    Anthropological Perspectives

    Why America Has Barack Obama, and Canada Has Stephen Harper

    de John Ibbitson ...
    Last November America elected its first black president. Canada, too, went to the polls that month.

As Ibbitson remarks, "What were Canadians being offered ... Leer más

The topic of his latest book is, therefore, surprising: the building of new nation-states. The end of history was never an automatic procedure, Fukuyama argues, and the well-governed polity was always its necessary precondition. "Weak or failed states are the source of many of ...
