Minority Nations in Multinational Federations
Multinational federations rest on the coexistence of two or more nations within a single polity. Within these federations, minority nations play a significant role as their character differs from the other building blocks of the federation. This edited volume offers a comprehensive comparison of two such minority nations - Quebec in Canada and Wallonia in Belgium - which exemplifies many dimensions, themes and issues highly resonant to the study of federalism and regionalism across the globe. Quebec and Wallonia have experienced several decades of federal dynamics where both regions have had to find their way as a minority nation in a multinational federation. For those studying federalism a...
Big City Elections in Canada
This collection offers an in-depth look at municipal voting behaviour during local elections in eight of Canada's largest cities.
Political Engagement in Canadian City Elections
Municipal elections in Canada don’t look much like those held at the federal and provincial levels. A key difference is a significant discrepancy in voter turnout, but relatively little is known about why far fewer people vote in city elections. Voters show less interest in local government, seeing it as less influential than other levels, yet they believe their views matter more to local politicians. Political Engagement in Canadian City Elections explores this apparent contradiction by asking who participates in politics, how they go about it, and why. Drawing from the Canadian Municipal Election Study, a novel survey of electors in eight large cities across the country in 2017 and 2018, contributors consider factors ranging from the universal – such as the demographic profile of voters or how economic conditions affect them – to the specific – for example, participation in school board and council elections. There are more municipal elections than any other kind in Canada. The discoveries in Political Engagement in Canadian City Elections collectively represent a major leap forward in our understanding of voter activity at the community and municipal level.
Voting in Quebec Municipal Elections
While Quebec is well known for its provincial-level party politics and thriving nationalism, voting behaviour and electoral campaigning at the municipal level have failed to gain much attention to date. Voting in Quebec Municipal Elections seeks to transform the state of municipal elections research in Quebec through a systematic study of the 2017 Montreal and Quebec City elections. Drawing upon data from the Canadian Municipal Election Study, the authors demonstrate not only the importance of Quebec municipal politics, but the many ways that municipal elections research can inform our broader understanding of voting behaviour in the province. This volume considers the features particular to the Quebec local context, such as the importance of language and nationalism, the effects of local party labels for down-ballot races, and the role of ideology. Voting in Quebec Municipal Elections represents the largest-ever collection of work on local elections in the province’s history, making a significant contribution to our understanding of the municipal voter in Quebec.

Le budget participatif
Quel rôle jouent et quelle place occupent les populations dans les processus de développement de l'État en Afrique ? En janvier 1996, le Cameroun s'est doté d'une nouvelle constitution qui donne une place majeure à la décentralisation dans l'administration du pouvoir politique. Plus de 20 ans après, les spécialistes de la gouvernance s'interrogent sur la distance entre les populations et le pouvoir de Yaoundé. En s'appuyant sur une enquête de terrain, cet ouvrage montre que, nonobstant la mise en oeuvre de la décentralisation, construire collectivement l'action publique, dans un pays où l'État s'est érigé depuis l'indépendance en unique concepteur et défenseur de l'intérêt général, évolue encore à rebours du modèle stato-centré d'hier.
