2012Programme.Pdf Canadian Political Science Association Association canadienne de science politique 84th Annual Conference June 13, 14, 15 University of Alberta 2012 84e Congrès annuel 13, 14, 15 juin Université de l’Alberta PROGRAMME The Department of Political Science offers a challenging array of courses and research opportunities. We offer an exciting environment where faculty and students make real contributions to the University and to the discipline of Political Science. We strive to instill a strong combination of analytical skills and intellectual integrity in our students before they fulfill their roles as public citizens. With five subfield specializations to choose from -- International Politics, Comparative Politics, Canadian and Quebec Politics, Public Policy and Administration, and Political Theory -- our graduates have proceeded to work in such areas as public administration, law, human rights, journalism, and political campaigning. Some have entered competitive politics, and others have found satisfying work with non-governmental organizations or with corporations. The possibilities are wide open, and it is our job to give you the intellectual background to take advantage of them. Many of our students proceed to master’s and doctoral programs at Concordia or elsewhere, and make substantive contributions to public service, advocacy work, and the discipline of political science. Programs We offer the following degree programs: Bachelor of Arts Honours in Political Science Honours (Thesis) in Political Science Major in Political Science Minor in Political Science Minor in Human Rights Master’s in Public Policy and Public Administration PhD in Political Science Contact Us Department of Political Science 1455 de Maisonneuve Blvd. West Montreal, Quebec H3G 1M8 Tel.: 514-848-2424 ext. 2105 Fax: 514-848-4072 [email protected] politicalscience.concordia.ca TABLE OF CONTENTS/TABLE DES MATIÈRES Buildings and Audio-Visuals/Édifices et équipement audio-visuel 1 Welcomes/Mots de bienvenue 2-5 Acknowledgements/Remerciements 6-7 List of Conference Sponsors/Liste des commanditaires du congrès 8 General Information/Renseignements généraux 9-12 2012 Programme Committee/Comité du programme 2012 13 2013 Programme Committee/Comité du programme 2013 14 Board of Directors/Conseil d’administration 15 CPSA Business and Committee Meetings/Réunions d’affaires et comités de l’ACSP 15 Special Event/Événement spécial 16 Other Special Events/Autres événements spéciaux 17-19 Prizes/Prix 19-26 Section Index/Index des sections 27-33 Notices to Participants/Note à l’intention des congressistes 33-35 Mentoring Programme/Programme de mentorat 36 Workshops/Ateliers 37-55 Sessions/Séances 58-146 Participants 149-160 A Personal Timetable/Un horaire personnel 161 AGM Agenda and annual reports/Ordre du jour pour la AGA et les rapports annuels 165-201 Campus and Downtown Edmonton Maps/Carte du campus et du centre-ville d’Edmonton 204-205 BUILDINGS / ÉDIFICES Athabasca Hall Centennial Centre for Interdisciplinary Science H.M.

There is no doubt we live in a time of profound, far-reaching change, but taking the time to build shared understanding remains as vital today as ever before. Knowledge plays a central role in all aspects of democracy and diplomacy. We must continue to learn from one another, to forge connections at home and abroad, and to think creatively in solving problems and generating new ideas. Throughout its history, the CPSA has been committed to promoting the study of political science and how it interacts with other disciplines in both the academic sense and on a wider scale. It has provided a platform for dialogue, where current events are evaluated and new concepts are explored. As you move forward, your challenge will be to simultaneously hold past, present and future in mind, and respect traditions while progressing together. I congratulate you on this milestone, and I wish all of you many more years of fruitful and engaging study. David Johnston June 2012 2 Je suis heureux de vous faire part de mes plus chaleureuses félicitations à l’occasion du 100e anniversaire de l’Association canadienne de science politique (ACSP). Il ne fait aucun doute que nous vivons à une époque de transformations profondes et de grande envergure, mais cela veut dire aussi qu’il importe encore plus que jamais de prendre le temps de dégager des interprétations communes de toute cette conjoncture. Le savoir joue un rôle déterminant dans tous les aspects de la démocratie et de la diplomatie. Nous devons continuer à apprendre les uns des autres, à forger des liens au pays et à l’étranger et à puiser dans nos pensées créatrices pour résoudre les problèmes qui se posent et générer de nouvelles idées. Tout au long de son histoire, l’ACSP s’est engagé à promouvoir l’étude de la science politique et de ses interactions avec les autres disciplines, dans leur ensemble et sur le plan théorique. L’Association a servi jusqu’ici de plateforme pour un dialogue permettant d’évaluer la portée des événements de