Young interprets codification as part of a larger process that included the collapse of the Lower Canadian rebellions, the decline of seigneurialism, expansion of bourgeois democracy in central Canada, professionalization of the bar, and formation of the institutional state. Central to codification was a profound ideological shift in Lower Canadian society that gave priority to exchange and individual property rights. Young examines the evolution of codification from its nationalist origins in the 1820s and 1830s into a Civil Code that was integral to Confederation and became a flagship of bilingualism in Quebec. The formation of the commission, the work of the codifiers, and the reaction of the anglophone minority and the Roman Catholic hierarchy are considered, as is the Code's meticulous blending of a conservative social vision with the principles of freedom of property.The Politics of Codification will be of great interest to students of law, members of the legal professions, and Canadian social and legal historians.

Resnick begins Toward a Canada-Quebec Union with an exploration of the conflicting notions of federalism -- and of Canada itself -- that contributed to the demise of the Meech Lake Accord and to the Conservative government's agenda for constitutional reform.He presents an enlightened interpretation of English Canada and Quebec as distinct sociological nations, reveals the deficiencies inherent in official bilingualism and biculturalism, and rejects both the existing form of federalism and the much-touted sovereignty-association as viable constitutional alternatives for the future.The global trend, Resnick observes, is away from the centralized nation-state, and he shows the dangers of sovereignty for Quebec to be very real, both economically and -- given the power of the American colossus -- culturally.Resnick proposes the establishment of separate parliaments and governments in English Canada and Quebec, to be linked by a new institutional arrangement that he calls the Canada-Quebec Union.Reflecting passionately on what Canada and Canadians have suffered recently, he calls for a more open and democratic process of constitutional change that would entail elected constitutional assemblies.He deals also with the two vitally important questions of minority rights and the threat, for all of Canada, of Americanization.Toward a Canada-Quebec Union will provoke strong responses, whether ardently supportive or vehemently critical.There can, however, be no question that Resnick's constructive approach to Canada's constitutional crisis -- seeking a viable alternative to the status quo -- is the necessary first step toward a solution.

What kind of a country is Canada beyond Quebec? With a referendum on Quebec sovereignty looming on the horizon, this is a question Canadians are being forced to ask. In Beyond Quebec scholars from a wide variety of disciplines examine the current political, cultural, economic, and social situation of Canada outside Quebec and speculate on the nature of a Canada that does not include Quebec on the present terms.

Editorial Review Product Description This book, written by two Canadian political scientists, proposes a reassessment of the theories on transition, and, by the same token, a new look at the societal dynamics of white settlers' colonies. Using colonial Quebec under British rule as their case study, the authors put forth an interpretive analysis which brings to light the fundamental social and economic processes that have shaped contemporary Quebec. In doing so, this work departs from mainstream Canadian historical and social science approached resting on the traditional institutional perspective. ... Read more

Why was this issue avoided for so long, how has Canada tried to deal with it, and what is to be done now?

Editorial Review Product Description Adolphe Chapleau, former Premier of Quebec, Secretary of State in Ottawa, and Lieutenant-Governor of Quebec, has been recognized by many as the hinge that allowed Quebec to switch from Conservative dominance under Macdonald to Liberal dominance under Laurier. The prevailing interpretation of his failure blames the English-speaking Conservative anti-French attitudes. This work contends that while there was tension between English and French-speaking Conservatives, the real reason for Chapleau's failure rested on his own shoulders, his personal inability to dominate Quebec. ...
