Seeking to understand this peculiar reality, \u003ci\u003eFaith, Rights, and Choice\u003c\/i\u003e articulates the ways in which the provincial governance regimes developed for religious schools have changed over time.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCovering nearly three centuries, the book begins with the founding of schooling systems in New France and continues into a variety of present-day conflicts that emerged over the question of religion in schools. James Farney and Clark Banack employ a method of process-tracing, drawing on 88 semi-structured interviews with key\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003epolicy insiders. They also reference archival material documenting meetings, political speeches, and legislative debates related to government decisions around issues of religious education. Relying on the theoretical foundations of both historical institutionalism and Canadian political development, \u003ci\u003eFaith, Rights, and Choice\u003c\/i\u003e presents a new analytic framework to help make sense of the policy divergence witnessed across Canada. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40666882408545,"sku":"9781487548285","price":22.41,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_26726764.jpg?v=1726681790","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781487548285-faith-rights-and-choice","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
