The first objective is to convince readers that federalism is the primary animating force in Canadian politics, and that it is therefore worth engaging with its complex nature and dynamic. The second objective is to bring into closer focus the contested concepts about the meaning and operation of federalism that are at the root of the divide between English Canada and Quebec in particular. The third objective is to give recognition to the trajectory of Canada\u0026amp;#x2019;s Indigenous peoples in the context of Canadian federalism, from years of abusive neglect to belated efforts of inclusion. The book focuses on the constitution with its ambiguous allocation of divided powers, the pivotal role of the courts in balancing these powers, and the political leaders whose interactions oscillate between intergovernmental conflict and cooperation. This focus on executive leadership and judicial supervision is framed by considerations of Canada\u0026amp;#x2019;s regionalized political economy and cultural diversity, giving students a compelling and nuanced view of federalism in Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrologue: Approaches to Canadian Federalism\u003cbr\u003eA Personal Account by Means of Acknowledgement\u003cbr\u003eContested Concepts as the Underlying Dynamic and Central Theme\u003cbr\u003eOrganization and Outline\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 An Introductory Understanding of Canadian Federalism\u003cbr\u003eShared Sovereignty\u003cbr\u003ePower of the Courts\u003cbr\u003eSunny Ways of Compromise\u003cbr\u003eFiscal Imbalance\u003cbr\u003eExecutive Dominance\u003cbr\u003eImperfection\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Confederation\u003cbr\u003eComing Together Lately\u003cbr\u003eRelics of Empire\u003cbr\u003eUnitary Impositions\u003cbr\u003eFederal Accommodations\u003cbr\u003eParliamentary Concessions\u003cbr\u003e\"Indians\" \u003cbr\u003eAn Incomplete Contract\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Judicial Interpretations\u003cbr\u003ePith and Substance\u003cbr\u003eFrom Need to Necessity\u003cbr\u003eBeyond Provincial Concern\u003cbr\u003eFederalism Demands Nothing Less\u003cbr\u003eLaw and Politics\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 From a Crisis of Capitalism to a Crisis of Federalism\u003cbr\u003eDramatic Crisis and BNA Act Federalism at a Loss\u003cbr\u003ePrairie Populism\u003cbr\u003eEnlightened Reactionaries\u003cbr\u003eRowell-Sirois Commission\u003cbr\u003eReversal of Functions\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Mostly Fiscal Relations\u003cbr\u003eTax Sharing\u003cbr\u003eCost Sharing\u003cbr\u003eFiscal Equalization\u003cbr\u003eUnder the Indian Act\u003cbr\u003eFiscal Imbalance and the Spending Power\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Difference, Dependency, and Displacement\u003cbr\u003eQuebec Nationalism\u003cbr\u003eWestern Alienation\u003cbr\u003eEastern Dependencies\u003cbr\u003eIndigenous Displacement\u003cbr\u003eRegionalism and Federalism\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Patriation and the Constitution Act, 1982\u003cbr\u003eThe Long Road to Patriation\u003cbr\u003eAmendment\u003cbr\u003eCharter\u003cbr\u003eAboriginal Rights\u003cbr\u003eFlexible Renewal\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 The Unfinished Business of Canadian Federalism\u003cbr\u003eConstitutional Politics\u003cbr\u003eSecession and Clarity\u003cbr\u003eInterstate Federalism and Intrastate Federalism\u003cbr\u003eIndigenous Land Rights and Self-Government\u003cbr\u003eShifting Identities\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 Contested Concepts of Canadian Federalism\u003cbr\u003eA Plural Compact of Provinces or a Dual Compact of Nationalities?\u003cbr\u003eHow Much Autonomy or Interdependence?\u003cbr\u003eTreaty Federalism\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEpilogue: Still a Federal Country\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eBibliography\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52588178997528,"sku":"9781442636460","price":57.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/federalism-in-canada-contested-concepts-and-uneasy-balances-hardback-9781442636460","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
