Canada and the United States explains, across fifteen diverse
areas, why and how Canada and the United States are still so
different. The book discusses whether or not these differences are
growing, the key results of such differences, and the major
challenges to be faced in each system. Focusing on institutions,
political cultures, and social values, the book shows how both
federal systems are extremely complex and how our institutions,
cultures, and historical experiences often lead to very different
outcomes. The fifth edition discusses the emergence of vital new
issues, including the pandemic and its effects, climate change,
energy requirements, vastly increasing international tensions, and
new trade problems. This up-to-date edition discusses massive
budgetary changes, an ongoing political crisis in the US with a
former president convincing millions of his followers that the
election was a hoax, and new forms of protest emerging in Canada.
It includes discussion questions, data sources, and detailed
endnotes for further reading. Written by leading scholars in their
field, Canada and the United States reveals how two countries
compare when dealing with similar problems that often spill across
the border.
This book, the 32nd volume in the Canada Among Nations series,
looks to the wide array of foreign policy challenges, choices and
priorities that Canada confronts in relations with the US where the
line between international and domestic affairs is increasingly
blurred. In the context of the Canada-US relationship, this
blurring is manifest as a cooperative effort by officials to manage
aspects of the relationship in which bilateral institutional
cooperation goes on largely unnoticed. Chapters in this volume
focus on longstanding issues reflecting some degree of Canada-US
coordination, if not integration, such as trade, the environment
and energy. Other chapters focus on emerging issues such as drug
policies, energy, corruption and immigration within the context of
these institutional arrangements.
Sessions XXXVIII-1,2 of UISPP 2018 in Paris were dedicated to
monumental constructions and to complex exchange networks in the
Pacific. Both topics have been extensively commented on and
described by indigenous experts, explorers, missionaries, and
scholars over the last two centuries, however these have been made
famous only for the most impressive examples such as the moai
statues of Rapa Nui (Easter Island) or the kula exchange system of
the Trobriand Islands. Some of the latest research on these key
aspects of Pacific islands societies are made available in this
volume to researchers focusing on the region, but also to a more
global scientific community and to the general public. The volume
reflects the tremendous progress made in Pacific island archaeology
in the last 60 years which has considerably advanced our knowledge
of early Pacific island societies, the rise of traditional cultural
systems, and their later historical developments from European
contact onwards. Interdisciplinarity is particularly stimulating in
the Pacific region, where the study of the archaeological record
and of chronological sequences are often combined with other kinds
of information such as ethnohistorical accounts, oral traditions,
and linguistic reconstructions, in the French tradition of
ethnoarche ologie and the American tradition of historical
anthropology.
In 1984, famous political scientist Charles Doran argued in his
landmark book Forgotten Partnership that Canada-US relations were
at a crossroads. Structural asymmetries, divergent interests, and
both strategic and tactical missteps by Ottawa and Washington
risked undermining the postwar comity and cooperation between the
two countries. Back in 1984, Doran lamented the deterioration of
"partnership" in Canada-U.S. relations. A major premise of this
book is that Doran's analysis is worth revisiting in a contemporary
setting. Following Doran's original analytical framework, Forgotten
Partnership Redux is organized around the same three "dimensions"
of Canada-U.S. relations-political-strategic, trade-commercial, and
psychocultural. The foremost authorities have been selected to
contribute to this volume for their specific areas of expertise,
with the aim of revisiting these specific dimensions in a
contemporary setting. What sets Forgotten Partnership Redux apart
is how the world's leading experts on Canada-U.S. relations revisit
Doran's Forgotten Partnership, one of the most important works ever
produced in the field. Their insights augment the scholarly debate
initiated over two decades ago and cast significant light on the
present and the future of the two nations and their global impact.
For those who have not read Forgotten Partnership, this volume will
serve as an important introduction to many of the same themes, but
set in contemporary scholarly and policy debates.
Frederik IX and Queen Ingrid were the Danish royal couple from 1947
until 1972, when King Frederik died and was succeeded by his eldest
daughter, Queen Margrethe II. In contrast to his predecessors,
Frederik IX was seen as a man of the people, and thanks to the
influence of Queen Ingrid he endowed his reign with kingly dignity.
Together they modernized the Danish monarchy and came to symbolize
an exemplary modern Danish nuclear family. They mastered the art of
being both popular and royal in a time in which handling of the
media became increasingly important for the monarchy.
