"Powerful, innovative Indigenous self-governance regimes are increasingly important players in Canadian politics, but little academic work has been done on their structure, operation, and effectiveness. "We Are in Charge Here" examines the central institution of the most populous Indigenous self-governance regime in Canada, the elected Assembly of the Nunatsiavut Government. Nunatsiavut - "our beautiful land" in Inuktitut - was established in 2006 by a modern treaty between the Labrador Inuit and the Canadian state. Graham White offers a thorough observation of the Assembly, based on interviews with Assembly members and others involved in Nunatsiavut politics, observation of Assembly sessions, and a review of official documents, in order to provide a comprehensive picture of the Assembly, its members, and its operations. The book examines the Assembly's effectiveness in performing traditional legislative functions such as representation, policy making, and accountability. It addresses key concerns including executive-legislative power relations, Inuit influence on Assembly operations, and the Assembly's role in realizing self-government. Illuminating the intersection of Indigenous self-governance approaches and Western institutions, "We Are in Charge Here" will be of interest to political leaders, legislative officials, and academics concerned with the design and on-the-ground functioning of Indigenous self-government."--

"Co-management boards, established under comprehensive land claims agreements, have become key players in land-use planning, wildlife management, and environmental regulation across Canada's North. This book provides a detailed account of the operation and effectiveness of these boards while addressing a central question: Have they been successful in ensuring substantial Indigenous involvement in policies affecting the land and wildlife in their traditional territories? While identifying constraints on the role Northern Indigenous peoples play in board processes, Graham White finds that overall they exercise extensive decision-making influence. These findings are provocative and offer valuable insights into our understanding of the importance of land claims boards and the role they play in the evolution of treaty federalism in Canada."--

"Now in its fifth edition, this textbook is the standard authority on the government and politics of Ontario. Ideal for undergraduate students, it provides general background information, discusses government institutions, and covers key issues on the political scene such as the role of the media, women in politics, and the North. Extensively revised and updated to reflect the experiences of the NDP government and the early Harris era, this edition also features a new section on change and continuity in the Ontario political system."--Jacket

For institutions as well as for people, turning 50 invites reflection on what's gone before and what's to come. This special 50th anniversary issue looks at Canadian political science and the profession—past and present—from a number of perspectives and explores ways in which they might or should change.

AbstractThis article surveys the first five decades of the Journal/Revue, with particular emphasis on patterns of change and continuity. The article presents a quantitative analysis of the articles published in the Journal/Revue, looking at, among other things, the balance of articles published in English and in French, the proportion of articles authored by women, the location and institutional affiliation of authors and the subject matter of published articles. Significant continuities emerge from the data, such as the predominance of Canadian-based authors writing on aspects of Canadian politics and the dominance of authors from large research-intensive universities. Yet change is also evident, for example in the number of women publishing in the Journal/Revue and in the emergence of articles in subfields not found in the Journal/Revue's earlier days, most notably Aboriginal politics, gender and politics, and race and ethnicity.

L'article explore l'intersection de trois lignes de recherche toutes inspirées par l'œuvre de Sraffa, bien que non explorées par Sraffa lui-même dans Production of Commodities by Means of Commodities . La première concerne l'explication des quantités prises comme données dans le système de Sraffa et la question connexe de la fusion entre une explication des prix relatifs et de la répartition d'inspiration Classico-sraffienne et une explication de l'activité globale gouvernée par la demande à long terme. La seconde porte sur les processus dynamiques qui sont supposés limiter les différentiels de taux de profit et engendrer ainsi des équilibres stables caractérisés par un taux de profit uniforme. La troisième ligne de recherche, relativement inexplorée, concerne le vaste domaine de la concurrence et la pertinence, pour une approche sraffienne, de concepts traditionnels tels que 'la firme', 'la branche' ou les structures de firmes et de marché dans l'explication du taux de profit et des prix relatifs. Après une discussion de chacun de ces trois domaines, l'article construit une esquisse très simple d'un modèle de gravitation comme moyen d'explorer leurs interconnexions.
