Rights and Parliamentary Systems in Canada and Beyond brings together political scientists and legal scholars to explore rights and their limitations, along with the governmental and legislative processes affecting them, within Canada's parliamentary system. It also examines how these elements shape broader institutional relationships under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and in comparative perspective.
This interdisciplinary volume offers valuable, in-depth analyses of timely issues, cases, and controversies involving rights and institutional dynamics. The book employs an array of methods, including legal analysis, qualitative case studies, content analysis, legal theory, research interviews, and policy analysis.
With a forward-looking perspective, Rights and Parliamentary Systems in Canada and Beyond investigates how rights-based processes influence specific policies and offers new insights into the framing of rights, including administrative law and Aboriginal treaty rights during the COVID-19 pandemic. It also explores how aspects of parliamentary democracy affect governments, legislators, and the public. The book ultimately reveals how the institutional relationships at stake operate to protect - or fail to protect - rights in relation to government policy objectives.

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.
