Contributions in economy

Rodrigue Tremblay is one of these rare and general-purpose economists whose achievements cover several fields, as well in fundamental economy as in the field of the economic policies. It particularly left its mark in three manners.

Firstly, there are Tremblay general practitioner and communicator representing the economic thinking for a broad audience. Its many handbooks of economy and macroeconomics innovated in the years '70, and supported the study of the economic scenes in several French-speaking countries. They were written in an open language, rigorous and with precision.

In second place, one finds his contributions in the fields of the international economy, the economic development and that of economic major cycle. In 1968, it emphasized the central role which the short movements of capital play in the adjustment of the balance of payments (rev. Can. Of econ. - 1968). It also innovated with its work on economic major cycle by binding the political shocks and the economic shocks like causes of cyclic economic instability. (Rev. off North American Economics and Finance-1988). Tremblay then attacked with the question of free trade and the role of the increasing outputs or the scale, i.e. the idea that the unit costs of a company decrease as the extent of the markets and the scale of production increases, with its work relating to " growth by the exportation" (Rev. off North American Economics and Finance-1991).

Thirdly, work of professor Tremblay on the international exchanges and economic integration had echoes in the debates of economic policy, particularly out of matters of marketing policy and monetary policy. In first half of the Seventies, indeed, Tremblay advised the West African monetary Union (UMOA) in its monetary orientation, following the revision of the Staff Regulations of this monetary area (see its work “Africa and Monetary Intégration”, 1970). In 1988, Tremblay assumed the presidency of the Committee of the Canadian economists favorable to free trade, initially between Canada and the United States, and then between Canada, the United States and Mexico within the framework of the Agreement of free trade Nord-Américain (ALENA).

Contributions to the policy

In October 1970 in Quebec, Rodrigue Tremblay published a politico-economic proclamation, Indépendance and Common Market Quebec - the United States (Editions of the Day), which announced future developments. It then foresaw the creation of a North-American Common Market, in conjunction with a push of Quebec towards a political statute of sovereignty. Ten years later, on May 20th, 1980 in Quebec, the government of Quebec organized a first referendum on the accession of Quebec to political sovereignty. And, nineteen years later, on January 1st, 1989 in Quebec, came into effect the Accord of free trade canado-American (ALE), which was replaced by ALÉNA between the the United States, the Canada and the Mexico in 1994. In 1979, after having resigned as a Trade and Minister of Industry in the government of Quebec, it published the 3rd option (France-America Editions) in which Rodrigue Tremblay proposed a refitting of the Canadian federalism, together with a greater autonomy for the only province mainly French-speaking in Canada, the Quebec. Rodrigue Tremblay took up this idea in a first work of political memories by publishing, in 1981, Quebec in crisis (the Select Editions).

the Canadian federal government, under the direction of the Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, introduced, in 1987, a programme of reform of the Canadian federalism, indicated under the term of Accord of the lake Meech. This reform project constitutional aimed at granting more autonomy to Quebec in exchange of this one which it ratifies the Constitution of 1982 whose adoption had been done against the wishes expressed unanimously by the National Assembly of Quebec.

the failure of the Agreement of the Lake Meech, on June 23rd, 1990, gave place thereafter to two constitutional referendums, that is to say the Canadian referendum on the Accord of Charlottetown, on October 26th, 1992, and the Référendum of 1995 in Quebec, held on October 30th, 1995 in Quebec. The two consultations showed a majority negative vote, that is to say 54,3% in the first case and 50,6% in the second case. It do June 30th, 1993 in Quebec, Rodrigue Tremblay publishes in the newspaper the Duty a article-shock entitled “the Inhabitants of Quebec train people? ” which leads it to conclude: “It would be perhaps time that the French-speaking Inhabitants of Quebec decide once and for all if they train normal people and decide to act as such, or if they are only one cultural and linguistic minority in increasingly anglophone Canada. ”

Of 1999 with 2004, Rodrigue Tremblay published four works of Québécois, Canadian and international policy. In 1999, they were the great policy issues and economic of Quebec (Transcontinental Editions), which took up the ideas expressed by the author in the Newspaper the Businesses. In 2002, Rodrigue Tremblay published a book of reflection general policy, the Hour Right, the shock between the policy, the economic one and morals (the international Editions Alain Stanké).

In 2003, Rodrigue Tremblay touches with the international policy. Beginning 2003, it decides publicly against the military intervention in Iraq of the US government of George W. Bush. It summarizes its position in a book which it publishes at the Editions the Untouchable ones, Why Bush wants the war, Religion, policy and oil in the international conflicts , more than one month before the American military invasion of Iraq

In 2004, an American version of the book left to the United States (The New American Empire), while a European version was also published at Harmattan, also in 2004 (New American Empire). A translation in Turkish language, under the title of Yeni Amerikan † mparatorlu› U , was published in Turkey, 2007.
