Acknowledgments

This

book

is

derived

from

my

doctoral

dissertation

at

the

University

of

Cambridge,

which

was

brought

to

fruition

thanks

to

the

watchful

guidance

and

encouragement

of

my

two

supervisors,

Professors

James

Crawford

and

Philip

Allott.

I

am

very

grateful

to

both

of

them.

The

ideas

and

arguments

in

this

book

were

inspired,

forged,

tested,

and

honed

through

discussions

and

conversations

with

numerous

col



leagues

all

over

the

world

who

continue

to

humble

me

with

their

gen



erosity

and

brilliance.

I

am

especially

indebted

to

Fannie

Lafontaine,

Matt

Eisenbrandt,

and

Stephen

Pitel

for

their

comments

and

revisions

of

parts

of

this

book,

and

to

my

dear

colleagues

at

the

University

of

Ottawa,

Faculty

of

Law.

I

could

not

have

completed

this

project

without

the

unwavering

encouragement

and

support

of

my

wonderful

friends

and

family.

This

long

list

includes

my

parents

Gilles

and

Suzanne;

my

siblings

and

their

spouses

Yves,

Monica,

Brigitte,

Robert,

Jean,

Ruth,

Dominique,

Steve,

Serge,

and

Melissa;

my

extended

family

Claude,

Bernadette,

Germaine,

and

Ferdinand;

and

my

dear

friends

Mark,

Sarah,

Fannie,

Nathalie,

Penny,

Lauren,

Erika,

David,

Catherine,

Jason,

Ciara,

Tyler,

Brad,

Ste



phane,

Danny,

and

Benoit.

Finally,

I

wish

to

thank

Anne,

my

partner

in

life,

work,

and

play.

Words

simply

cannot

wield

the

extent

of

my

gratitude

for

her

love.
