Becoming an Antiracist Educator: The Life and Work of Timothy J. Stanley
(2026-03-10) Ng-A-Fook, Nicholas; Currie, Mark T. S.; Conway, Shannon; Cutrara, Samantha; Gibson, Lindsay; Grant, Nichole E.; den Heyer, Kent; Montgomery, Ken; Farah, Virani-Murji; Nazari, Noorin; Rogers, Pamela; Smith, Bryan; Smith, Joseph; Stanley, Timothy J.; Tateishi, Doug
Becoming an Antiracist Educator honours the enduring influence of Timothy J. Stanley, a visionary historian whose work has reshaped how racism, racialization, and historical consciousness are understood in Canada. This timely collection gathers scholars, teachers, and community advocates who reflect on how Stanley’s scholarship and mentorship have challenged and guided their own commitments to antiracist education. Spanning generations and disciplinary backgrounds, the contributors offer deeply personal and politically grounded reflections that connect Stanley’s insights to the pressing realities of our time. They engage questions raised by the toppling of colonial statues, the resurgence of anti-Asian racism, and the uncovering of unmarked graves at residential school sites. Together, they show that antiracist teaching is not only about critiquing systems, but about reimagining how we understand the past, how we tell our histories, and how we live with one another in the present. Concluding with a moving epilogue by Stanley, this collection speaks to educators, researchers, and community members seeking to confront racism in schools, museums, universities, and public life. It offers both a testament to his legacy and an invitation to carry that work forward with courage and care. Becoming an Antiracist Educator is an essential resource for educators, scholars, and community members committed to interrupting racism in schools, museums, universities, and beyond. It offers not only an archive of Stanley’s impact but a roadmap for those seeking to carry his work forward in practical and transformative ways.
The Security of Self: A Human-Centric Approach to Cybersecurity
(2025-12-09) Laidlaw, Emily B.; Martin-Bariteau, Florian
Cybersecurity is a powerful concept often examined through the lens of national security and organizational risks. It however demands a deeper understanding to empower our societies—and ourselves—to thrive in the digital context. This edited collection explores a new approach to human-centric cybersecurity: the security of self. It invites a paradigm shift where cybersecurity’s core purpose is to protect people—and society—from harm, and where empowering individual and collective rights defines what it means to provide a secure cyber environment. With a distinct Canadian focus, and case studies spanning the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, virtual reality and social media, this collection charts a path forward for cybersecurity, grounded in law, policy and practices that advance the security of self. This collection serves as a valuable resource for researchers, policymakers, regulators and individuals seeking to understand and shape the future of human-centric cybersecurity.
Aristotle, Oedipus, and Greek Religion
(2025-12-02) Groarke, Louis F.
Aristotle, Oedipus, and Greek Religion explores an important religious side of ancient Aristotelianism, one which has an impact on contemporary philosophical debates. Louis F. Groarke shows how an exegetical perspective open to and respectful of Greek Pagan religion allows readers to discover a remarkably different Aristotle than the one to which we have grown accustomed. To begin with, one must discover what Aristotle (and his school) taught, not by examining isolated passages, but by getting a sense of his philosophy as a whole. One has to make sense of the circumstantial evidence and carefully piece together a coherent technical case for the overall argument. In each chapter, Groarke considers another aspect of Aristotelian thought; this is in opposition to mainstream opinion which often describes Aristotle as a secret atheist, an agnostic, or as something akin to a modern-day positivist or a reductionist. The author goes on to show that Aristotle valued religious practice on a personal and social level, that his metaphysics are marked by intimations of the divine, that he provides an epistemological space for both science and religion, that his account of Greek tragedy has an inalienable moral and religious side, and that his account of the origins of cognition is not so far removed from religious scripture. Aristotle, Oedipus, and Greek Religion is an analysis of universal themes from the viewpoint of an enormously influential ancient thinker, and an adventure into the history of ideas.
