Working Class and Politics in Canada

No customer reviews yet ISBN 9780774871792

Emphasizes the power of the working class in Canada's politics.

Working-class Canadians are often overlooked by politicians, policymakers, and political scientists. However, the working class accounts for a substantial share of Canada's population, and class differences have enduring relevance for how people relate to politics. The Working Class and Politics in Canada argues that changing labor-market patterns, shifting electoral alignments, and increased socio-economic inequality make it essential to revisit the political importance of class.

The contributors to this essential volume re-examine the experience of workers in Canadian politics and society, considering the relationship between the working class and political science, political parties, voting patterns, and democratic engagement. How do class status and other aspects of identity--such as region, language, and gender--determine voting behavior? What happens to working-class representation when the country's political institutions primarily reflect the priorities of affluent constituents?

Drawing on new data and original insights, The Working Class and Politics in Canada offers an up-to-date and much-needed assessment of class and its place in contemporary Canadian politics.

International Education as Public Policy in Canada
In the early twenty-first century international education emerged as an almost ubiquitous concept within discussions of educational curriculum&#x3b; the objectives of schools, universities, and colleges&#x3b; and government policies for K-12 and higher education. Although far from a new phenomenon, many jurisdictions now view international education as a highly competitive global industry. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of international education policy in Canada, tracing the complex history of when, how, and why it emerged as a policy area of strategic importance. Illuminating a uniquely Canadian perspective, influenced by regional interests and federal-provincial tensions, International Education as Public Policy in Canada addresses challenging questions: Why was Canada a latecomer in addressing this policy issue? What is the relationship between international education and Canadian immigration policy? How did international education develop as a major Canadian industry? The resulting essays from leading scholars contribute not only to the growing Canadian literature on international education policy but also to a critical, global conversation. Contemplating where the Canadian story of international education is headed, International Education as Public Policy in Canada calls for a broader debate on ethical practices in internationalization, focusing on inclusion, equity, compassion, and reciprocity.
