Relations between Elites -- Appendices -- Index -- Backmatter This book looks at two important aspects in Canadian society: its class structure and the composition of its elites or power holding groups. A recurring theme in the analysis of both class and elite groups is that Canada has found itself in the middle of the twentieth century with inadequate institutional arrangements for the industrial society it has become. Its educational systems have failed to provide the necessary skills which in large measure have been recruited through immigration. Its elites have been drawn largely from middle and upper class "British charter groups." The author further submits that the strong emphasis in the Canadian value system on regionalism and ethnic differentiation has resulted in the fragmentation of the society, particularly at the political level, and lef tit incapable of dealing with some of its major problems as an industrial society.Although this is a sociological study in which evidence in related to social theory, the author has tried to avoid technical terms, and this, together with the particular relevance at the present time of a discussion of the nature of Canadian society, will make this book interesting tolaymen as well as specialists.Studies in the structure of power, decision-making in Canada ;2.Social classesCanadaCanadaSocial conditionsElectronic books.Social classes301.440971Porter John1921-1979,1012880MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910456414903321The vertical mosaic2353291UNINA01718nam0 2200373 i 450 CFI012142820231121125438.08811583683IT90-4482 20170717d1988 ||||0itac50 baitafreitz01i xxxe z01n˜La œprincipessa di Clèvesmadame de La Fayetteintroduzione e note di Massimo Romanotraduzione di Renata DebenedettiMilanoGarzanti1988XXIV, 157 p.18 cm.˜I œgrandi libri Garzanti368001CFI00000482001 ˜I œgrandi libri Garzanti368˜La œprincesse de ClèvesMarie M. de la FayetteCFI0017402CFIV01009326506La Fayette, Marie Madeleine : Pioche de la Vergne, comtesse deCFIV010093070166344Debenedetti, RenataCFIV069605Romano, Massimo <1944- >CFIV278361La Fayette <madame de>CFIV035594La Fayette, Marie Madeleine : Pioche de la Vergne, comtesse deMadame de La FayetteCFIV079226La Fayette, Marie Madeleine : Pioche de la Vergne, comtesse dePioche de la Vergne, Marie-MadeleineVEAV492317La Fayette, Marie Madeleine : Pioche de la Vergne, comtesse deITIT-0120170717IT-FR0017 Biblioteca umanistica Giorgio ApreaFR0017 NCFI0121428Biblioteca umanistica Giorgio Aprea 52MAG 7/1636 52FLS0000157095 VMN RS A 2017071720170717 52Princesse de Clèves26506UNICAS
