SoSe 17: Federalism and Diversity: The Canadian Federation in Comparative Perspective
Jean Remi Carbonneau
Kommentar
Federalism is a central feature of the political life in Canada since its foundation in 1867. This course aims to present the current issues at stake in the Canadian federation and situate them in relation to other Western federal systems, and especially to the United States. The first part of the seminar explores the difference between federalism and federation, the types of federations, as well as the political motives behind the establishment of a federal arrangement. The second part presents the origins and main institutions of the Canadian federation, their impact on state stability and cultural diversity. Here a particular attention will be paid to jurisdictional conflicts between the federal government and the Province of Quebec, and to the First Nations's quest for autonomy and recognition. The last section draws comparisons with institutional dynamics in other federal systems, and seeks to understand their respective implications for state governance and cultural diversity. Schließen
