May 6-10: Economic issues in Quebec, 1980-present

Those of you who missed class last week need to get the last two printed slides to complete the section on Indigenous rights. This completes the Political issues since 1980.

We have some major topics to tackle. Absences in May will be lethal; studying and classwork needs to be taken seriously. At this point, I've given it my all; if you want to succeed, you'll have to step up.

Mon.-Fri.: Economic Issues
(1) Redefining the role of the state:
-neoliberal policies, funding social programs, social economy and civil society, state neutrality
(2) Globalization of the economy:
Quebec Inc., free trade agreements, export sectors
(3) Devitalization of communities:
-single-industry towns, local services, migrations, next generation of farmers, loss of political weight

-handouts: green booklet (textbook, p. 302-314) & back-to-back FIB notes
