History of Canada. A General View

这个研究项目的目的是概述加拿大的历史。这个新的综合将是项目工作的重点;然而，总的主题将被主题上更狭窄的详细研究（论文）所包围。我的项目不旨在更传统的政治史，但将超越这一点。民族的政治史当然有其优先地位，但我的意图是一个反映的历史，适应加拿大的特点和历史。正如我的主要问题的解释所表明的那样，加拿大的历史必须遵循其他特殊性，而不是爱尔兰或南非的历史。这部加拿大历史的目标仍然是“成长者”，加拿大主义者和历史学家，他们可能对起伏不定的加拿大历史本身不太感兴趣，但对该项目的理论反思，严格地说，这将超越加拿大的历史。主要的问题是由多种观点连接;部分不同的方面重叠（1）自然与文明的对比;加拿大的发现史;加拿大丰富的自然资源及其利用;对经济和社会的影响;与地理和气候条件的永久性解释。(2)加拿大作为一个跨国国家的历史：人口的连续殖民化;殖民和定居的历史;（3）加拿大作为一个跨文化的历史：土著人之间关系的变化（印第安人，所谓的梅蒂斯人作为因纽特人）一边和“探险家”（4）民族政治独立性的相继形成;（5）法国的法语文化与英国的英语文化的对立，双语与语言问题，魁北克的例外：民族问题;（6）中央与省之间的关系;试图强化特殊利益和联邦政府的不稳定的省份比例;（7）加拿大社会的历史及其由对抗、种族归属和占有所形成的;（8）加拿大作为移民国家的特殊性所产生的问题;（9）与欧洲，特别是与英国的关系，或者说是与欧洲的依赖关系;（10）与其南部邻国美国的复杂（经济、政治、文化）关系;（11）加拿大在全球社会中的地位，加拿大外交政策和外交的特殊性。

Aim of this project of research is a general outline of the history of Canada.. This new Synthesis shall be in the focus of the project work; nevertheless the general theme will be flanked by thematically more narrow detailed studies (essays).My project does not aim to a more conventional political history, but will go beyond this. A political history of nationalities has of course its priority, but my intention is a reflected history that accommodates the peculiarities Canada's and its history. As the explication of my leading questions shows, the history of Canada has to follow other particularities than the histories of Ireland or South Africa.Targets of this history of Canada still to have been written are 'Bildungsbürger', canadists and also historians that might be less interested in the fluctuating Canadian history itself but in the theoretical reflections of the project, that will be go beyond the Canadian history strictly speaking.The leading questions are connected by manifold perspectives; partly the different aspects overlap (in the following as points):(1) the contrast between nature and civilisation; the history of discovery Canada's; the superabundant natural ressources; its use and the utilization; the consequences for economy ands society; the permanent explanation with the geographic and climatic conditions.(2) the history Canada's as a transnational history: the successive colonialization of the population; the history of colonization and settlement;(3) the history Canada's as transcultural history: the changing relationship of aboriginals (Indians, so-called Métis as Inuit) on one side and the "explorers" (colonisatoren) and the immigrants on the other side;(4) the successive formation of national political independence;(5) the antagonism between french respective french-speaking culture on the one hand and english respective english-speaking cultur on the other; bilingualism and the problems of languages; Quebec as an exceptional case: the questian of nationality;(6) the relationship between centres and provinces; the precarious proportion of provinces trying to enforce particular interests and the federal government;(7) the history of Canadian society and its shaping by antagonism and ethical affiliations and appropriations;(8) problems resulting from the specificity Canada's as a country of Immigration; the ethic multiculturalism;(9) the relationship or rather the dependence from Europe, especially from Great Britain;(10) the complex (economic, political, cultural) relationship to its southern neighbour, the USA;(11) the position Canada's in the global Society, the specific of Canadian foreign policy and diplomacy.
