50 ans de bilinguisme officiel

Cities and Languages
Regular price $20.95 Save $-20.95Proceedings of the international symposium, “Language Planning in Capitals and Urban Environments,” held March 25–26, 2010 at the University of Ottawa, with sponsorship from the Official Languages and Bilingualism Institute, Canadian Heritage, the Office of the Commissioner of Official Languages and the City of Ottawa.
The Language Planning in Capitals and Urban Environments Symposium brought together administrators and researchers from Canadian and European cities to discuss language planning in urban environments. Two important concepts emerged from the proceedings: municipal bilingualism as an asset that deserves to be promoted, rather than merely a question of regulation; and bilingualism as a symbol of openness and inclusion that cities can use to advantage to distinguish themselves from their competitors.

Cities as Crucibles
Regular price $52.95 Save $-52.95This book reflects the experience of one of Canada's most experienced urbanists. The vast majority of Canadians live in cities, and this trend will accelerate. Yet, discussion of urban requirements, policy and agendas barely registers for many citizens.
In this important book, François Lapointe, a practicing urbanist, provides a distinctive analysis of urban reality and an imaginative and thought-provoking vision of a sustainable, healthy, and resilient urban future.
He asks essential questions: What do we see in Cities? What does it tell us? What do we need to do about it? Cities as crucibles is a challenging read on governance and urbanism.

Driving the Fake Out of Public Administration
Regular price $16.95 Save $-16.95Much of the waste in public administration is ascribable to the displacement of the primary concern for performance and coordination by a primary concern for redistribution. In each sphere of activities, it has led to unreasonable rules inspired by egalitarianism that have triggered permanent allocational malefits.
The failure to confront the progressivist ethos and culture has rendered any action on the managerial front ineffective. First, the authors underscore the seemingly unanimous diagnosis of waste and dysfunctions in Canada’s federal public service and show that efforts to correct the situation have failed. This failure is ascribable to a fundamental incapacity to deal concurrently with the ill-advised managerial decisions of governments and the perverse progressivist philosophy inspiring them. Second, an MRI of the human resource (HR) regimes has been sketched as a guide to the detoxing and modernization of the HR regimes.
It was used to spell out some guidelines for the modification of management structures and competencies, and to probe the cultural underground of moral contracts that would need to underpin the new arrangements.

La Flotte Blanche
Regular price $36.95 Save $-36.95"Débutant en 1846 avec une flotte d'un seul navire, c'est grâce à la volonté et la ténacité de personnages remarquables tels que Jacques-Félix Sincennes, Louis-Adélard Sénécal et Louis-Joseph Forget, pour n'en nommer que quelques uns, que la Compagnie de Navigation du Richelieu a fait face aux défis du transport de produits de l'agriculture et de passagers vers des marchés plus vastes.
Suite à de nombreuses fusions avec des compagnies déjà en place, elle est devenue en 1913 la mère de la Société Canada Steamship Lines qui est encore un chef de file dans les eaux canadiennes et qui joue également un rôle important et toujours en croissance à l'échelle internationale en Europe, en Asie et en Amérique latine.
Avec cette oeuvre, Pierre Camu poursuit sa contribution à l'histoire de l'expansion économique du pays, en particulier dans le domaine des transports par eau. La rigueur et la profondeur de ses recherches pour ce volume sont remarquables; le ton est juste et le contexte social et économique recréé nous permet d'y pénétrer comme si on s'y retrouvait au moment présent.
Cet ouvrage captivera le lecteur du début à la fin. J'ai rencontré Pierre Camu lors de mon entrée dans l'industrie maritime, il y a quarante ans, et tout au long de sa carrière j'ai pu constater son dynamisme et son amour pour cette industrie et son histoire.
Je recommande la lecture de ce livre à tous ceux et celles qui s'intéressent à l'histoire des pionniers de notre pays."
- Le très honorable Paul Martin

The State in Transition
Regular price $25.95 Save $-25.95Canadian federalism, as a particular form of political organization for a complex society—with multiple economic, political, geographic, cultural, and national divides—faces important challenges. The political realignment that brought the Conservative Party to power in the last quinquennium has set in motion a significant transformation of the Canadian state and its federal system of governance.
The contributors in this collection focus on three recurrent themes: the issues arising from the management of ethno-cultural diversity; the existence of internal nations in Canada (the First Nations and the Quebec nation in Quebec), the presence of linguistic minorities (French and English), and the questions of identity linked to citizenship in a federal context that allows for the presence of multiple loyalties; and the specific challenges raised by globalization and the extension of economic integration, particularly between the United States and Canada.
This collection of studies on the role of the state reveals that our understanding of the evolution of the Canadian state, and of the ensuing impact on federalism and federal-provincial relations, is not as complete as it should be.
