| Abstract: | There is a trend toward softer, more tolerant styles of policing a protest within various Western democracies. This study presents a case study of an exception. The repression of protest at an international event in which one Western democracy hosted rulers of less democratic regimes in a ritual celebration of economic globalization. This study explores reasons why the Canadian police and government were willing to use blatantly undemocratic tactics polurarly believed to be more characteristic of other regimes. |
