A Perilous Imbalance
The Globalization of Canadian Law and Governance
Stephen Clarkson and Stepan Wood
Through an examination of Canadians’ complicated roles as agents and objects of globalization, this book shows how Canada’s experience of and contribution to globalized governance is characterized by serious imbalances. It explores these imbalances by tracing three interlinked developments:
the emergence of a neoconservative supraconstitution, the transformation of the nation-state, and the growth of governance beyond the nation-state. Advocating a revitalizated Canadian state as a vehicle for pursuing human security, ecological integrity, and social emancipation, and for creating spaces in which progressive, alternative forms of law and governance can unfold, A Perilous Imbalance offers a compelling analysis of the challenges that middle powers and their citizens face in a globalizing world.
