Richard Simeon |
76 pages ISBN: 1-55339-004-0 2002 |

But the questions that have been asked about it, the methods employed to study it, and the normative and policy implications that have been ascribed to it have all varied over the decades. This study explores the work of scholars, primarily English-speaking, with federalism since the 1930s. |

Canada: The State of the Federation 2000-01 Canadian Political Cultures in Transition |
|
 |
Hamish Telford and Harvey Lazar |
ISBN: 0-88911-863-9 |
|
Canada: The State of the Federation 2000/01 probes beneath the surface to determine if the obvious changes - the fractious federal party system, the "common sense revolution" in government budgeting, the re-birth of the sovereignty movement in Quebec, and the re-assertion of Aboriginal claims - are symptomatic of a shift in Canadian political culture. |

Canada: The State of the Federation 1999-2000 Towards a New Mission Statement for Canadian Fiscal Federation |
|
 |
Harvey Lazar |
ISBN: 0-88911-843-4 2000 |
|
Canada: The State of the Federation, 1999-2000 identifies and explains major threads in Canadian fiscal federalism. Set against the cacophony over domineering and arrogant centralization from supporters of Quebec sovereignty/session on the one hand, and fears that excessive decentralization is fuelling an obsessively neo-liberal agenda on the other, these essays replace much of this heat with new light. |

Canada: The State of the Federation 1998-99 How Canadians Connect |
|
 |
Harvey Lazar and Tom McIntosh |
1999 ISBN: 0-88911-779-9 |
|
The last twenty or so years have seen a different kind of state emerge in Canada and elsewhere. The questioning of Keynesian macroeconomic policy in light of crises in Western economies coupled with the rise of neo-conservative and neo-liberal politics (and the attendant rethinking of the modern state's regulatory and redistributive roles) has resulted in significant restructuring and retrenchment of the state in Canada, both federal and provincial. Similarly, Canadians' sense of citizenship has undergone significant changes that need to be explored. Canada: The State of the Federation 1998 is a timely exploration of the current state of the ties that bind the federation together. |

States and Provinces in the International Economy |
|
|
Douglas M. Brown and Earl H. Fry |
1993 0-87772-335-4 |
|
This book is the joint effort of researchers from academic institutions across North America to examine the role of the constituent governments in the American and Canadian federal systems in shaping the impact of the international economy. Leading economists, political scientists and legal scholars take a hard look at what the states and provinces are up to. They examine the detailed impact of the international economy on local economic circumstances in North America, the impact of state and provincial governments on trade policy and law, the increasing degree of direct state-provincial relations to cooperate in meeting economic challenges, the fierce competition for trade and investment dollars, and the effect of all this activity on national economic policy made in Washington or Ottawa. Part of the output of an important set of comparative studies under the North American Federalism Project, this book will be of value to the study of economics, industry, and trade policy, as well as emerging trends in federalism in Canada and the United States. |

Challenges to Federalism: Policy-Making in Canada and the Federal Republic of Germany |
|
|
William M. Chandler and Christian W. Zollner |
1986 ISBN: 0-88911-459-5 |
|
The contributions to this volume seek to address within specific policy contexts the central problem of the workability of federalism. They do so by bringing together analyses drawn from the politics and policy processes found in two dissimilar federal orders, Canada and the Federal Republic of Germany. The various essays also integrate the experiences of two types of observers, practitioners (public servants) and academics. In this way, the task of evaluating the suitability of federal arrangements for confronting the dilemmas of modern politics may benefit from the sharing of knowledge across both international and professional boundaries. |

The Committee on the Extension of Services to Northern and Remote Communities was created by the federal Minister of Communications and the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) in the fall of 1979.

Does Canada Need a New Electoral System? |
|
|
William P. Irvine |
1979, ISBN: 0-8991-011-5 |
|
This study was the first in a series of monographys to be published under the general title: Queen's Studies on the Future of the Canadian Communities. W.P. Irvine has developed a persuasive case for substantial modification of the Canadian electoral system in the direction of greater proportionality. He clearly demonstrates some of the perverse effects of the present system. It accentuates the regional imbalances in party support, and underrepresents important segments of opinion in the House of Commons and cabinet. This analysis leads him to propose a revised system. He carefully explores the range of alternatives available to policy-makers, and examines in detail their pros, cons, and likely effects in the Canadian context. |

Securing the Social Union: A Commentary on the Decentralized Approach |
|
|
Steven A. Kennet |
Research paper (former the Discussion Papers Series), 1998 |
|
Proposals for a more decentralized approach to securing the social union have been at the centre of a lively debate regarding social policy in Canada. This monograph provides a detailed critique of the decentralized model, focusing particularly on the influential and controversial ACCESS paper by Queen's University economist Thomas J. Courchene. The key presimes to this critique is that the development and enforcement of national principles or standards throught interprovincial or federal-provincial mechanism represents a significant collective action problem. |

Position Paper - Access to Survival: A Perspective on Aboriginal Self-Government for the Constituency of the Native Council of Canada |
|
|
Martin Dunn |
1986, ISBN: 0-88911-431-5 |
|
This paper is designed to describe the perspective of the Native Council of Canada (NCC) on the subject of Aboriginal self-government for NCC constituents. The constituency, itself, is outlined with a description of the circumstances in which our peoples find themselves. The inequities this constituency faces (compared to Aboriginal peoples) are delineated in the context of the specific accommodations required to ensure this constituency has equitable access to the Aboriginal right of self-government. The mechanisms, institutions, and functions of self-government are then discussed in the context of this constituency's various requirements. |

Final Paper - Aboriginal Peoples and Constitutional Reform: What Have We Learned? |
|
|
David C. Hawkes |
1989, ISBN: 0-88911-558-3 |
|
As a result of the Constitution Act, 1982 (as amended), a series of conferences were held on the subject of aboriginal peoples and constitutional reform. These constitutional negotiations, highlighted by First Ministers' Conferences in 1983, 1984, 1985 and 1987, failed to reach an accord on the crucial subject of aboriginal self-government. This study examines the assumptions underlying the negotiations and the key issues that emerged. |
