SoSe 16: Canadian Federalism in Comparative Perspective
Jean Remi Carbonneau
Kommentar
Federalism is a central feature of 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. The first part of the seminar explores the differences between federalism and federation as well as the political motives behind the establishment of a federal arrangement in a given state. The second part presents the origins and main institutions of the Canadian federation, their impact on cultural diversity and state stability; it also addresses the political conflicts related to it, especially in regard of the province of Québec and the Native and Inuit quest for territorial autonomy. The last section draws comparisons with institutional dynamics in other federal systems and seeks to understand their respective implications for different groups such as national and linguistic minorities.
