  • The Limits to Influence: the Club of Rome and Canada
    THE LIMITS TO INFLUENCE: THE CLUB OF ROME AND CANADA, 1968 TO 1988 by JASON LEMOINE CHURCHILL A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2006 © Jason Lemoine Churchill, 2006 Declaration AUTHOR'S DECLARATION FOR ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION OF A THESIS I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract This dissertation is about influence which is defined as the ability to move ideas forward within, and in some cases across, organizations. More specifically it is about an extraordinary organization called the Club of Rome (COR), who became advocates of the idea of greater use of systems analysis in the development of policy. The systems approach to policy required rational, holistic and long-range thinking. It was an approach that attracted the attention of Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. Commonality of interests and concerns united the disparate members of the COR and allowed that organization to develop an influential presence within Canada during Trudeau’s time in office from 1968 to 1984. The story of the COR in Canada is extended beyond the end of the Trudeau era to explain how the key elements that had allowed the organization and its Canadian Association (CACOR) to develop an influential presence quickly dissipated in the post- 1984 era. The key reasons for decline were time and circumstance as the COR/CACOR membership aged, contacts were lost, and there was a political paradigm shift that was antithetical to COR/CACOR ideas.

Radical social movements and countercultures challenged the conservatism of the preceding decade, rejected traditional forms of politics, and demanded an alternative based on the principles of social justice, individual freedom and an end to oppression on all fronts. Yet in Canada a unique political movement emerged which embraced these principles but proposed that New Left social movements – the student and anti-war movements, the women’s liberation movement and Canadian nationalists – could bring about radical political change not only through street protests and sit-ins, but also through participation in electoral politics.

  • Is the NDP As Manitoba's Natural Governing Party
    Is the NDP Manitoba’s Natural Governing Party? A Paper Presented at the Annual Meeting of the Canadian Political Science Association Edmonton, AB. June 14, 2012 Nelson Wiseman Dept. of Political Science University of Toronto [email protected] In the lexicon of Canadian politics, academics and journalists have long associated the term “natural governing party” with the federal Liberal party1 and reasonably so: the Liberals governed for 80 years, or 72 percent, of the 110 years between 1896 and 2006. In Alberta, the Progressive Conservatives’ unbroken record of majority governments for more than the past four decades qualifies them as well for the appellation “natural governing party.”2 This paper asks if the New Democratic Party (NDP) may be considered as Manitoba’s natural governing party. By the time of Manitoba’s next election, the party will have governed in 33 years, or 59 percent, of the 46 years since its initial ascension to office in 1969. A generation of new Manitoban voters in the 2015 election will have known only an NDP government in their politically conscious lives. To them, the “natural” political order will be NDP government. If a measure of dominance is whether a governing party commands a majority of parliamentary seats, then the Manitoba NDP’s record exceeds the record of the federal Liberals. In the 28 federal elections since 1921 – when the possibility of minority governments first arose with the appearance of third parties in Parliament – the Liberals secured majority mandates in 12, or only 43 percent, of those contests. The Manitoba NDP, in contrast, has won outright majorities in 58 percent of the elections since 1969.

  • The Manitoba New Democratic Party Through the Prisms of Leadership, Performance, Ideology, and Policy
    The NDP: Manitoba’s Natural Governing Party? (Draft) September 2008 For a Conference: “Manitoba Politics and Government into the 21st Century” University of Manitoba Winnipeg November, 2008 Nelson Wiseman Dept. of Political Science University of Toronto 1 This paper peers at the Manitoba New Democratic Party through the prisms of leadership, performance, ideology, and policy. It traces the party’s development, membership, and changing bases of support. It probes the interplay of leader, party, and society, of biography and history. To understand the party, its ideas and leaders, requires an appreciation of Manitoba’s ever-evolving political sociology. The provincial NDP’s meteoric rise to power came exactly 50 years to the day after the Winnipeg General Strike ended. The party’s 1969 victory was remarkable because the NDP and its predecessor parties – the Independent Labor Party (1920-1936) and then the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF) – had never been more than third parties in the legislature. Within a few short years of the NDP’s creation, however, the party catapulted into government and moved from the periphery to the centre of provincial power and from the margins into the mainstream of provincial society. The party has held office in every decade since its initial election, in 26 of the last 40 years, winning seven of 11 elections. This raises the question: Has the NDP become Manitoba’s natural governing party? What accounts for the party’s success? Consciously constructed as a mass party, it is principle, philosophy, and the membership that ostensibly drive the NDP rather than opportunism, expedience, and leaders.
