The editors and contributors to this study examine the future of
domestic and foreign relations between Canada, Quebec, and their
neighbors in the event of a yes vote on independence. They approach
the possible emergence of an independent Quebec nation-state from
the perspective of the study of world politics. As they suggest,
this is particularly important because ethnic-based secessionist
movements throughout the world now challenge our understanding of
the supposed stability of the nation state within geographical
regions and even the operation of states within global political
and economic systems.
They examine the implications of a sovereign Quebec with special
reference to ethnic-based secession as a dimension of the emerging
post cold war international system. In this context, the possible
devolution of Canada is an event of enormous significance not only
for North America, but also Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Middle
East. Given the evolving literature on minorities at risk,
ethnicity, ethnonationalism, and ethnic conflict, the prospect of a
sovereign Quebec and the devolution of Canada are possible events
that may well define the study of world politics well into the 21st
century. This book is an important addition for scholars,
researchers, students, and concerned citizens interested in
intranational relations and ethnicity and Canadian studies.
