Urban social movements have traditionally been seen as being preoccupied with local issues and as a result have been marginalised in the wider study of social movements. However, the increasing globalization of cities and the international flow of people, money and policy, have meant that the local issues urban movements engage with are becoming less parochial and more global.

The first focuses on the new repertoire of collective...

La - question du Quebec - se pose des l adoption de l Acte de l Amerique du Nord britannique en 1867 et n a jamais cesse depuis de mobiliser le debat constitutionnel au Canada. Reactivee pendant la Revolution tranquille dans les annees 1960, elle n a pas trouve la reponse attendue. Depuis le rapatriement de la Constitution canadienne initie en 1981 et mis en uvre en 1982 par Pierre Elliott Trudeau, l imbroglio constitutionnel est dans l impasse. L esprit de reconciliation ou de compromis s evanouit suite a l echec de l Accord du lac Meech (1990) et de l Accord de Charlottetown (1992). Depuis...

The region is back in town. Galloping urbanization has pushed beyond historical notions of metropolitanism. City-regions have experienced, in Edward Soja's terms, "an epochal shift in the nature of the city and the urbanization process, marking the beginning of the end of the modern metropolis as we knew it."
