This one is for all of us. ii Acknowledgements The success of this project was made possible by several groups and individuals. Their efforts on my behalf are greatly appreciated by the author who only hopes that the product adequately reflects their support. First, I would like to thank my dissertation committee. Paul Barrette offered advice and information that did more to facilitate this project than I can give him credit for. Sherry Cable offered continual support and stylistic advice that made the writing process much more fluid. Harry Dahms is responsible for engaging my intellectual curiosity in Jürgen Habermas and showed tremendous patience with my struggles in understanding all he had to offer. Asafa Jalata provided substantial intellectual inspiration and always ensured that I would never forget my greater human responsibilities. Finally, Jon Shefner’s advice, skills, support, patience, and humor were invaluable to the point that I cannot show sufficient gratitude here. You never lost faith in my abilities and you never let me forget my weaknesses – both of which were essential. Earning your trust was one of the most gratifying experiences of my life. Financial and logistic support for fieldwork in Montréal and Ottawa was made possible by a Canadian Studies Graduate Student Fellowship administered by Foreign Affairs Canada through the Canadian Embassy in Washington, D.C. Dan Abele and Emilian Papadopoulos were especially supportive of my project and scholarship. The Québec government was equally generous by providing grant support through the Québec Studies Program administered by the Ministère des Relations internationales and the tireless efforts of Yanick Godbout. Additional grant support was provided by the iii W.K. McClure Fund for the Study of World Affairs at the University of Tennessee and the generous support and assistance of Elizabeth Gregor. Ms. Gregor was particularly selfless with her time and efforts on my behalf for a period of several years during this project’s conceptual stages. Several individuals must be recognized for their friendly support and exhaustive knowledge: William Floch at Heritage Canada; Katia Bellai-Trottier and Ghislain Malette at the Canadian National Archives; Estelle Brisson at the Archives nationals du Québec; Olga Tzotis at Statistics Canada; Eleanor Read at the Social Sciences Data Services Division of the University of Tennessee Library System; Pierre Anctil, Philippe Couton, and Leslie Laczko at the University of Ottawa; Yolande Frenette at the Ministère de l’Immigration et des Communautés culturelles; Denise Plamondon at Hydro-Québec; and Stephane Pronovost at Développement économique Canada. I would like to thank Nancy Brannon, Kyle Goldberg, George Gondo, Jeremy Honeycutt, Sarah Wegrzyn, Evan Weissman, and Sammy Zahran for taking the time to read selected chapters and offer perpetually helpful suggestions. Chuck Wright offered substantial conceptual help and, in fact, motivated much of the initial idea behind the project. Sean Huss and Lisa Zilney deserve special thanks for their timeless conversations and ideas that contributed to this project, my intellectual development, and my understanding of the world around me. Finally, I want to thank Terro Nelson for his vision, unequivocal love, and inspirational life. You may never read this but you’ll never be forgotten. I want to thank my entire family for their uncompromising belief in me and my dreams. My sisters, Liane and Anna, have provided support and inspiration throughout iv my life. This project proved no exception to that rule. My mother and father worked their entire lives to provide me with the opportunity to succeed. I am elated to tell them that their love and devotion were a complete success. I may not be nearby, but thanks to you I will always be a New Englander who continually works his ass off for those he loves and the causes he cares about. You deserve all the credit and honor – your sacrifices made my life possible. Finally, my wife and daughter deserve ultimate recognition for their love, support, and inspiration. Julia and Zoë, you both show me why my life is such a gift. Thank you both for your patience and love…without them I could never have achieved what you always told me I could. Thank you so much for everything you give. v Abstract This dissertation is an historical comparative examination of economic globalization (i.e., global market integration) effects on state political economic capacities in Québec and Canada. The central goal of the project is to understand how global market integration has altered the policy capacities of state institutions. Specifically, this dissertation examines Canadian multiculturalism and Québec interculturalism as social policy responses to ethno-cultural diversification resulting from increased global market integration. I argue that increased global market integration decreases state capacity to enact economic protections, but not the demand for protections from national populations. The result of these changes (ethno-cultural diversification and decreased economic policy capacity) is a shift in social policy capacity toward control and management of national cultural definitions, symbols, and structures of meaning. That is, as state capacity to meet national protectionist demands through economic policy decreases as a result of global market integration, the state must seek out alternative means of meeting national protectionist demands. These means are found in the management and control of national culture. The dissertation further concludes that this political re-orientation enables national populations to increases their relative power with respect to the state. This has placed the state in a precarious position between the powerful demands of global market proponents and the increasingly powerful demands of national populations for protections from the adverse affects of market integration. vi Table of Contents Chapter Page Part I: Methodological Framework and Theoretical Foundations 1 Part I Introduction 2 Chapter One: Conceptualizing and Analyzing the Contemporary 4 Nation-State 1.

