Les influences transnationales sur la nationalisation de l’électricité au Québec (1934-1963)

Giguère, William 08 1900 (has links)
Ce mémoire de maîtrise analyse les influences transnationales qui ont mené à la nationalisation de l’électricité au Québec. En contraste avec les précédentes études sur Hydro-Québec voulant que les incitatifs locaux fussent la source exclusive de la nationalisation de l’électricité au Québec, cette recherche vient démontrer que les idées transnationales ont été tout aussi influentes. Tout au long du récit, on voit que la conjoncture politico-économique de refonte du libéralisme économique classique vers une version plus keynésienne de l’économie occidentale a été un stimulant de première importance pour la nationalisation de l’électricité au Québec. Dans le premier chapitre sont détaillées les nationalisations d’électricité de l’Ontario, de la Vallée du Tennessee et de la France, ainsi que les relations qu’elles ont eues entre elles et avec le Québec. Dans un second temps, il est démontré que l’étatisation de l’électricité en Ontario au début du XXe siècle et celle de la Vallée du Tennessee durant la crise économique des années 1930 ont été des incitatifs majeurs pour le projet menant à la nationalisation de la Montreal Light Heat & Power en 1944. Enfin, dans le troisième chapitre, ce sont les influences venant des nationalisations d’électricité étasunienne, ontarienne et française sur la nationalisation de l’ensemble des compagnies d’électricité québécoises de 1963 qui sont analysées. / This thesis explores the transnational forces that led to the nationalization of electricity in Quebec. In opposition to the traditional narrative that sees the nationalization in Quebec as a product of the local incentives, we look at the transnational ideas that were as important for the realization of the project. Throughout the text, we see that the Keynesian context that led western states to be more interventionist in the economy was a major influence on the nationalization of electricity in Quebec. In the first chapter, we detail the nationalization of electricity in Ontario, in the Tennessee Valley and in France, and the links between them and with Quebec. Secondly, we show that the nationalization of electricity in Ontario in 1906 and in the Tennessee Valley in 1933 were key for the nationalization of the Montreal Light Heat & Power in 1944. Finally, the third chapter explores how the nationalisation of electricity in Ontario, United States and France were influential on the nationalization of all the electric companies in Quebec in 1963.

An Approach to the Analysis of Spatial Administrative Patterns: Ontario Hydro-Electric Power Commission

Massam, Bryan H. 10 1900 (has links)
<p>Traditional and cont emporary studies of spatial administrative systems are reviewed. Economic, political and historical factors are related to patterns of administrative areas. The hypothesized relationships are tested using data for the Ontario Hydro-Electric Power Commission. Linear and quadratic models relating functional costs to workload of the administrative areas are offered. The quadratic models incorporate the concept of the long-run average cost curve. A theoretical relationship between the shape of an administrative area and the level of economic efficiency is tested. Linear programming is used to simulate administrative patterns. Four indices are used to describe and compare the patterns. One of the indices, the weighted mean, is used to operationalise Pred's Behavioural Matrix . Recommendations are made for future work. </p> / Thesis / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
