Description
By examining the history of the Canadian West from 1870 to the present, this lecture-seminar course will explore the establishment and reproduction of a system of political economy which has created regional disparities in Canada. Consideration will be given to the process of capitalist development and the role of government policy in promoting and redressing disparities. Also, attention will be directed to the emergence of regionalism as an ideology. Where appropriate, comparisons will be drawn between the experiences of western Canada and those of other regions of the country, as well as with the American West.
