteurs. Le débat sur la diversité au Québec est loin d’être clos, comme le démontrent l’actualité politique ainsi que les idées et opinions exprimées dans les médias – pluralisme, laïcité, accommodements raisonnables, diversité... Ce livre apporte une contribution originale en ce sens qu’il cherche, au-delà de l’enjeu des accommodements culturels, à replacer le débat sur le pluralisme culturel et religieux dans le contexte du devenir de la nation québécoise. La diversité est devenue un incontournable dans la définition du vivre-ensemble au Québec. En réponse à la « crise » des accommodements raisonnables, la Commission Bouchard-Taylor devait clarifier les rapports entretenus par la société québécoise avec le pluralisme culturel et religieux, et recommander des ajustements souhaitables. Or, deux ans après le dépôt du rapport final de la commission, ses deux principales recommandations – un énoncé de politique sur l’interculturalisme et un livre blanc sur la laïcité – sont restées lettre morte. Pourquoi ? Le statu quo n’est certes pas une option, et le retour à une certaine paix sociale dans les rapports interculturels ne justifie pas l’inertie politique. Les Québécois demeurent en quête de repères collectifs et communautaires permettant de concilier les différences et la vie commune. Ce livre dresse un constat sans complaisance du rapport Bouchard-Taylor et s’interroge sur les particularités de la diversité au Québec. Il cherche également à replacer le débat sur le pluralisme dans le contexte de la précarité de la nation québécoise dans l’ensemble canadien.
