Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Section 33 what is commonly referred to as the notwithstanding clause (NWC) was written into the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms to allow Parliament and the provinces to provisionally override certain Charter rights. The Notwithstanding Clause and the Canadian Charter examines the NWC from all angles and perspectives, considering who should have the last word on matters of rights and justice the legislatures or the unelected judiciary and what balance liberal democracy requires. In the case of Quebec, the use of the clause has been justified as necessary to preserve the province's culture and promote its identity as a nation. Yet Quebec's pre-emptive and sweeping invocation of the clause also challenges the scope of judicial review and citizens' recourse to it, and it tests the assumption that a dialogue between the judiciary and the legislature is always preferable in instances in which the legislative branch decides to suspend the operation of certain Charter rights and freedoms. By virtue of its contested purposes, interpretations, operation, and applications, the NWC represents and, to an extent, defines both the character and the very real vulnerabilities of liberal constitutionalism in Canada. The significance, effects, and legitimacy of the NWC have been vigorously debated within scholarship and among politicians and activists since the patriation of the Canadian Constitution in 1982. In The Notwithstanding Clause and the Canadian Charter leading scholars, jurists, and policy experts elucidate and prescribe reforms to the application of this consequential clause about which so much is written, and around which there is relatively little consensus. The significance, effects, and legitimacy of Section 33 of the Charter have been vigorously debated. The Notwithstanding Clause and the Canadian Charter examines the NWC from all perspectives, asking who should have the last word on matters of rights and justice the legislatures or the judiciary and what balance liberal democracy requires.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Liberal democracy is in crisis. How did we get here and how can we rescue it Featuring: Noa Mendelsohn Aviv, Peter L. Biro, Michael R.J. Bonner, Thomas Homer-Dixon, Scott Janzwood, Michel J. Paradis, Dennis Pilon, Sascha Priewe, George S. Takach, and Lucan Ahmad WayWith liberal democracy in crisis around the world, ten contributors -- all experts in their respective fields of political science, philosophy, law, cultural institutions, and diplomacy -- explain why we find ourselves in a state of democratic backsliding, what the stakes are for constitutional democracy, and how we might build a more vibrant and resilient civic culture. Reckoning with the bigger challenges confronting liberal democratic institutions, this group interrogates core assumptions, raises important questions about their philosophical and political origins, and asks whether liberal democracy has even been fully realized in Canada and elsewhere. These essays consider a more critical role for cultural institutions, the place of public engagement -- of activism -- alongside formal legal processes to defend and champion civil liberties, and both the perils of artificial intelligence and its power in better serving the causes of freedom and democracy. Taken together, the contributions awaken readers to liberal democracy's purpose, vulnerabilities, and shortcomings while inspiring them with its unfulfilled potential and imperfect but worthy ideal.…

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 2015 MuseumsEtc paperback edition. Light reading wear else very good condition. The Caring Museum explores - in a practical way - current and developmental issues in the field of museums, galleries and ageing, with a clear emphasis on the emerging and innovative opportunities which ageing populations present. The book explores both the contribution older people are making to the development of museums and the ways in which museums are increasingly contributing to society in an ageing world. Population ageing is leading to major social change globally - and population growth is quickest in the oldest age groups. As a result, museums and galleries are having to adapt to the many opportunities and challenges which are already impacting them. Ageing is often depicted as being all about decline - mental, physical, personal, institutional and social - with little or nothing beneficial in the equation. Yet the reality is much more positive, complex, and nuanced. Museums and galleries have long known and understood that older age does not automatically negate our capacity for creativity, engagement and contribution. In this important book, leading museum and gallery professionals in the UK, USA, Europe and Australasia share their experience and offer key insights on how to respond to the changes which population-level ageing brings. This is not a passive collection of positive stories but one which recognizes the ups and downs of making the effort to engage with older people.
