The author examines very carefully the latest achievements of the Quebec government in the field of documentary information and evaluates the propositions included in the white paper La politique québécoise du développement culturel and the green paper Pour une politique québécoise de la recherche scientifique. She demonstrates the necessity for documentation specialists to become more and more agressive and convincing following the mitigated success of several of their interventions.

AbstractDoes Christian discourse have a political dimension ? Does it necessarily play a role in the sphere of politics ? If so, which role ? How should the reference to the all-mighty power of God be understood in this context ? These are a few of the questions raised by this article, albeit indirectly and partially, as it seeks to reconstruct the key elements of a debate between the theologian Erik Peterson and the jurist Carl Schmitt.

In the course of the 1980's studies on domestic sources of Canadian foreign policy have generated analytical propositions which, to this day, have not been submitted to empirical investigation. This paper presents the results of a case study on the domestic sources of Canadian foreign policy towards Central America for the period 1979-1987. The theoretical propositions underlying this study are taken from previous studies made by C. Pratt, J. Rochlin and S. Baranyi. By comparing the demands made by interest groups with the behavior, as observed, of the federal government, the authors show a relatively weak adequation between demands made by counter-consensus groups and governmental action towards Central America. The study also demonstrates a relatively minor interest on the part of the business groups in Canadian foreign policy towards Central America.

AbstractThis article analyzes Québec mental health policy from a feminist point of view. The critique focuses on the decyphering of three tacit premises that the author describes as wanting. On the base of these premises, the author argues that the policy avoids differences in sex and in gender role and their impact on mental health/disorders, that it belongs to a " naturalist " trend that wants to benefit families through the social integration of psychiatrized patients, and that it offers a scuttled partnership with women's groups. The author concludes by pointing out the policy's limits and dangers for women and women's groups, and by raising the issue of the relationship feminist services maintain with the State.

Museums have taken their current shape in the mid-18th Century. Ever since, the State has developed relationships with this institution that evolved over time. Museum policies transformations reveal the ruptures as well as the political use and rationality of museums. This paper aims to shed light on the evolution of the political rationality of the State intervention in the museum sector, in Quebec. The relationship between the Quebec government and museums has evolved around three main political periods. First, museums have emerged as a useful tool (1836-1919) to assist the government in its territorial aspirations. In a second period (1919-1984), the relationship evolved on a cultural basis, and museums were increasingly seen as tools driven by cultural heritage aspirations and by concerns of heritage accessibility. Museums are public services. In the national museum policy, museums are seen as an important catalyst of Quebec's cultural aspirations. Finally, the most recent iteration of this relationship opens to a new rationality where the State focuses less on cultural preoccupations and approaches museums from a sectoral lens. Museum policies (1984-2013) are comprehended as a means to stabilize and regulate a sector, where the State's cultural aspirations appear to be less salient.
