À sa façon, la réalité autochtone pose des questions universelles. Le type de questions que partagent les membres de toutes les sociétés. Quelle que soit ses dimensions en effet, chaque collectivité est confrontée aux impératifs de sa propre existence et de sa relation avec les autres sociétés. Ce livre pose un regard sur l’économie des collectivités autochtones du Québec, notamment sous l’angle du processus de maturité économique. En plus d'être la toute première étude réalisée sur la réalité de l’économie autochtone, cet ouvrage offre, au-delà de la description d’une réalité méconnue jusqu’ici, l’analyse originale et organisée de données tirées d’études spécifiques menées par l’équipe de Marc-Urbain Proulx. Les sociétés autochtones sont complexes et restent encore méconnues, sous de très nombreuses dimensions. Au plan des données économiques, c’est une lacune que vient combler l’ouvrage. Plus encore, il offre au public informé (notamment aux décideurs, autochtones et non autochtones) comme au grand public une méthode susceptible de fournir des outils pour analyser et mieux comprendre cette réalité économique.

After steadily declining for over a decade, global hunger is on the rise again, while various forms of malnutrition coexist. Climate change is already exacerbating this grim picture, which is why food security and food production will be a major focus of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s 6th Assessment Cycle. Thanks to the participation of 250 experts from all around the world, the International Symposium on Food Security and Nutrition in the Age of Climate Change highlighted the importance of food and agricultural systems in the fight against climate change and presented concrete multi-sector solutions to address this global issue. The event placed special emphasis on the regional realities of West Africa and the Canadian North, as well as to the presence of young people and members of Indigenous and Northern communities directly affected by these issues. The summaries of these four days of plenaries, interactive workshops, and special events have been grouped under seven major themes for this publication: 1) Climate change, food security and nutrition: the issues; (2) The agriculture sectors in the context of climate change; (3) Food systems in the face of climate change; (4) Natural resources: challenges and solutions; (5) Food security and nutrition in a changing North; (6) Summary of solutions; (7) Strengthening and adapting regional and international cooperation.

The Economics of Immigration is written as a both a reference for researchers and as a textbook on the economics of immigration. It is aimed at two audiences: (1) researchers who are interested in learning more about how economists approach the study of human migration flows; and (2) graduate students taking a course on migration or a labor economics course where immigration is one of the subfields studied. The book covers the economic theory of immigration, which explains why people move across borders and details the consequences of such movements for the source and destination economies. The book also describes immigration policy, providing both a history of immigration policy in a variety of countries and using the economic theory of immigration to explain the determinants and consequences of the policies. The timing of this book coincides with the emergence of immigration as a major political and economic issue in the USA, Japan Europe and many developing countries.
