Décentralisation, subsidiarité et néo-libéralisme au Canada : lorsque l'arbre cache la forêt

摘要: As the century draws to a close, growing number of economic and political analysts promote decentralization as solution problems faced by Canadian federalism. This paper shows that leading arguments on "decentralization" are problematic in two regards. First, many those promoting this idea base their analysis inadequate definitions subsidiarity. Second, discourse hides an argument based declining role State. We believe use these concepts veil another approach seeks less reform intergovernmental relations than instill institutional framework desire see State (provincial federal) disengage from social regulatory mechanisms. analyse federal budgets 1995 1997 demonstrate our point.
