This is a story of how a group of largely provincial civil servants
and politicians came together in the face of neoliberal hegemony to
advance the national child Benefit, national children's, Agenda and
Social Union Framework Agreement. This study peers behind the
ideology of media-speak to show how Canadian federalism was made to
work and where it failed to work. It peers deeply into the Canadian
political economy to understand the role of these social programs
in the context of globalization. Students of social policy will
find it most informative as they contemplate the structures and
processes needed for implementing social programs in a federalist
system.
These twelve essays constitute a groundbreaking volume of new work
prepared by leading scholars in the fields of history,
anthropology, constitutional law, political science, and sociology,
who identify the many facets of what it means to be Metis in Canada
today. After the Powley decision in 2003, Metis people were no
longer conceptually limited to the historical boundaries of the fur
trade in Canada. Key ideas explored in this collection include
identity, rights, and issues of governance, politics, and
economics. The book will be of great interest to scholars in
political science and native studies, the legal community, public
administrators, government policy advisors, and people seeking to
better understand the Metis past and present. Contributors:
Christopher Adams, Gloria Jane Bell, Glen Campbell, Gregg Dahl,
Janique Dubois, Tom Flanagan, Liam J. Haggarty, Laura-Lee Kearns,
Darren O'Toole, Jeremy Patzer, Ian Peach, Siomonn P. Pulla, Kelly
L. Saunders.
Governance of the federation is more complex today than ever
before: perennial issues of federalism remain unresolved, conflicts
continue over the legitimacy of federal spending power, and the
accommodation of Quebec nationalism and Aboriginal self-government
within the federation is a persistent and precarious concern. From
discussions on democracy and distinctiveness to explorations of
self-governance and power imbalances, Constructing Tomorrow's
Federalism tests assertions from scholars and practitioners on the
legitimacy and future of the state of the federation. In this broad
collection of essays, fifteen scholars and political leaders
identify options for the future governance of Canada and contribute
to a renewed civic discourse on what it means to govern ourselves
as a liberal democracy and a multinational federation.
