Synopsis

Canada as a Political Entity explains what Canada is in the eyes of international law and empire. This concise study examines how Canada fits into the British Empire, what sovereignty means inside the Commonwealth, and how domestic and foreign affairs are shaped by a unique constitutional balance. It clarifies common misperceptions about Canada’s status and outlines how the Crown, Parliament, and Dominion governments interact in practice.

This edition frames Canada’s position from several perspectives, showing how colonial labels evolved into a distinct political reality. It traces the idea of an imperial relationship, the development of self-government, and the practical realities of foreign policy, treaties, and international obligations. Readers will gain a clearer sense of what makes Canada a political entity within a connected world.

• Clear definitions of key terms like colony, dominion, sovereignty, and state as they apply to Canada.


• How Canada’s constitutional relations with the United Kingdom evolved, especially during and after major conflicts.


• An overview of how internal governance and foreign policy work together in Canada’s unique position.


• Discussion of how Canada is treated in international law and in bodies like the League of Nations.

Ideal for readers of political science, history, or anyone seeking a focused, grounded view of Canada’s status in the world.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The statements that the Dominions have passed from the colonial status and are now free self-go Terrdng and sovereign states under a common sovereign, on an equality with the Mother Country, and, practically speaking we are a colony to-day, dependent on the Empire, and we cannot be anything else so long as the) Empire exists, illustrate the extremes of opinion with regard to Canada spolitical status. When such a conflict of opinion exists among members of the Canadian House of Commons it is not surprising that amo-ng the inhabitants of Canada generally, there is a lack of knowledge concerning Canada sprecise political status. Nor is it astounding that in other countries there is a lack of appreciation of that status. This state of affairs is largely due to the fact that the constitutional relations between Canada and the United Kingdom were not stated in detail when the Dominion of Canada was formed, but they were allowed to develop tlirough the years. The development of these constitutional relations was accellerated by the Great War to such an extent that it became difficult to designate Canada sexact status. This study is an attempt to indicate the political status which Canada enjoys at present. Of what has been written on this subject, much was with the avowed object of further Mr. Eowell, Unrevised Hansard, Vol. LVI, No. 5, p. 125.
