C¿est au XX siècle que les guerres ont le plus endeuillé l¿humanité. Qüelles soient de destruction massive, de décolonisation ou génocidaires, elles ont touché de plein fouet les populations civiles, remodelant des sociétés entières. Lorsqüelles se disaient interventions chirurgicales, humanitaires ou anti-terroristes, elles n¿en suscitaient pas moins nombre de questionnements sur leur légitimité. Le Canada et l¿Europe, notamment la Belgique, ont souvent été acteurs et/ou victimes des conflits de ce siècle. Tant les sociétés civiles que les dirigeants politiques tentèrent d¿en tirer les enseignements pour construire une paix durable, promouvoir le désarmement et créer des institutions internationales aptes à prévenir les conflits. La mémoire des guerres et la construction de la paix s¿avèrent, en effet, intrinsèquement liées dans les expériences de nos peuples, l¿histoire des mentalités et les options politiques de nos gouvernements. Pour explorer ce thème, l¿approche comparative et l¿interdisciplinarité sont apparues méthodologiquement fructueuses au Centre d¿études canadiennes et au Pôle Bernheim d¿études sur la paix et la citoyenneté de l¿Université libre de Bruxelles, qui ont coordonné ce projet rassemblant des experts européens, canadiens et américains.
The book investigates a number of connected issues related to Canada and its environment, in order to examine the ongoing processes of preservation and distruction of the green landscapes of an immense country, through an interdisciplinary approach, encompassing different theoritical and methodological tools.
The book sheds light on how national and international law and politics impact on Arctic governance structures, patterns of communication and interaction, indigenous rights, and perceptions and experiences of the North in literature and the arts.
