    Neo-Gonservatism on the Periphery: The Lessons from B.C.* PHILIP RESNIGK The budget calls for a new way of thinking about government, and about the expectations we all have. It calls for a recognition that the costs (of government) have become excessive in recent years.1 This paper sets out to examine the neo-conservative experiment to which British Columbia was subjected in the three-year period between 1983 and 1986, and to explore the root causes of the pursuit of such policies in an essentially peripheral region within a larger capitalist economy. For while neo-conservatism as an ideology gained ascendancy in the two core English-speaking countries in the late 1970s and early 1980s, it is striking to note that in a country such as Canada it proved more influential at the regional than at the national level. Why should this have been so, and what lessons can we derive from the attempt to administer the bitter medicine of public sector roll-backs and social spending cuts within the confines of a single province? This paper will begin with a brief discussion of the reasons for the emergence of neo-conservatism in the 1970s. It will then say something about the particular nature of state activity in resource-based economies like B.C.'s and of political culture in this province. This will be followed by an examination of the policies which the newly re-elected Social Credit government of the province introduced in July 1983, the reaction these engendered, and the larger impact that the B.C.

  • Ujjal Dosanjh: B.C.'S Indian-Born Premier
    Contents Ujjal Dosanjh: B.C.'s Indian-Born Premier In an attempt to hang onto power and to stage a comeback in the court of public opinion after the resignation of Glen Clark, the beleaguered NDP government of British Columbia picks Ujjal Dosanjh as party leader and premier. The former attorney general of the province was selected following a process that itself was not without controversy. As a Canadian pioneer, Dosanjh becomes the first Indian-born head of government in Canada. A role model as well, the new premier has traveled far to a nation that early in the 1900s restricted Indian immigration by an order-in-council. Ironically, Dosanjh, no stranger to controversy and personal struggle, is the grandson of a revolutionary who was jailed by the British during India s fight for independence.

  • And Right- Wing Governments to Women's Issues in Ontario and British Columbia 1980-2002
    How Party Matters: A Comparative Assessment of the Openness of Left- and Right- Wing Governments to Women's Issues in Ontario and British Columbia 1980-2002 Cheryl N. Collier Department of Political Science Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario [email protected] Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the Canadian Political Science Association, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, May 30-June 1, 2007 Draft Paper - Comments welcome. Please do not cite or quote without permission. 1 How Party Matters: A Comparative Assessment of the Openness of Left- and Right- Wing Governments to Women's Issues in Ontario and British Columbia 1980-20021 By Cheryl N. Collier Carleton University In November 1991, almost immediately after being elected to office, the left-wing BC NDP government of Michael Harcourt created the Ministry of Women's Equality (MWE). Even though BC already had a junior ministry to deal with women's issues, the MWE was the first and only full, free-standing ministry for women to be created in Canada with a mandate to advance women's equality (Erickson 1996; Teghtsoonian 2005). This was a significant achievement for women's groups and feminists within the BC NDP who had been trying to get the party to establish the ministry ever since it first formed a government between 1972 and 1975 (Erickson 1996). The MWE was a "central agency" within the BC government of the day. Its minister was given a seat on the two most important cabinet committees and the ministry as a whole was given a wide policy advisory role to "ensure that 'issues relating to women's equality [were] reflected in policy, legislation, services and programs throughout [the] government'" (quoted in Erickson 1996:199).

  • CEPS Working Document Policy No
    Centre for European CEPS Working Document Policy No. 214/November 2004 Studies Europeanisation as a Gravity Model of Democratisation Michael Emerson & Gergana Noutcheva Abstract Much analysis of trends in democratisation in the world nowadays gives a rather pessimistic message, with such sweeping notions as the end of the third wave of democratisation, or of the democratic transition paradigm. A closer look at what has been happening in Europe, however, suggests that such analyses have often overlooked an important explanatory variable, captured in what we may call a ‘gravity model’, borrowing here a term from trade theory in economics. The gravity model of democratisation joins up with the mechanisms of Europeanisation, with democratisation progressing fast and deeply in 20 European states that were recently non-democratic, and which have various integrative relationships with the European Union. The trends and levels in the democracy scorecard in Europe as a whole show a clear correlation with the degrees of strength of these integrative relationships, and the results can be seen to be linked to the political conditionality and socialisation mechanisms of Europeanisation. Unfortunately for the advocates of universal democracy, other continents are presently unable to organise or access something similar, even Latin America where the US might have been expected to play more of an analogous role, and even less the Arab/Islamic world. This is not to argue that the values and mechanisms of democracy do not have universal plausibility, at least in the long run. But in the absence of the gravity variable in other continents, there should be soberly realistic expectations over the prospects for fast and deep democratisation.

    Book Reviews The 1200 Days: A Shattered Dream: Dave Barrett and the NDP in BC z972-75> by Lome J. Kavic and Garry Brian Nixon. Coquitlam: Kaen Publishers, 1978. Pp. 290. Son of Socred: Has Bill Bennett's Government Gotten B.C, Moving Again? by Stan Persky. Vancouver: New Star Books, 1979. Pp. 319. British Columbia has come of age. The much vaunted left/right two party system, which our teachers of yesterday told us was the hallmark of maturity, is now ours to savour and enjoy. An additional sign of maturity, partly a response to the general growth of interest in provincial studies in Canada, is the expanding literature dealing with B.C. politics. While our bookshelves are scarcely groaning, they now sport a respectable dis­ play of books and journals on British Columbia. BC Studies is now in its second decade. The number of graduate theses steadily expands and illu­ minates the dark spots in our past. An additional welcome indication of this healthy introspection is found in book-length journalistic and descrip­ tive political commentary aimed at the general public. The 1200 Days and Son of Socred fall into this latter category. Persky explicitly refers to the responsibility of privileged academics "to spend more of their time and skills addressing the general public rather than just talking to each other" (p. 8). Neither work has any pretence to be the last word on its respective subject — the NDP period in office from 1972 to 1975 for Kavic and Nixon, and the Social Credit years from 1975 to 1978 of Bennett the younger for Persky.
