In \u003ci\u003eSleeping Dogs\u003c\/i\u003e, Andrew McDougall reveals how a change in federalist strategy, combined with an improving political context, helped Canada stabilize its federal system and bury the \"Quebec question\" for the foreseeable future. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book identifies five potential reasons the Quebec sovereignty movement lost momentum and argues that all contributed to a political environment that benefited federalists. McDougall explores topics of elite accommodation, generational change, changing identity politics, economic globalization, and constitutional fatigue. He argues that Canada’s federalist political elites have capitalized on these developments to stabilize the country by dropping the national question – even when they might still hold very different visions of the Constitution. Building on \"constitutional abeyance\" theory, the author conceives of this strategic change as the restoration of a constitutional abeyance among federalist actors. Considering recent history in light of subsequent developments, \u003ci\u003eSleeping Dogs\u003c\/i\u003e is a timely and important attempt to understand the evolving situation in Quebec and Canadian federalism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41504866533473,"sku":"9781487522216","price":20.92,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_28114018.jpg?v=1722325308","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781487522216-sleeping-dogs","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