Critical Conversations in Canadian Public Law
(2025-11-11) McGill, Jena; Drake, Karen; Kirkup, Kyle; Levesque, Anne; Sealy-Harringto, Joshua
Critical Conversations in Canadian Public Law is a groundbreaking open-access collection of peer-reviewed essays showcasing interdisciplinary thinking on topical public law issues at the forefront of the evolving relationship between state and society. In Canada, this relationship is undergoing a period of significant reinvention, as evidenced, for example, by the movements for reconciliation, decolonization and Indigenization, the calls to recognize and remedy systemic racism in institutions including police forces, and the recent extension of human rights protections to prohibit discrimination based on gender identity or expression. These examples reveal that we are experiencing a moment where claims that challenge the normative foundations of the discipline of public law are being made in real time; claims about citizenship, rights, and access to resources and benefits; claims about what substantive and procedural fairness look like, and for whom; claims about the obligations and limits of the state to proactively address both historical and current injustices; and challenges to the underlying assumptions about the state itself. Critical Conversations in Canadian Public Law highlights the intersections of critical perspectives–including intersectional approaches to decolonial and Indigenous legal theory, Indigenous constitutionalisms, critical race theory, feminisms, queer theory and critical disability theory–and public law topics, broadly defined. This collection bridges the divide between traditional, largely liberal, public law scholarship and critical perspectives by centring critical theories as not only relevant, but imperative, to robust, fully contextualized understandings of contemporary public law challenges.
Intellectual Property Futures: Exploring the Global Landscape of IP Law and Policy
(2025-11-11) Reynolds, Graham J.; Mogyoros, Alexandra; Dagne, Teshager W.
The past few decades have been witness to a number of important developments with respect to the global intellectual property (IP) system, including shifts in focus between multilateralism and bilateralism/regionalism; growing recognition of the various ways in which IP intersects with and impacts areas including human rights, development, trade, and social justice; broad acknowledgement of the economic value of many IP rights; and important theoretical interventions that have challenged the values underlying the global IP system. These developments have occurred alongside several other events, changes, and crises that have altered the landscape of our global communities. Chief among them are climate change; armed conflicts; the COVID-19 pandemic; economic changes to work; technological shifts including those relating to the internet and artificial intelligence, and their role in society; and growing recognition of the inequities that exist within and between societies as well as the ways in which these inequities are reinforced and maintained through systemic discrimination and ongoing colonialism. Given these developments, changes, and crises, what is the future of IP law and policy? Featuring contributions from scholars from across Canada and around the world, this collection offers insights into eighteen possible futures for the global IP system. Collectively, these chapters re-envision international agreements; rethink Canadian IP law; argue for the creation of space for Indigenous legal traditions; highlight the promises and perils of technology as it relates to IP; expose inequities and injustices, and provide possible pathways to correct them.
Visual Hunger: Number 1 / Appétits visuels : numéro 1
(2025-09-30) Salha, Dina
The growing integration of food into media content and digital culture is transforming our perceptions of food, sustainability, and global food systems. Food now serves as a powerful tool for storytelling, fueling the rise of influencers, celebrity chefs, dedicated food channels, and broader cultural industries. This pervasive media presence reflects a pressing need to critically examine the visual and narrative appetite for food—how it is consumed, represented, and commodified across both local and global contexts. L’intégration croissante de la nourriture en tant qu’objet central des contenus médiatiques et de la culture numérique reconfigure en profondeur nos représentations de l’alimentation, de la durabilité alimentaire et des systèmes alimentaires mondiaux. Mobilisée comme vecteur discursif, la nourriture participe à la construction de récits culturels et médiatiques, tout en soutenant l’émergence d’influenceurs, de chefs médiatisés, de chaînes spécialisées et de multiples industries culturelles. Cette mise en visibilité généralisée invite à une analyse critique de l’exploitation médiatique de la nourriture – de sa mise en récit à sa consommation symbolique – tant à l’échelle locale que mondiale.
Le Moulin-à-Fleur de Sudbury: Quartier ouvrier, territoire canadien-français
(2025-07-05) Dupuis, Serge; Carrey, Normand
À son apogée entre 1945 et 1975, le Moulin-à-Fleur ou la paroisse Saint-Jean-de-Brébeuf se vantait d’être le quartier francophone de Sudbury et de l’Ontario. Il représentait en effet la pierre angulaire pour les autres communautés francophones ainsi que le fondement de la vie culturelle, économique et politique des Franco-Ontariens. Mais l’histoire n’a jamais été racontée de façon détaillée. Des années de recherches approfondies ont incité les auteurs à se plonger dans de nombreux écrits, articles scientifiques, archives personnelles, articles de journaux et témoignages afin de livrer cette première étude globale. Divisé en deux volets qui se complètent, ce récit retrace à la fois l’héritage des familles qui se sont battues pour offrir un quotidien et un avenir brillants à leur descendance et la lutte féroce menée par des pionniers, notamment Omer Thériault, Gaétan Gervais et Hélène Gravel, pour la défense culturelle et patrimoniale. Mais tous ces souvenirs dorment dans les rues de l’ancien quartier ou comme Mme Tregonning-Whissell le disait, «à l’ombre des silos». Ce livre témoigne des origines d’une communauté marquée par le dur labeur des mineurs de l’International Nickel, tout en évoquant le rôle des enseignants qui éveillaient les jeunes générations à un monde de possibilités. Le Moulin-à-Fleur de Sudbury rend hommage aux valeurs de charité et d’entraide qu’incarnait ce quartier qui célèbre au-delà de 120 ans de vie communautaire et culturelle.
