Abstract

After encountering the writings of neoliberal economist Friedrich Hayek in the late 1970s, the political scientist Tom Flanagan became one of the most well-known Hayekians in Canada. Over the course of a career devoted mainly to the study of Louis Riel, Metis history, and the policies of Canadian settler colonialism, Flanagan developed a particular kind of “settler-neoliberalism.” This article takes a broad view of Flanagan’s intellectual development in order to show that, once Flanagan is situated transnationally in the appropriate intellectual currents, his work stands out and represents the most thoroughgoing effort, if not the only one, to deploy neoliberal ideas systematically in the service, or the defence, of a settler-colonial project. By examining the ways in which neoliberal ideas enabled Flanagan’s defence of settler colonialism, this article concludes ultimately that neoliberalism has been a collaborative companion to the Canadian settler-colonial project.
移民-新自由主义:汤姆·弗拉纳根和弗里德里希·哈耶克论大草原
在20世纪70年代末接触到新自由主义经济学家弗里德里希·哈耶克(Friedrich Hayek)的著作后,政治学家汤姆·弗拉纳根(Tom Flanagan)成为加拿大最知名的哈耶克信徒之一。弗拉纳根的职业生涯主要致力于研究路易斯·里尔、梅蒂斯人的历史和加拿大移民殖民主义政策,他发展了一种特殊的“移民新自由主义”。本文对弗拉纳根的思想发展进行了广泛的考察,以便表明,一旦弗拉纳根被置于跨国的合适的思想潮流中,他的工作脱颖而出,代表了最彻底的努力,如果不是唯一的,系统地部署新自由主义思想,为定居者-殖民项目服务或辩护。通过考察新自由主义思想使弗拉纳根为移民殖民主义辩护的方式,本文最终得出结论,新自由主义一直是加拿大移民-殖民项目的合作伙伴。

期刊介绍: Among the western nations that have played a substantive role in the making of twentieth-century history, Canada enjoys the questionable distinction of being perhaps the least known. Yet there are good reasons for everyone - Canadians included - to know more about Canada"s history. Good reasons that are apparent to regular readers of the Canadian Historical Review. The CHR offers an analysis of the ideas, people, and events that have molded Canadian society and institutions into their present state. Canada"s past is examined from a vast and multicultural perspective to provide a thorough assessment of all influences.
