MSN Encarta - Canada Bouchard’s determination to continue the pursuit of sovereignty challenged Chrétien’s federal government, which had hoped that a clear victory in the referendum would enable it to focus on other issues. In Québec the failure of the accord was widely interpreted as a rejection of Québec itself, and support for sovereignty surged. Above all, the Chrétien government remained vulnerable to constitutional crisis as sentiment for sovereignty remained high in Québec. encarta.msn.com /encyclopedia_761563379_31/Canada.html   (2259 words)

Debating separation - Robert Bourassa: Political Survivor - CBC Archives • With the referendum question, the PQ asked Quebecers for a mandate to begin negotiating Quebec's transition to sovereignty and an economic association with Canada. Bourassa changed his mind about sovereignty before they could present the proposal at a Liberal convention, and Lévesque quit the party to form the Parti Québécois.

Five days later, 32 County and the Association jointly sent a letter to the Secre- tary of State requesting that he "reopen the administrative record" pertaining to their designations so that they could receive the process ordered in National Council.

History of the Quebec sovereignty movement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Sovereignty-Association was proposed to the population of Quebec in the 1980 Quebec referendum. However, in the 1995 Quebec referendum, which was narrowly rejected, the notion of some form of economic association with the rest of Canada was still envisaged (continuing use of the Canadian dollar, for example, as opposed to the previously proposed Quebec piastre). As in the previous referendum, the English-speaking (anglophone) minority in Quebec overwhelmingly (about 90%) rejected sovereignty, and support for sovereignty was also weak among allophones in immigrant communities and first-generation descendants, while by contrast almost 60 per cent of francophones of all origins voted Yes (82 per cent of Quebecers are francophone). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/History_of_the_Quebec_independence_movement   (1866 words)

TNI Publications Four years ago, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) seemed well on the way to becoming a real economic bloc. Moreover, as analyst George Ross has pointed out, the Common Market "was a circumscribed and protected playing field for trade, involving the pooling of limited, carefully chosen areas of sovereignty, designed less to transcend national sovereignty than to help EU member states pursue national growth strategies". Thai Prime Minister Chuan Leek-Pai warned of the association's rapidly falling behind other regional economic blocs in global trade. www.tni.org /archives/bello/autopsy.htm   (1199 words)

Sovereignty of the People Sovereignty in government is that public authority which directs or orders what is to be done by each member associated in relation to the end of the association.

Jerusalem Federal states, international law, democratization have all contributed to the idea that sovereignty may be divisible, and to new forms of sovereignty - such as protectorate, condominium (Vanuatu), spiritual sovereignty (such as the Holy See), souverainete-association (Quebec), and functional sovereignty (a new notion - based on the law of the sea). While sovereignty is commonly viewed as the state level equivalent of ownership, Whitbeck suggests the common model of the joint undivided ownership of land or a house (as between husband and wife, or inheritance between distant cousins). Joint sovereignty is much too vague, easily misunderstood and "demands the kind of good will and cooperation that does not exist between Israelis and Palestinians". www.wfm.org /ACTION/jerusalem1001.html   (1835 words)

Metis Nation of the South Title 2 Sovereignty in government is that public authority which directs or orders what is to be done by each member associated in relation to the end of the association. The Metis Nation of the South supports and encourages the further development of alliances which are based upon, and in mutual support of, the common culture, heritage, and traditions of the various sovereign Metis and other Indigenous Nations and allied organizations within their mutual ancestral homeland. The objectives of such a plan would be the disintegration of the political and social institutions, of culture, language, national feelings, religion, and the economic existence of national groups, and the destruction of the personal security, liberty, health, dignity, and even the lives of the individuals belonging to such groups. www.geocities.com /metisnation/title2.html   (1835 words)

In its many pincered attack against national sovereignty, the U.N. has designated certain tracts of land around the world as World Heritage Sites.

Encyclopedia: Sovereignty association That is, an association with Canada is still wished for, but were it to fail, sovereignty would be economically viable because Quebec can (and currently does) freely export to the US market. The type of association between an independent Quebec and the rest of Canada was described as a monetary and customs union as well as joint political institutions to administer the relations between the two countries. Finally, in October 1967 former Liberal cabinet minister [[Ren vesque]] left that party when it refused to discuss sovereignty at a party convention. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/Sovereignty-association   (1835 words)
