ISSUE 43:
Inroads 43 turns its attention to Asia, with articles on the retreat of democracy in Southeast Asia, the key role of inadequate primary education in keeping South Asia poor, Japan’s divide over its pacifist constitution, and the evolution of Nepal’s Maoists from guerrilla army to parliamentary party. Other articles look at two of Canada’s most intense debates – over the Trans Mountain pipeline and Quebec’s partial ban on face coverings – as well as Quebec’s new antipoverty program, the role of political institutions in the rise of Donald Trump, the complex ways in which Brexit affects Ireland, and Canada’s poor showing in the international market for television content.
