Canadian Federalism and the Anti-Globalization Movement: Managing Violence through Evolution | ||
in Federalism-E , volume 11, April , 2010 , 52-63 | ||
Federalism, in the Canadian experience, has been an adept form of political organization in response to the integrative economic processes of globalization. Canada’s ability to successfully transition from a domestic development economic model to a liberal free trade model without accompanying political shocks in the 1990s illustrates the resilience of its federal political structure to negotiate competing interests. Globalization’s economic impact, multiplied by innovative communication technology, influences every aspect of economic and political decision-making today. The accompanying reaction to globalization, anti-globalization, poses a range of challenges to extant economic and political methods of organization. | ||
