Deux constats ressortent de cette étude. On assisterait d'abord à une diversification de l'ordre du jour médiatique s'expliquant notamment par un recul de la question nationale dans l'espace médiatique au profit d'enjeux comme l'environnement et l'immigration. Le recadrage de la question nationale nettement plus axée aujourd'hui sur la dimension identitaire que sur la question du statut politique du Québec est frappant. Ces changements semblent indiquer la montée d'un axe politique libéral-autoritaire dans la province, alors même que l’émergence du multipartisme ouvre la porte à un réalignement politique durable. Ces observations tendent à confirmer la perspective voulant que l'ordre du jour lors d'une campagne résulte de l'interaction entre les médias, les partis et les électeurs et qu'il offre ainsi un reflet adéquat de l’évolution de la dynamique politique dans une société donnée.","PeriodicalId":9491,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Political Science","volume":"355 1","pages":"26 - 48"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80121496","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The surge in New Democratic Party (NDP) support in Quebec led the party to official opposition, while Liberal gains in 2011 led the party to a majority government, and Bloc Québécois gains in 2019 helped to reduce the Liberals to a minority. To what extent was this volatility driven by voters switching parties and to what degree was it driven by voters entering and exiting the electorate? This article uses ecological inference based on riding-level data to examine the dynamics of party competition in Quebec from 2008 to 2019. We show that while voter mobilization mattered to volatility, vote switching was the important driver of changing party fortunes during this period.","PeriodicalId":9491,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Political Science","volume":"69 1","pages":"49 - 71"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89086846","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using a list experiment, our results demonstrate that many Canadians believe that men are “naturally better” leaders than are women and that women are “too emotional” and “too nice” for politics. While some groups are willing to explicitly own these views when asked directly about them (for example, older people, men, those who are more conservative and religious), others are unwilling to do so unless social desirability is mitigated (for example, younger people, left-leaning). By overcoming concerns with social desirability, we show that women still face explicit, often sexist, barriers in political work.","PeriodicalId":9491,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Political Science","volume":"47 1","pages":"209 - 221"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74460584","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I focus on work aimed at deepening inclusion in deliberative systems, noting that this focus on inclusion into unjust systems stops the deliberative literature from taking full responsibility for structural and systemic racism. Taking a critical approach to the deliberative literature's capacity to confront systemic racism and live up to its normative principles of treating all people as equals, I argue that we need to reframe power to centre the relationship between race and democracy. As I do so, I propose ways to begin dismantling foundational injustice in deliberative systems, centring foundational inequalities in deliberative theory and design, and setting out differential responsibilities for listening as deliberative theorists confront the problem of white supremacy in deliberative systems.","PeriodicalId":9491,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Political Science","volume":"84 1","pages":"92 - 112"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76156247","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"Revisiting Marx's Critique of Liberalism: Rethinking Justice, Legality and Rights Igor Shoikhedbrod, London: Palgrave Macmillan, 2019, pp. 256","authors":"Paul Gray","doi":"10.1017/S0008423922000993","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1017/S0008423922000993","url":null,"abstract":"In this work of interpretive political theory, Shoikhedbrod contends that Marx’s critique of liberalism has been misunderstood by supporters and detractors alike. In what Shoikhedbrod calls the “orthodox” interpretation, Marx dismisses rights and legality as such. Challenging this orthodoxy, Shoikhedbrod argues that Marx’s critique of liberalism is supported by a theory of communist right and law. Furthermore, Marx’s critique remains relevant in contemporary capitalism with its deepening inequalities. First, Shoikhedbrod offers a “reconstruction” of Marx’s critique of liberal rights and law. This terminology suggests that the materials are there, but they are fragments scattered across Marx’s various works, including newspaper articles and trial defence speeches. For Marx, liberal rights are formal, atomized, and depoliticized, because of the class domination and exploitation inherent to private ownership of the means of production. Nevertheless, Marx acknowledges the historical significance of these rights and believes that their progress beyond unequal feudal privileges will continue through the eventual transcendence of capitalism. Rights and legality will not wither away in communism. Using Hegel’s concept of aufhebung, or “sublation,” Shoikhedbrod argues that, for Marx, the freedom and equality achieved by liberal rights can be preserved while the private property that limits them can be negated. This raises freedom and equality to a higher form in which these rights are more consistently applied. This is why Marx asserts that, in communism, “the freedom of each is the condition of the freedom of all.” Second, Shoikhedbrod brings this reconstructed Marx to bear on contemporary theory and practice. Global financial capitalism has provoked renewed attention to inequality, precariousness and global justice. Shoikhedbrod engages with four thinkers who, amid these developments, have foregrounded egalitarian concerns: John Rawls, Jürgen Habermas, Axel Honneth and Nancy Fraser. All four thinkers are concerned with the ways in which the formal equalities found in right and law can be undermined by substantive social inequalities. Furthermore, all four have revisited Marx’s critique as part of their own engagement with liberalism. Shoikhedbrod contends that the reconstructed Marx can correct or supplement the shortcomings in each of their theories of liberalism. For example, Rawls’s theory of property-owning democracy could not ensure as full an expression of freedom and equality as the economic democracy of Marx’s associated production. Third, Shoikhedbrod reconsiders the relation between Marxism and the rule of law by interpreting a number of Marx’s scattered assertions about legality and constitutionalism. Shoikhedbrod argues that there are good textual grounds for rebutting the theory, exemplified by the Soviet legal scholar Evgeny Pashukanis, that class domination and state coercion are inherent to all forms of law. Shoikhedbrod contends that si","PeriodicalId":9491,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Political Science","volume":"20 1","pages":"490 - 491"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82243800","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