Migration et racialisation en temps de « crise »: La fabrique des crises et ses effets
(2025-05-07) Benhadjoudja, Leila; Clark-Kazak, Christina; Garneau, Stéphanie
Crise sanitaire, crise migratoire, crise humanitaire, crise climatique… Le renvoi répété à l’idée de crise pour désigner nombre de bouleversements sociaux laisse à penser que nous vivons désormais dans un monde « crisogène ». Or, l’urgence inhérente à l’idée de crise conduit souvent à légitimer la violation des droits et le renforcement de la surveillance, du profilage et des arrestations arbitraires, rendant visible le contrôle qu’exerce l’État sur les corps, et surtout sur certains corps. Migration et racialisation en temps de « crise » explore les ressorts coloniaux, racistes et sexistes au fondement de diverses déclarations de crise, ainsi que leurs effets. L’ensemble des contributions montre que l’état de crise apparaît comme une condition pour le maintien d’un capitalisme racial et patriarcal.
Migration and Racialization in Times of “Crisis”: The Making of Crises and their Effects
(2025-05-07) Benhadjoudja, Leila; Clark-Kazak, Christina; Garneau, Stéphanie
The health crisis, the migration crisis, the humanitarian crisis, and the climate crisis. The repeating reference to the idea of crisis to label numerous social upheavals suggests that we now live in a world defined by crisis. Yet the urgency inherent in a crisis often leads to the normalization of rights violations and increased surveillance, profiling and arbitrary arrests, making visible the state’s control over bodies, and certain bodies, in particular. Migration and Racialization in Times of “Crisis” explores the colonial, racist and sexist underpinnings of various declarations of crisis, as well as their effects. Taken together, these contributions show that the state of crisis manifests as a condition for the maintenance of racial and patriarchal capitalism. The English and French version of this title, though distinct, complement each other to offer a more comprehensive and critical look at this approach of “governing through crisis”.
Doing Democracy in "Third Places": Youth Citizenship Education
(2025-04-22) Gaudet, Stéphanie; Caron, Caroline; Théwissen-LeBlanc, Sophie; Caroline
Resulting from a collaborative approach, Doing Democracy in "Third Places" presents the results of multi-site ethnographic research in seven Quebec civil society organizations. It reports on observations, analyses and comparisons of a diversity of innovative citizenship education practices aimed at young people in these “third places”, i.e. socialization spaces different from school and family. Focusing on the presentation of case studies, the book reveals the diversity of formative experiences offered to young Quebecers. The pooling of case analyses leads to a fruitful reflection on education for democratic citizenship through a plurality of citizen experimentation practices rooted in the defense of children’s rights, feminist social action, the community movement, alterglobalism and municipal and school public action. With its original conceptual vocabulary and qualitative methodological approach, this book will help to push back the geolinguistic and disciplinary boundaries that often separate research currents closely or remotely related to the social and political engagement and participation of young people. Written in an accessible style, it is aimed at a wide audience, including youth organization staff, graduate students, the youth policy sector and anyone interested in the issues surrounding youth citizenship in the 21st century.
