WIN 202 - Quebec Nationalism

Institution:

Franklin College - Indiana

Subject:

Description:

In recent decades the relationship between English-speaking Canada and the French-speaking Canadian province of Quebec has been a troubled one. In a referendum held in Quebec in 1995 nearly fifty per cent of the voters opted for the creation of a sovereign Quebec nation-state. To this day Quebec remains the only Canadian province not to have signed the Canadian constitution. It is the purpose of this course to examine the relationship between Quebec and the rest of Canada and explain the continued popularity of separatist nationalism in Quebec. The course will introduce students to social science literature on nationalism in general and Quebec nationalism in particular. Other topics include: the historical background of the current crisis in Quebec - Canada relations; recent attempts to bring the crisis to a solution; the key political players and their constitutional options. Satisfies an intercultural requirement. Prerequisite: None. Fees: None.
