This situation has changed markedly in recent years. Since 2021 Alberta has held a provincial referendum proposing the abolition of equalization, Quebec and Saskatchewan have each unilaterally amended the 1867 Constitution Act, and a bilateral constitutional amendment concerning Saskatchewan has been proclaimed with the support of Parliament. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAmid the stagnation that has characterized constitutional amendment processes from the early 1990s onward, these developments are highly significant. They signal a renewed dynamism in Canadian constitutional politics driven by provincial action and warranting careful and systematic analysis. Bringing together contributions from leading experts, \u003ci\u003eFrom Multilateral Failures to Unilateral Successes?\u003c\/i\u003e maps the impacts of recent and ongoing constitutional developments. Chapters examine instances of unilateral provincial action, offer analytical perspectives on the broader implications of these developments for federal authority, and explore the conditions under which provincial unilateralism may succeed. As the book shows, these initiatives operate within a political and constitutional framework where bilateral and multilateral options remain available but under-exploited. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAt a moment when the Canadian Constitution is once again being tested and reshaped, this volume makes a timely and essential contribution, demonstrating that constitutional change is not only possible but already underway.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDave Guénette (Editor) \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Dave Guénette is professor in the Faculty of Law at the Université de Sherbrooke. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eCatherine Mathieu (Editor) \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Catherine Mathieu is professor in the Department of Legal Studies at the Université du Québec à Montréal. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eFélix Mathieu (Editor) \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Félix Mathieu is professor in the Department of Law at the Université du Québec en Outaouais. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 258\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 8.9 x 5.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 04, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48821739585785,"sku":"9780228028673","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/Dc0mtnnK6S9780228028673.webp?v=1786786655","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/from-multilateral-failures-to-unilateral-successes-new-trends-in-formal-constitutional-amendments-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