Bibliothèques et archives dans les communautés de langue officielle en situation minoritaire: Enjeux et devenir
(2025-04-23) Roy, Alain; Hotte, Lucie; Carrier, Hélène; Savoie, Linda; Roy
Comment les bibliothèques et les archives contribuent-elles à préserver l’histoire et le patrimoine des communautés de langue officielle en situation minoritaire (CLOSM)? Cet ouvrage examine leur rôle clé dans la préservation de la mémoire collective et leur impact sur la vitalité culturelle de ces communautés. Cette analyse s’articule autour de plusieurs dimensions essentielles. Elle examine d’abord comment le patrimoine documentaire soutient la mémoire collective et met en lumière les efforts déployés par les bibliothèques et les centres d’archives pour la promouvoir et la rendre accessible. Elle s’intéresse ensuite aux politiques nécessaires pour lever les barrières linguistiques et renforcer l’accès aux ressources culturelles. Enfin, elle s’attarde à l’état et au développement des collections, en portant une attention particulière à la représentation des CLOSM. Structuré en deux grandes sections, cet ouvrage offre une riche réflexion sur les bibliothèques et leur rôle dans le soutien aux communautés linguistiques minoritaires, tout en adoptant une perspective nationale et internationale. Il explore également l’apport essentiel des archives communautaires à la vitalité des CLOSM à travers le pays, soulignant leur importance dans la préservation et le dynamisme des identités collectives. Avec son approche unique et éclairante, ce livre s’adresse à celles et ceux qui s’intéressent à la préservation du patrimoine et au rôle des institutions culturelles dans le développement des communautés linguistiques minoritaires.
Staging Prison Theatre in Canada: Setting the Spotlight on William Head on Stage
(2025-04-01) Thana, Ridha; Sylvie, Frigon
For over forty years, William Head on Stage (WHoS) has operated as an inmate-run prison theatre, making it one of Canada’s longest-standing prison arts initiatives. Staging Prison Theatre in Canada: Setting the Spotlight on William Head on Stage delves into the story of WHoS through the voices of the men involved, offering a unique criminological perspective that situates their experiences within the prison context. The analysis explores how WHoS creates an alternative space within the social and emotional realities of incarceration. By unlocking participants’ capacities, skills, and confidence, the initiative fosters a sense of agency and community both inside the prison and beyond. WHoS becomes a space for transformation, offering men opportunities to re-imagine themselves and build meaningful connections. This work underscores the broader significance of arts-based initiatives like WHoS, not only within prisons but also in the fields of criminology, theatre, and community engagement. It offers valuable insights for correctional administrators, criminologists, theatre practitioners, scholars, students, and anyone interested in the intersection of art and rehabilitation.
Artificial Intelligence’s Impact on Legal Journals / Incidence de l’intelligence artificielle sur les revues de droit : Challenges and Opportunities for the Ottawa Law Review / Défis et possibilités pour la Revue de droit d’Ottawa
(2025-03-05) Campagnolo, Yan
Artificial Intelligence’s Impact on Legal Journals provides an overview of the opportunities and challenges presented by the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and its impact on legal journals, including the Ottawa Law Review (OLR). Throughout the publication lifecycle of a given piece, AI tools may play a pivotal role in enhancing the editorial and publishing processes. Similarly, authors submitting to legal journals may also leverage AI tools for purposes that range from improving readability to generating content. While the potential benefits are significant, the use of such tools raises various issues pertaining to the accuracy and quality of publications, as well as broader ethical and legal issues. Journals have responded to these opportunities and challenges at different speeds and in different ways. Some journals in non-legal disciplines have developed extensive AI policies, while the majority of legal journals appear to be falling behind in this regard. This book contains several recommendations that will empower the OLR to embrace the transformative potential of AI responsibly while maintaining its commitment to safeguarding privacy, intellectual property, and scholarly rigour. Central to this endeavour is the adoption of three AI policies: one covering the use of generative AI and AI-assisted technologies in submissions, another addressing AI usage in the peer review process, and a final one relating to the editorial team. This book ultimately aspires to ensure the OLR upholds its reputation as a reliable contributor to legal scholarship by guiding the organization through this new technological revolution. --- Incidence de l’intelligence artificielle sur les revues de droit discute des possibilités et des défis que présente le recours à l’intelligence artificielle (IA), ainsi que de son incidence sur les revues de droit, notamment la Revue de droit d’Ottawa (RDO). Tout au long du cycle de publication d’un article donné, les outils d’IA peuvent jouer un rôle clé pour améliorer les processus de révision et de publication. Les auteurs et autrices qui soumettent des articles à des revues de droit peuvent aussi tirer parti d’outils d’IA à des fins allant de l’amélioration de la lisibilité de leurs textes à la génération de contenu. Bien que les avantages potentiels soient considérables, le recours à de tels outils soulève diverses questions quant à l’exactitude et à la qualité des publications, de même que des questions éthiques et juridiques plus larges. Les revues ont réagi à ces possibilités et défis à des rythmes différents et de façons diverses. Certaines d’entre elles, spécialisées dans des disciplines autres que le droit, ont élaboré des politiques détaillées quant au recours à l’IA, tandis que la plupart des revues de droit semblent accuser un retard à cet égard. Cet ouvrage formule plusieurs recommandations qui permettront à la RDO d’exploiter le potentiel transformateur de l’IA de manière responsable, tout en maintenant son engagement à protéger la confidentialité des soumissions ainsi que la propriété intellectuelle et la rigueur scientifique. Pour assurer l’atteinte de ces objectifs, il est capital que trois politiques relatives à l’IA soient adoptées : une politique sur le recours à l’IA générative et aux technologies assistées par l’IA dans les soumissions, une autre sur l’utilisation de l’IA dans le cadre du processus d’évaluation par les pairs et une dernière en lien avec l’équipe de rédaction. En définitive, le présent cet ouvrage vise à aider la RDO à maintenir sa réputation à titre de contributrice fiable à l’avancement de la recherche juridique en orientant son approche dans le contexte de cette nouvelle révolution technologique.

