Description

Richard Cooper (Harvard) examines government, markets, and citizens in the millennium; Mark Zacher (UBC), Ronald McKinnon (Stanford), and Sylvia Ostry (U of T) provide three perspectives on the changing nature of supra-natural economic and political space; Paul Boothe (U of A) focuses on alternative ways to finance the shift toward a more decentralized federation; David Wolfe (U of T) reflects on the emergence of the region state; Keith Banting (Queen's) examines the evolution of the social contract; and Richard Simeon (U of T) discusses implications of the information revolution for sovereignty and democracy. Appended to each paper are comments of the assigned discussant and an edited version of the floor discussion. Robert Young (Western) is the volume rapporteur.