  • The Political Culture of Canada
    CHAPTER 2 The Political Culture of Canada LEARNING OBJECTIVES By the end of this chapter you should be able to • Define the terms political culture, ideology, and cleavages. • Describe the main principles of each of the major ideologies in Canada. • Describe the ideological orientation of the main political parties in Canada. • Describe the major cleavages in Canadian politics. Introduction Canadian politics, like politics in other societies, is a public conflict over different conceptions of the good life. Canadians agree on some important matters (e.g., Canadians are overwhelmingly committed to the rule of law, democracy, equality, individual rights, and respect for minorities) and disagree on others. That Canadians share certain values represents a substantial consensus about how the political system should work. While Canadians generally agree on the rules of the game, they dis- agree—sometimes very strongly—on what laws and policies the government should adopt. Should governments spend more or less? Should taxes be lower or higher? Should governments build more prisons or more hospitals? Should we build more pipelines or fight climate change? Fortunately for students of politics, different conceptions of the good life are not random. The different views on what laws and policies are appropriate to realize the ideologies Specific bundles of good life coalesce into a few distinct groupings of ideas known as ideologies. These ideas about politics and the good ideologies have names that are familiar to you, such as liberalism, conservatism, and life, such as liberalism, conserva- (democratic) socialism, which are the principal ideologies in Canadian politics.

  • 129 Culture, Acculturation and Cultural Globalization
    LUCRĂRILE SEMINARULUI GEOGRAFIC “DIMITRIE CANTEMIR” NR. 37, 2014 CULTURE, ACCULTURATION AND CULTURAL GLOBALIZATION Raluca Estera Duma1 Abstract: In all meanings, culture is the defining element of a people, it helps it grow, and sometimes it magnifies or minimizes it in relation with other nations. Acculturation involves the partial acquisition of another culture, and interculturality, acceptance and respect of another culture. Cultural globalization means the dissolution of indigenous cultures, basically their digesting in the "great global cultural paste" which, unfortunately, is timeless, ahistorical, without originality, artificially constructed and based on cultural falsity and mendacity. Keywords: culture, acculturation, interculturality, cultural globalization 1. The concept of culture The term "culture" comes from the Latin "cultura" which, etymologically, means farming. Cicero (106-44 BC) was the one who gave the meaning of spirit cultivation, making a distinction between "cultura animi" (human culture), "culture mensis" (spiritual culture) and "agri culture" (land culture). Throughout history, there have been set and proposed various theories about the meaning of the culture concept, not infrequently contradictory, some integrating and assimilating it to civilization, others giving it a restrictive accept of integration in the spiritual and consciousness area. The concept was introduced by Taylor, through his work "Primitive Culture" published in 1871, according to which "culture is a complex of knowledge, religious beliefs,

