The International Politics Of Quebec Secession
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This book is as much about the changing structure of world politics as it is about the likely breakup of Canada. Indeed, prospects for state making and state breaking in Europe, North America, Africa, and Asia will likely become one of the "hottest" growth areas in the study of world politics in the next several decades. Contrast such a perspective with the disquietude that the prospects of Canadian state breaking raise at the end of the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-first. For students of world politics, the emergence of a sovereign, independent Quebec may very well have a surrealistic quality about it because Canada has been so much a part of our understanding of what a stable, affluent, advanced industrial society, with long-standing democratic traditions, is all about. That Canada is also a multi ethnic society with a defined ethnonational homeland seems irrelevant. The importance of the national state and expected satisfaction with one of the world's best standards of living appears to make Canada a secure and dependable country. The prospect of state breaking is unthinkable.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