l’actualité et d’explorer de nouveaux concepts. À mesure que vous poursuivrez vos activités et continuerez à progresser ensemble, votre défi consistera à garder à l’esprit tout à la fois le passé, le présent et l’avenir tout en sachant respecter les traditions. Je tiens à vous féliciter encore une fois d’avoir franchi ce jalon remarquable et je vous souhaite à tous de nombreuses autres années d’études fructueuses et captivantes. David Johnston Juin 2012 3 Message from His Worship Mayor Stephen Mandel On behalf of City Council and the people of Edmonton, Alberta’s Capital City, I extend a warm welcome to delegates of the Canadian Political Science Association annual conference. Congratulations on 100 years of encouraging and developing political science in Canada! The University of Alberta and the City of Edmonton have developed a strong relationship over the past century. This is directly reflected through the positive role Department of Political Science faculty members have played in stimulating and informing political engagement and debate in our community. Thank you to the Canadian Political Science Association for organizing such a wonderful event. You have helped enhance Edmonton’s reputation as a city of learning and achievement. Congratulations and best wishes for continued success! Yours truly, Stephen Mandel Mayor 4 Presidential Welcome Reeta Tremblay The Canadian Political Science Association is very pleased to celebrate our 100th anniversary at the University of Alberta in 2012. The Programme Committee, chaired by Yasmeen Abu-Laban (University of Alberta) has worked hard to enhance the meeting by organizing outstanding sessions and special presentations that will enrich the event and enliven the discussion. We will all celebrate CPSA’s 100th anniversary through the Centennial Panels, the new Mentorship Café and the Pancake Breakfast, a special event honouring past CPSA Presidents. Again this year, the high quality of the panels and papers is itself an honouring of the discipline. I would like to thank Yasmeen Abu-Laban (Programme Chair, Department of Political Science, University of Alberta), Steve Patten (Local organizer, Department of Political Science, University of Alberta), Cindy Welsh (Events Coordinator, Faculty of Arts, University of Alberta), Michelle Hopkins (Administrator, CPSA) and Sally Rutherford (Executive Director, CPSA) for their work in putting together what I know will be an excellent conference. I would also like to thank past President Keith Banting (Queen’s University) and his committee Richard Johnston (University of British Columbia) and Avigail Eisenberg (University of Victoria) for their work on the centennial panels. I look forward to meeting with you! **************************************** Mot de bienvenue de la présidente Reeta Tremblay L’Association canadienne de science politique est très heureuse de célébrer son 100e anniversaire à l’Université de l’Alberta en 2012.

  • Social Actor Engagement in Municipal Decision-Making for Parks, Planning, and Civil Society in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada 1960-2010: Institutional Intersections
    Social Actor Engagement in Municipal Decision-Making for Parks, Planning, and Civil Society in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada 1960-2010: Institutional Intersections By: Robert Wayne Priebe A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Kinesiology, Sport, and Recreation University of Alberta © Robert Wayne Priebe, 2019 Abstract Edmonton, Alberta, has a unique approach to public spaces that sees conjoined creation and development sharing of public spaces for the collective benefit of the community and stakeholders; this approach began 100 years ago. Green or open spaces, natural areas, the river valley, City of Edmonton and community recreation facilities, and public education facilities share common sites in a system of public spaces, hereafter called a “park system.” Rather than narrowly focus on government entities and technical processes this dissertation posits that parks decision-making occurs more broadly through dialogue and perspectives of social actors engaging with one another and how they impact each other’s perspectives, positions and decisions over time. This dissertation identifies and examines the interplay and relationships between the land use planning processes and community engaged park development, programming and maintenance activities and processes in Edmonton, using Strategic Relational Institutionalist and Historical Institutionalist perspectives. Categories of social actors involved in both institutions include elected officials, senior and frontline administrators, community nongovernmental organizations, school boards, community residents, developers, landowners, and consultants. Each of these actors has different levels of power and agency within administrative processes and within institutions themselves. This dissertation is an exploration of how land use and parks decision-making occurred over time.
