Neoliberal globalisation is understood to have a corrosive effect on the state. Reductions in economic regulatory capacities combined with an ideological attack on the public necessity of social spending has left many with the impression that the state is a weakened institution, at best.

Canada and Quebec are presented examples of how neoliberal states achieve integration.

It is purported to create unimaginable wealth and equally devastating poverty. In many ways, I am taking the easy road by circumventing these metanarratives and examining an artifact of this seemingly ubiquitous ... Read more
