Document Summary
Media and political identity: canada and quebec globalization. February 17th 2017: he idea that a nation is a "multi-purpose communication network," in the words of louis. Balthazar (1996) is generally accepted by both quebec and pan-canadian nationalists. The basis for this communication network is left open. It may involve shared values and culture or ethnicity and language, as in the more traditional notions of nationality, or it may rest on common economic interests, or simply inertia. The central core of this view is karl deutsch"s formulation that nationalities are marked off from one another by the flow of communications. In addition, the challenge to the duality of french and english by first nations and more recent immigrant groups has made elite accommodation considerably more difficult: these developments undermined elite accommodation without producing a more populist alternative. As yet, this kind of apathy has not been reflected significantly in voter turnout, but perhaps it is manifested in.
