Studying the normative benchmarks of players involved in an episode of social crisis, such as the Overdale-Préfontaine squat in Montreal in 2001, can help us understand the meaning of an event that, because it was illegal, may have appeared somewhat opaque at the time it occurred. Through an analysis of these benchmarks, the internal logic of the strategies used by the groups of players involved in the squat can be identified, both within the group to which the players belong and with regard to the relationships between groups. In this paper, we present a summary of the results of our analysis of the positions taken by the squatters and by the community, institutional and media players involved.

The number of white-collar workers is rapidly increasing. If the trade union movement is to continue to play an effective role in the industrial relations system, it must recruit these workers. But so far, outside of the public sector of the economy, there is relatively little white-collar unionism in Canada. The major reason for this is that Canadian public policy on industrial relations is not very effective in curbing management opposition to white-collar unionism. The paper suggests several ways in which public policy might be made not only more effective in this regard but also deals with the problems arising from the growth of white-collar unionism.

AbstractDo the approaches used in the study of public administration follow the changing course of events? This study identifies five major approaches used by Quebec authors: pluralist political science, law, management, economics and political sociology. Recent history shows that the popularity of an approach does reflect current events, but the relationship is not all one-way. No approach has so far succeeded in reaching a satisfactory synthesis of the others.
