| Synopsis: |
Qu bec: State and Society, third edition acts as a mirror to a society that continues to transform itself, that adjusts to changes taking place on the international scene, while providing an understanding of Qu bec's unique experience within the world. This completely revised edition is composed of twenty-two original and comprehensive essays on key issues and themes that constitute present-day Qu bec politics, written by prominent and widely published specialists in areas as diverse as political science, sociology, economics, demography, and history. As a result, this book provides a full account the historical and contemporary Qu bec environment and offers premises for developments to come. This edition distinguishes itself by proposing five main themes for surveying the Qu bec condition, each with its own section. The first of these, "Qu bec Today: Memory, Identity, and Pluralism", contains essays on historical and contemporary identity narratives and counter-narratives in Qu bec, including aboriginal/state debates. "Governance" explores issues of Qu bec public administration, business-government relations, and federal and international relations."Political Parties and Social Movements" discusses a series of fundamental questions on the role exercised by the various elements of civil society in Qu bec, ranging from the relevance of political parties to the diversity of social movements. "Education, Language, and Immigration" delves into developments in long-standing issues at the heart of the challenge of pluralism in Qu bec. "Territoriality, Globalization, and International Relations" tackles questions faced by every contemporary society and proposes new arenas for research for Qu bec. |
