The Fence and the Bridge : Geopolitics and Identity along the Canada–US Border / Heather N. NICOL / Wilfrid Laurier University Press (2015)
Titre : The Fence and the Bridge : Geopolitics and Identity along the Canada–US Border Type de document : e-book Auteurs : Heather N. NICOL Editeur : Wilfrid Laurier University Press Année de publication : 2015 ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 9781554589715 Note générale : copyrighted Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : The Fence and the Bridge is about the development of the Canada-US border-security relationship as an outgrowth of the much lengthier Canada-US relationship. It suggests that this relationship has been both highly reflexive and hegemonic over time, and that such realities are embodied in the metaphorical images and texts that describe the Canada-US border over its history. Nicol argues that prominent security motifs, such as themes of free trade, illegal immigration, cross-border crime, terrorism, and territorial sovereignty are not new, nor are they limited to the post-9/11 era. They have developed and evolved at different times and become part of a larger quilt, whose patches are stitched together to create a new fabric and design. Each of the security motifs that now characterize Canada-US border perceptions and relations has a precedent in border-management strategies and border relations in earlier periods. In some cases, these have deep historical roots that date back not just years or decades but centuries. They are part of an evolving North American geopolitical logic that inscribes how borders are perceived, how they function, and what they mean.

Titre : Tax Is Not a Four-Letter Word : A Different Take on Taxes in Canada Type de document : e-book Auteurs : Alex HIMELFARB Editeur : Wilfrid Laurier University Press Année de publication : 2013 ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 9781554588329 Note générale : copyrighted Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : Taxes connect us to one another, to the common good, and to the future. This is a book about taxes: who pays what and who gets what. More than that, it’s about the role of government, about citizenship and our collective well-being, about the Canada we want. The contributors, leading Canadian practitioners and scholars, explore how taxes have become a political “no-go zone” and how changes in taxation are changing Canada. They challenge the view that any tax is a bad tax and provide broad directions for fairer and smarter approaches. This is a book that will be of interest to anyone concerned with public policy and public affairs, economics, and political science and to anyone interested in challenging the conventional wisdom that lower taxes and smaller government are the cures to what ails us.

Titre : The End(s) of Community : History, Sovereignty, and the Question of Law Type de document : e-book Auteurs : Joshua Ben David NICHOLS Editeur : Wilfrid Laurier University Press Année de publication : 2013 ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 9781554588367 Note générale : copyrighted Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : This book stems from an examination of how Western philosophy has accounted for the foundations of law. In this tradition, the character of the “sovereign” or “lawgiver” has provided the solution to this problem. But how does the sovereign acquire the right to found law? As soon as we ask this question we are immediately confronted with a convoluted combination of jurisprudence and theology. The author begins by tracing a lengthy and deeply nuanced exchange between Derrida and Nancy on the question of community and fraternity and then moves on to engage with a diverse set of texts from the Marquis de Sade, Saint Augustine, Kant, Hegel, and Kafka. These texts—which range from the canonical to the apocryphal—all struggle in their own manner with the question of the foundations of law. Each offers a path to the law. If a reader accepts any path as it is and follows without question, the law is set and determined and the possibility of dialogue is closed. The aim of this book is to approach the foundations of law from a series of different angles so that we can begin to see that those foundations are always in question and open to the possibility of dialogue.