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by UCL Discovery AMERICAN REVIEW OF CANADIAN STUDIES, VOLUME 46.2 PUBLISHED ON-LINE 6 JUNE 2016 A Quiet Revolution in Diplomacy—Quebec–UK Relations Since 1960 Tony McCulloch University College London Abstract Quebec’s modern international outlook and its current paradiplomacy can be dated largely from the Quiet Revolution of the 1960s. Since then, the provincial government in Quebec City and the Federal Government in Ottawa have had to tread a fine line in accommodating each other’s constitutional rights in the field of international relations—a line that has occasionally been breached, especially in the years following the Quiet Revolution and in critical periods such as those prior to the 1980 and 1995 referenda. Foreign governments have also had to engage in careful diplomacy in order to avoid upsetting either Ottawa or Quebec City—and this has been especially true in the case of the countries historically most involved with Canada and Quebec—France, the US, and Britain. But whereas there has been some academic writing on Quebec’s relationships with France and the US, very little attention has been devoted to Quebec–UK relations since the Quiet Revolution. This article seeks to fill that gap and argues that the Quebec–UK relationship since the 1960s can itself best be characterized as a “quiet revolution” in diplomacy that has largely avoided the controversies that have sometimes dogged Quebec’s relations with France and the US. Keywords: Quebec; United Kingdom; Quiet Revolution; patriation; monarchy; paradiplomacy Introduction While diplomatic relations between Quebec and the UK can be dated back to before the First World War—the first Quebec legation in London opened in 1908—it was not until the Quiet Revolution of the 1960s, associated with Jean Lesage and the Quebec Liberal party, that the province began to take full advantage of its international potential.

  • Localization and the Chinese Overseas: Acculturation, Assimilation, Hybridization, Creolization, and Identification
    Cultural and Religious Studies, February 2018, Vol. 6, No. 2, 73-87 doi: 10.17265/2328-2177/2018.02.001 D DAVID PUBLISHING Localization and the Chinese Overseas: Acculturation, Assimilation, Hybridization, Creolization, and Identification TAN Chee-Beng Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, China Based on materials on the localized Chinese overseas, including the Melaka Babas, who are mostly Malay-speaking Chinese, this article reflects on the use of such terms as acculturation and assimilation, as well as hybridization and creolization, in relation to highly localized Chinese. All these concepts are seen as different ways of describing cultural formation in transcultural context. In particular, the relevance of using creolization to refer to the kind of creative process of cultural formation beyond its original usage in the Caribbean is discussed. This results in the identification of fragmented creolization as in the case of the Caribbean and a rooted creolization as in the case of the Babas. The author shall first discuss the issues of assimilation and integration, followed by hybridization and creolization. This is followed by the discussion on localization of Chinese overseas and identity. The concluding section provides some remarks on the concepts reviewed, and three main categories of acculturated Chinese are identified, namely, Chinese who are linguistically assimilated but still observe major Chinese traditions, Chinese who are so acculturated to the mainstream society that they hardly practice Chinese traditions, and Chinese who are both highly localized and highly mixed “racially”. Keywords: acculturation and assimilation, hybridization, creolization, localization and identity, Baba, Chinese overseas Introduction1 A noticeable feature of Chinese overseas is their local cultural adaptation.

  • Reflections of Cultural Globalization in Tv: Programmes in Kyrgyzstan
    UNISCI DISCUSSION PAPERS Enero de 2004 REFLECTIONS OF CULTURAL GLOBALIZATION IN TV: PROGRAMMES IN KYRGYZSTAN AUTOR1: HURIYE KURUOĞLU Manas University, Kyrgyzstan FECHA: Enero 2004 “Globalization had never been a choice for the people of the world.” E.S.Herman “Sun rises from the East” Anonymous 1.Introduction Currently globalization has become one of the most important and permanent topics in almost all countries’ agendas. However, except for some specialists, definition and dating of globalization is not clear. Generally people are inclined to define the term according to the conditions of their own country, individual conditions, educational background and their view of the world. Parallel to the criteria for the definition, there is a wide disagreement on evaluating the globalization process as a positive or a negative event. Nevertheless, there is the tendency to speak from a common framework especially in the countries deeply affected by globalization. In this study, I prefer to clarify basic tenets of globalization and the cultural globalization before discussing the cultural globalization in Kyrgyzstan in order to define our framework for this study. In the beginning, scholar circles perceived and defined the phenomenon within the frameworks of political-economy, international capital flow, product and technology. But soon, those definitions and approaches became insufficient to capture the issue. 1 Las opiniones expresadas en estos artículos son propias de sus autores.
