La dimension des circonscriptions dans les elections canadiennes: une analyse exploratoireCette étude utilise l'analyse de régression multiple et une combinaison de données d'enquête et de recensement afin d'évaluer les conséquences de la dimension politique et socio-économique des circonscriptions sur le soutien au Parti libéral à l'élection fédérate de 1968.Des estimations du soutien an Parti libéral prévu dans chacune des circonscriptions à partir de certaines caractéristiques sociales (éducation, religion, revenu familial) de la population concernée, ont été comparées avec le niveau actuel de l'appui aux libéraux. Les différences, c'est-à-dire les variations dans le soutien libéral qui n'étaient pas expliquées directement par la composition socio-économique de la circonscription, sont expliquées par un certain nombre de facteurs systémiques ou conjoncturels comme le taux de participation, la concurrence entre les partis, la nature des conflits partisans ainsi que par d'autres variables socio-économiques—l'importance de la population catholique, l'ethnicité et la taille relative de la force de travail non-manuelle.Les résultats démontrent que les facteurs qui relèvent de la conjoncture sont des déterminants très importants des variations spatiales du soutien au Parti libéral. De plus, la plupart des variations régionales dans le soutien au Parti libéral peuvent être attribuées aux caractéristiques particulières des circonscriptions qui varient elles-mêmes selon les régions.

At the present moment there seems to be a worldwide agreement that conflicts between multinationals and host countries do exist, that they are bound to increase in intensity in the near future, and that something must be done about it. Speaking on U.S.-Latin American relations earlier this year the U.S. Secretary of State singled out multinational enterprises as one of the key hemispheric problems. A senior economist from the Brookings Institution said last fall that the likelihood of international conflict on the issue of multinational corporations is growing sharply, and the clash of the national interests involved could become in the near future a central problem of world economics and politics. In Latin America and elsewhere in the developing world similar preoccupations are expressed by an increasing number of policy-makers, policy advisors, and public opinion-molders.

Bahār provides an unusual example of a writer belonging to different periods of Persian literature. He began writing early and lived long enough to pass through several admittedly rapid stages in modern Persian history. Thus he is known as one of the poets of the Constitutional period, whose poems were chanted and recited by the overthrowers of the old autocracy, even more by those who counteracted the Lesser Autocracy of Muḥammad ˓Alī Shāh, as well as the poet, journalist, scholar and teacher of the restored constitution, the reign of Riā Shāh and just after.A close look at the Dīvān reveals a third period, less important from the literary point of view, but which preceded the others and gave Bahār a stamp he was never wholly to lose, even though he was acutely sensitive to the rapid changes Persian society and culture were to undergo during his life.

Law is of an essentially social character. The set of legal norms enacted by the legislator for the orderly regulation of social relationship between the several members of the community, serves to co-ordinate human activity. Therefore law should in no way be regarded as a static set of legal rules, but as a continuous socio-legal process. The study of law in this sense: as a continuous evolution, as found interpreted, applied created and evolved to the point when it acquires legally binding validity, ought to be encouraged. Such a study may perhaps lead us to a systematic knowledge of the impact of law on social conduct and may possibly show us how society, through its various manifestations, helps to fashion the legal norms which, in tum, come to be enforced by organized society. ; peer-reviewed
