WiSe 19/20: The Modern Canadian State: Governance, Identity, and Contemporary Policy Challenges

Julie Sunday

Comments

This seminar offers a critical examination of Canadian democracy and institutional structures, with particular emphasis on issues related to identity and diversity. The course is premised on the notion that understanding Canadian identity, in its multiplicity, is integral to assessing opportunities and constraints in the State’s ability to address contemporary policy challenges. Federal, indigenous, international, and provincial considerations provide a critical lens to assess emerging opportunities and challenges. The course will be structured into three main parts: Part 1: The Canadian State and Structures of Government - Will examine the Constitution, the political executive, the role of the Courts, and the Federal-Provincial-Territorial relationship; Part 2: Canadian Identity - Understanding the Demos - Will explore Quebec nationalism; Crown-Indigenous relations; multiculturalism and immigration; and gender issues; Part 3: Contemporary Policy Challenges - Will critically examine the ability of the State to address key challenges related to the economy, the environment, and foreign affairs. close