Faire l’expérience de la démocratie: Les tiers-lieux de l’éducation à la citoyenneté des jeunes au Québec
(2024-12-04) Stéphanie, Gaudet; Stéphanie, Gaudet; Caroline, Caron
Fruit d’une démarche collaborative, Faire l’expérience de la démocratie présente les résultats d’une recherche ethnographique multisite dans sept organisations de la société civile québécoise. Il rend compte des observations, des analyses et de la comparaison d’une diversité de pratiques d’éducation citoyenne innovantes destinées aux jeunes dans ces « tiers-lieux », c’est-à-dire des espaces de socialisation différents de l’école et de la famille. Axé sur les cas analysés, l’ouvrage fait apparaître la variété des expériences formatrices offertes à de jeunes Québécoises et Québécois. La mise en commun des observations donne lieu à une réflexion féconde sur l’éducation à la citoyenneté démocratique à l’aide d’une pluralité d’expérimentations citoyennes inscrites dans la défense des droits des enfants, l’action sociale féministe, le mouvement communautaire, l’altermondialisme et l’action publique municipale et scolaire. Grâce à son vocabulaire conceptuel et à son approche méthodologique qualitative originale, cet ouvrage repousse les frontières géolinguistiques et disciplinaires qui séparent souvent des courants de recherche touchant de près ou de loin à l’engagement et à la participation sociale et politique des jeunes.
Journal of Prisoners on Prisons, V31 #1
(2022-01-11) Piché, Justin
This general issue of the Journal of Prisoners on Prisons edited by Justin Piché and Kevin Walby features articles by current and former prisoners documenting the latest trends in penal policy and practice in the United States. The issue also features an article to “The Dialogue on the Canadian Carceral State” that explores the punitiveness of Canada’s immigration system, a “Response” paper on the struggle over the future of the decommissioned Prison for Women (P4W) as a site of memory, as well as “Prisoners’ Struggles” contributions, and a book review. The cover art, featuring the pieces “Carceral Landscape” and “Close the Bastard Down!”, was created by Peter Collins – a former Canadian prisoner serving a life sentence who died behind bars of cancer.
Northern Ontario in Historical Statistics, 1871–2021: Expansion, Growth, and Decline in a Hinterland-Colonial Region
(2024-09-17) Leadbeater, David
Based on original historical tables, Northern Ontario in Historical Statistics, 1871–2021 offers an overview of major long-term population, social composition, employment, and urban concentration trends over 150 years in the region now called “Northern Ontario” (or “Nord de l’Ontario”). David Leadbeater and his collaborators compare Northern Ontario relative to Southern Ontario, as well as detail changes at the district and local levels. They also examine the employment population rate, unemployment, economic dependency, and income distribution, particularly over recent decades of decline since the 1970s. Although deeply experienced by Indigenous peoples, the settler-colonial structure of Northern Ontario’s development plays little explicit analytical role in official government discussions and policy. Northern Ontario in Historical Statistics, 1871–2021, therefore, aims to provide context for the long-standing hinterland colonial question: How do ownership, control, and use of the land and its resources benefit the people who live there? Leadbeater and his collaborators pay special attention to foundational conditions in Northern Ontario’s hinterland-colonial development including Indigenous relative to settler populations, treaty and reserve areas, and provincially controlled “unorganized territories.” Colonial biases in Canadian censuses are discussed critically as a contribution towards decolonizing changes in official statistics.
