Since the rise of the Canadian welfare state in the aftermath of
the Second World War, the politics of social policy and fiscal
federalism have been at the centre of federal-provincial relations.
Recent events have given impetus for scholars to re-examine these
issues. In 2002, the Quebec Commission on Fiscal Imbalance released
its report, which introduced the term 'vertical fiscal imbalance'
into the vocabulary of Canadian politics. Essentially, the
commission determined that a disjunction between revenue-raising
capacity and expenditures involving different orders of government
- vertical fiscal imbalance - was an urgent problem that must be
addressed. Dilemmas of Solidarity is both a reflection on and
response to that finding. Editors Sujit Choudhry, Jean-Francois
Graudreault-Desbiens, and Lorne Sossin bring together an array of
respected legal and political scholars to reflect on the Quebec
Commission's findings. The contributors to this volume illustrate
how recent debates surrounding Canada's equalization program
suggest alternative ways to approach the issue. The goal of
Dilemmas of Solidarity is to stand back from the particulars of
different policy debates, to enable scholars to reflect on basic
questions regarding redistribution. This fascinating collection
will undoubtedly inform a more nuanced and wide-ranging debate both
among academics and policy practitioners than has occurred in this
past. Contributors: Paul Boothe Katherine Boothe Sujit Choudhry
