Nationalistic Minorities and Liberal TraditionsIn his introduction to this collection of essays by constitutional experts, Philip Bryden says that Canadians can be proud of their commitment to the protection of rights and liberties in the Charter. Canada, he believes, is a better place to live then it would be otherwise. Nevertheless, as the essays in this book reveal, the case in favour of the Charter is not simple or one-sided. For instance, Kim Campbell, minister of justice at the time of writing, and Jeffrey Simpson of the Globe and Mail express concern that the Charter promotes a rights discourse that threatens to overwhelm the ordinary politics of recognizing and accommodating different interests. Dean Lynn Smith of the University of British Columbia law faculty observes that the Charter rights are better understood as complementing than as supplanting traditional mechanisms. The authors, diverse in background and outlook, reflect varying points of view but share a significant degree of consensus on issues that need to be addressed.Civil rightsCanadaCanadaPolitics and government1980-Electronic books.Civil rights323/.0971/09048Davis Steven1937-Bryden P.Russell John1956-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910456506503321Protecting rights and freedoms2491167UNINA04418nam 2200565 450 991079292330332120180411132622.01-78533-497-210.1515/9781785334979(CKB)3710000001400456(MiAaPQ)EBC4873534(DE-B1597)635918(DE-B1597)9781785334979(EXLCZ)99371000000140045620170713h20172017 uy 0engurcnu||||||||rdacontentrdamediardacarrierLabour, unions and politics under the North Star labour, unions and politics in the Nordic countries, 1600-2000 /edited by Mary Hilson, Silke Neunsinger and Iben VyffNew York ;Oxford, [England] :Berghahn Books,2017.©20171 online resource (330 pages) illustrationsInternational Studies in Social History1-78533-496-4 Includes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters and index.Frontmatter -- Contents -- Illustrations -- Tables and Maps -- Acknowledgements -- Abbreviations -- Labour, Unions and Politics in the Nordic Countries, c. 1700–2000 Introduction -- Chapter 1 Connecting Labour: Organizing Swedish Ironmaking in an Atlantic Context -- Chapter 2 ‘Forest Men’ How Scandinavian Loggers’ Understandings of ‘Real Men’ and ‘Real Work’ are Rooted in Personal Narratives and Popular Culture about Forest Life -- Chapter 3 Diverse, rather than Desperate: Housewifization and Industrial Home Work in Sweden, 1906–1912 -- Chapter 4 Housemaids of the Past and Au Pairs of Today in Denmark: Do They Have Anything in Common? -- Chapter 5 Trade Unionism in Denmark, 1870–1940 – from the Perspective of Work -- Chapter 6 Labour Migration and Industrial Relations: Recruitment of Foreign-Born Workers to the Swedish Engineering Industry after the Second World War -- Chapter 7 Land Agitation and the Rise of Agrarian Socialism in South- Western Finland, 1899–1907 -- Chapter 8 Strike in Finland, Revolution in Russia: The Role of Workers in the 1905 General Strike in the Grand Duchy of Finland -- Chapter 9 Radicalism or Integration: Socialist and Liberal Parties in Norway, 1890–1914 -- Chapter 10 ‘Norden’ as a Transnational Space in the 1930s: Negotiated Consensus of ‘Nordicness’ in the Nordic Cooperation Committee of the Labour Movement -- Chapter 11 Facing the Nation: Nordic Communists and their National Contexts, from the 1920s and into the Cold War -- Chapter 12 Tall inn – Stockholm – Hamburg – Copenhagen – Oslo: The Northern Dimension of the Comintern’s Global Network and Underground Activities, 1920–1940 -- Chapter 13 Danish Cadres at the Moscow Party School, 1958–1960 -- IndexDenmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden today all enjoy a reputation for strong labour movements, which in turn are widely seen as part of a distinctive regional approach to politics, collective bargaining and welfare. But as this volume demonstrates, narratives of the so-called “Nordic model” can obscure the fact that experiences of work and the fortunes of organized labour have varied widely throughout the region and across different historical periods. Together, the essays collected here represent an ambitious intervention in labour historiography and European history, exploring themes such as work, unions, politics and migration from the early modern period to the twenty-first century.International studies in social history.LaborScandinaviaHistoryLabor unionsScandinaviaHistoryLabor movementScandinaviaHistoryLabor policyScandinaviaHistoryNordic Model, Labor Movements, Labor History, Scandinavia, Welfare State.LaborHistory.Labor unionsHistory.Labor movementHistory.Labor policyHistory.331.0948Hilson MaryNeunsinger SilkeVyff IbenMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910792923303321Labour, unions and politics under the North Star3820099UNINA