Gouverner les migrations pour perpétuer la mondialisation: Gestion migratoire et Organisation internationale pour les migrations
(2024-04-24) Ahouga, Younès
La gestion migratoire est un imaginaire qui préconise l’ouverture régulée face aux migrations internationales. Il réduit leur complexité pour les rendre intelligibles, les gouverner d’une manière dépolitisée et technocratique, et pour perpétuer les flux de la mondialisation. Mais en l’absence d’un régime international de la migration, la gestion migratoire est concurrencée par les imaginaires de la sécurisation et de la libéralisation des migrations. Sa sédimentation durable dépend alors de la construction matérielle de ses interprétations à travers des institutions. Pour comprendre cette évolution de la gestion migratoire de l’interprétation à la construction, cet ouvrage retrace les trois moments de son émergence, de sa sélection et de son maintien au sein de l’Organisation internationale pour la migration (OIM). Cette institution clé de la gouvernance migratoire a été marquée du début des années 2000 à 2018 par l’extension de son rôle et de ses activités à l’aune de la gestion migratoire. Cet ouvrage mobilise une approche qui mêle économie politique culturelle et analyse critique du discours pour examiner l’évolution d’un imaginaire à partir de l’interaction entre production de sens, capacité d’action des acteurs sociaux, structuration du contexte institutionnel, et technologies gouvernementales. Fort de l’analyse de réunions et documents de l’OIM, l’ouvrage révèle comment divers fonctionnaires internationaux, diplomates et experts ont formulé, diffusé, matérialisé ou encore contesté la gestion migratoire. L’étude de cet imaginaire permet de comprendre la transformation de l’OIM et son rôle dans la constitution d’une nouvelle gouvernance migratoire suite à l’adoption en 2018 du Pacte mondial pour les migrations.
The Afterworld: Long COVID and International Relations
(2024-04-30) Mérand, Frédéric; Welsh, Jennifer; Frédéric; Jennifer
COVID-19 sparked the largest global crisis of the 21st century, extending well beyond public health. For some, the impact was swift and dramatic, with the pandemic pushing tens of millions into poverty and creating extreme food insecurity; for others, the transformations are still bubbling under the surface. Efforts to arrest the spread of COVID-19 entailed far-reaching forms of government intervention and the extensive use of new technologies. Questions thus remain as to whether the societal changes brought about by COVID-19 will endure in the post-pandemic period. The return of geopolitics, along with the war in Ukraine and tensions in Asia, have further complexified an already complex global situation. Since March 2020, there has been an explosion of analyses about the short-term impacts and future global consequences of COVID-19. Parallels to the 1930s collapse of Europe have been made, as recounted by Stefan Zweig in his famous memoir, The World of Yesterday. While most commentators are pessimistic, some are looking for positive change. Faced with this unprecedented crisis, we have been propelled to think about how, in the “next world,” we can strengthen economic prosperity, social justice, the environment, gender relations, public health, and political institutions—or at least ensure that these features of our world do not continue to deteriorate. In The Afterworld, 50 professors from four Montreal universities, among the foremost experts in their fields, propose progressive, pragmatic, and social science-based ideas with the potential to improve international cooperation, security, human rights, and sustainable prosperity beyond the pandemic.
Haïti: Le sous-développement durable
(2023-12-06) Lovinski, Vladimir Pierre Antoine
Les stratégies de développement priorisées correspondent-elles à la réalité et aux besoins locaux dans la société haïtienne ? Les acteurs locaux participent-ils au processus de développement économique ? Quelle place occupe le local dans la fabrication des décisions collectives ? La classe dirigeante et les décideurs publics éprouvent-ils une certaine volonté pour que le processus du développement local et la décentralisation soient une réalité effective en Haïti ? Les fondements des deux notions tout juste évoquées voudraient que les acteurs, les citoyens et les pouvoirs locaux prennent part au processus décisionnel devant aboutir à la formulation des politiques de développement. Or, dans les faits, la planification locale du développement est une réalité difficile à institutionnaliser. Basée essentiellement sur une interprétation multidimensionnelle du développement et sur une approche institutionnelle de l’analyse des politiques publiques, la réflexion que propose Lovinski incite à interroger les politiques de développement priorisées par les décideurs publics. L’auteur examine les démarches entreprises dans la conduite des politiques de développement et montre à quoi elles ont abouti tout comme il saisit les dynamiques en marche et en appréhende les ambiguïtés.
