“…Indeed, the resentment of some provinces over what was perceived as the grant of undue special privileges to Quebec has been as much to blame for the breakdown of territorial management proposals as any intransigence by Quebec. It was the refusal of some provinces to ratify the proposals for change that in 1990 caused the collapse of the Meech Lake Accords, while a negative result in a popular referendum ended the resurrection of the constitutional proposals in the Charlottetown Accord (see Meadwell, 1993).…”

“…However, by the 1960s the Quiet Revolution effectively 'decolonised' Québec, which meant dismantling the de facto CDL that had for decades been upheld by provincial governments and the Catholic Church (Fraser 2001; see also Tetley 1982). The internal colony approach has been met with criticism on a variety of levels and alternative explanations have been offered (see McRoberts 1979;Meadwell 1983;Olzak 1982; see also Bélanger and Pinard 1991;Darroch 1979;Lieberson 1970;Meadwell 1993;Olzak and Nagel 1986). Although these critiques are compelling, I suggest that the utility of the internal colony model lies not necessarily in its ability to explain the emergence of regional variation in Francophone ethnic nationalism (which is not the subject of this article), but rather for the insights it provides on the link between ethnic nationalism and politically motivated out-migration.…”

Migration and ethnic nationalism: Anglophone exit and the ‘decolonisation’ of Québec

This article explains the effects of ethnic nationalism on Anglophone and Francophone migration. The rise of Québec ethnic nationalism in the 1960s dismantled the cultural division of labour, which created new opportunities for Francophones but threatened Anglophones' traditional dominance over the Québec economy. This had negative consequences for Anglophones but positive outcomes for Francophones, which in turn accounts for differences in migration patterns. Drawing from the internal colony model as well as migration and exit‐voice theories, and using ecological census data, micro‐census data and election panel data, I find that the key variables that increase the likelihood of Anglophone out‐migration either do not explain Francophone out‐migration or have opposite effects. This is because ethnonationalist policies decreased the economic return particularly for well‐educated, higher‐earning, professional Anglophones in Québec, while increasing the economic position of Francophones and in particular well‐educated professionals.

Abstract. One of the most challenging developments for students of international relations is the resurgence of ethnic strife, including secessionism and irredentism. Basic questions are only beginning to be addressed in the post‐Cold War era. Why are some states more likely than others to intervene in ethnic conflicts? How can international norms about third‐party intervention in ethnic conflicts be evaded or ignored by some states but respected by others? Why are some states inclined to use force rather than mediation to resolve ethnic strife? In short, what accounts for the emergence of adventurous and belligerent foreign policies with respect to internal ethnic conflicts? These questions are of increasing importance to students of international politics, yet the dynamics and internationalisation of ethnic conflict are far from fully understood. This study focuses on the dynamics of third‐party intervention in ethnic strife and implications for peaceful resolution. The first section presents a model that identifies the general conditions under which ethnic strife is most likely to lead to intervention by third‐party states. The second uses four cases to illustrate, within the context of the model, different processes with respect to internationalisation of ethnic conflict. The third and final stage identifies implications for policy and theory, along with directions for future research.
