Book Description
The failure of the May 1980 Quebec referendum on sovereignty and the ratification in 1982 of a Canadian constitution, over Quebec's vehement objection but with the acquiescence of all other provinces, would appear to indicate that the likelihood of Quebec's independence has been sharply reduced, if not eliminated. Not so, is the considered judgment

Theory and Practice of Paradiplomacy
Author: Alexander S Kuznetsov
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317812573
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 185
Book Description
This book examines and systematises the theoretical dimensions of paradiplomacy - the role of subnational governments in international relations. Throughout the world, subnational governments play an active role in international relations by participating in international trade, cultural missions and diplomatic relations with foreign powers. These governments, including states in the USA and landers in Germany, can sometimes even challenge the official foreign policy of their national government. These activities, which are regularly promoting the subnational government’s interests, have been labelled as ‘paradiplomacy’. Through a systematisation of the different approaches in understanding constituent diplomacy, the author constructs an integrative theoretical explanatory framework to guide research on regional governments’ involvement in international affairs. The framework is based on a multiple-response questionnaire technique (MRQ) which provides the matrix of possible answers on a set of key questions for paradiplomacy scholarship. This comprehensive analysis of the phenomenon of paradiplomacy sheds light on the development of federalism and multi-level governance in a new global environment and contributes to the debates on the issue of 'actorness' in contemporary international affairs. This book will be of much interest to students of diplomacy, federalism, governance, foreign policy and IR, as well as practitioners of diplomacy.

Contemporary Quebec and the United States, 1960-1985
Author: Alfred Olivier Hero
Publisher: [Cambridge, Mass.] : Center for International Affairs, Harvard University ; Lanham, Md. : University Press of America
ISBN:
Category : Canada
Languages : en
Pages : 558
Book Description
In Contemporary Quebec and the United States, 1960-1985 two leading scholars of Quebec's recent past and future prospects have created the first comprehensive exploration in nearly half a century of Quebec's most important political, economic, and social relations outside of Canada-those with the United States. Drawing on nearly a decade of systematic empirical research from the Quiet Revolution through the departures of Prime Minister Trudeau in 1984 and of the Parti Quebe_ois from power in Quebec in 1985, the authors contend that enduring nationalist sentiment among Quebec's francophones will lead to the resurgence of the movement for independence unless English-speaking Canada accepts wider Quebec autonomy within the Canadian federation. They believe that this nationalism, strongly critical of anglophone Canada but by-and-large favorable to the United States, will become more willing to accept the risks of independence as Quebec's economic and other links with its superpower neighbor continue to grow. This provocative and insightful study will be a standard work for years to come. Co-published with the Harvard Center for International Affairs.

The Territorial Dimension Of Politics
Author: Ivo D. Duchacek
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000306259
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 325
Book Description
This comparative study examines the dialectical tensions between global and regional interdependence and the fragmentation of humankind into territorial entities. Political authority may remain territory-bound, but borders increasingly are penetrated by pollutants, individuals, noncentral governments in search of foreign trade and investment, and transnational corporations, as well as the traditional exchanges of trade, media, and culture. The result of these transborder flows, accelerated by new technologies, is a new variety of international relations among “perforated sovereignties.†Dr. Duchacek analyzes the territorial organization of political authority in both democratic and authoritarian frameworks as well as in unitary and federal systems. Case studies focus on new forms of transborder interactions between neighboring countries, especially in North America and in Western Europe. The book is of major interest to scholars in the fields of political science and political economy. Quotations from a variety of political theorists and practitioners, illustrative diagrams, and maps make the book suitable for students of comparative politics, international relations, comparative federalism, and public policy.
