Protecting Canadian Democracy examines the history, role, and evolution of the Senate; places it in the context of other federal systems; and contrasts its role with that of provincial governments. Contributors analyse the Senate's use of its legislative powers, comparing it with the House of Commons, and assess the Senate's contribution to public policy development and review, showing how the upper chamber functions as a forum within Parliament for the representation of Canada's diverse regional, linguistic, cultural, and socio-economic interests.POLITICAL SCIENCE / GeneralbisacshPOLITICAL SCIENCE / General.328.71/071Joyal Serge1945-972900Canadian Centre for Management Development.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782078103321Protecting Canadian democracy3750438UNINA04361nam 22006495 450 991086657950332120250808085220.09783031570414(electronic bk.)978303157040710.1007/978-3-031-57041-4(MiAaPQ)EBC31497580(Au-PeEL)EBL31497580(CKB)32320332900041(DE-He213)978-3-031-57041-4(OCoLC)1443936353(EXLCZ)993232033290004120240620d2024 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierRace, Ethnicity, and Violence in South Sudan /by Amir Idris1st ed. 2024.Cham :Springer Nature Switzerland :Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan,2024.1 online resource (175 pages)African Histories and Modernities,2634-5781Print version: Idris, Amir Race, Ethnicity, and Violence in South Sudan Cham : Springer International Publishing AG,c2024 9783031570407 Chapter 1. Introduction -- Chapter 2. The Invention of South Sudan -- Chapter 3. The Formation of a Racialized State.-Chapter 4. Racialized Nationalism and Nation-Building -- Chapter 5. Ethnic Violence as Politics—December 2013 Massacre -- Chapter 6. De-inventing South Sudan.The purpose of this book is to understand how and why “liberators” of South Sudan have become perpetrators of ethnically driven violence. How and why did violence happen immediately after independence in South Sudan? South Sudan slid into civil war in December 2013, just two years after winning its hard-won independence. A great deal has been written about the conflict and violence of this period, much of which emphasizes the notion that the root causes of the conflict can be traced to the ethnic division and hatred among the population or the lack of state capacity to manage ethnic diversity and hostilities. However, the existing literature exhibits important analytical gaps, focusing primarily on the state of the violence and the immediate political history of South Sudan dating back to its political independence in 2011, but lacking critical analysis of historical and anthropological interpretations of state and society. This book addresses these gaps in knowledge and understanding and in so doing seeks to explain how and why liberators become perpetrators of violence, and how the intersection of the legacies of slavery, colonialism, and national liberation struggle contributed to violence in South Sudan. Through a comprehensive exploration of identity and violence within the broader context of state formation, the book sheds light on why those who sought sovereignty may turn against their own, drawing parallels with colonial discourse. It aspires to provide nuanced frameworks and empirical insight for scholars, students, practitioners, and policymakers engaged in South Sudan, politics, development, and peacebuilding.
