Stéphane Maurice Dion,〔http://www.macleans.ca/canada/features/article.jsp?content=20080207_130053_4976〕 PC, MP (born 28 September 1955) is a Canadian politician currently serving as Minister of Foreign Affairs in the present Cabinet, headed by Justin Trudeau.〔 The Member of Parliament of Canada for the riding of Saint-Laurent—Cartierville in Montreal since 1996 he was the leader of the Liberal Party of Canada and the Leader of the Opposition in the House of Commons of Canada from 2006 to 2008. Dion is a former academic who served as a cabinet minister under Jean Chrétien and Paul Martin. == Life before politics == Dion was born in Quebec City, the second of five children. His mother, Denyse (née Kormann), was a real-estate agent born in Paris, France, and his father, Léon Dion, was a Quebec academic. Dion was raised in a modest home on Liegeois Boulevard in the Sillery, Quebec, today part of Quebec City. While growing up, he remembers being taunted for his family's secularism in a society which was then predominantly Catholic. He studied political science at Université Laval in the department co-founded by his father; this was also where he met his future wife, Janine Krieber, a fellow-student in the same program. He obtained BA and MA degrees in 1977 and 1979 respectively (his master's thesis presented an analysis of the evolution of Parti Québécois electoral strategies), after which he and Janine departed together for France. Dion was involved with the sovereignty movement, first as a teenager attending a Jesuit college in Quebec City, and later as a university student campaigning for Parti Québécois candidate Louise Beaudoin in the 1976 election.〔 〕 Mr. Dion described his experience as follows: Dion has said that his involvement as "an activist for the separatist cause" ended during a five-hour discussion with a federalist household while he was going door-to-door for the PQ, but he did not openly commit to federalism until much later. At the time of the 1980 referendum, his sentiments were neutral. In his own words, the 'no' victory left him "neither moved nor outraged. To tell the truth, I felt no particular feeling." (''Moi, je ne me sentais ni ému ni révolté. À vrai dire, je n'éprouvais aucun sentiment particulier.'')〔 (en français seulement)〕 Dion spent four years in Paris, living with Janine in the Montmartre district and studying public administration under the tutelage of noted sociologist Michel Crozier. Professor Denis St. Martin, a former colleague at the Université de Montréal, later remarked: "... his vision of Canada was very influenced by his views on the politics and society of France – very Cartesian, very much about clarity....". After receiving a doctorate (''doctorat d'état'') in sociology from the ''Institut d'Études Politiques de Paris'' (commonly known as ''Sciences Po''), Dion worked briefly as a teaching assistant at the Université de Moncton in 1984 before moving on to the Université de Montréal to assume an assistant professor position.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Stéphane Dion: political scientist )〕 Dion taught at the Université de Montréal from 1984 to January 1996, specializing in the study of public administration and organizational analysis and theory, and was a guest scholar at the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C. during a 1990–91 sabbatical leave. After the failure of the Meech Lake Accord in 1990, Dion directed his intellectual inquiry towards an analysis of Quebec nationalism. His decisive conversion to federalism, as he later recounted to journalist Michel Vastel, occurred as he was preparing for a presentation in Washington: In this period, the sovereignty movement had begun to promote the idea that federalism was inefficient for Quebec due to the duplication and overlap between the two levels of government. An expert in public administration, Dion emerged as a key figure in publicly criticizing this line of argument. His appearances on ''Le Point'', a Télévision de Radio-Canada current affairs program, brought him to the attention of Aline Chrétien, who in the days following the close referendum defeat urged her husband, Prime Minister Jean Chrétien, to recruit him.〔 Between 1987 and 1995, Dion published a number of books and articles on political science, public administration and management. A collection of Dion's speeches and writings on Canadian unity was published under the title ''Straight Talk'' (''Le pari de la franchise'') in 1999. Dion was also a guest scholar at the ''Laboratoire d'économie publique de Paris'' from 1994 to 1995, a co-editor of the Canadian Journal of Political Science from 1990 to 1993, and a research fellow at the Canadian Centre for Management Development (now part of the Canada School of Public Service) from 1990 to 1991.〔 In April 1986, Stéphane Dion married Janine Krieber, and later the same year, they travelled to Peru to adopt their only child, Jeanne.〔 Janine Krieber, an "expert in strategic studies and counter-terrorism issues,"〔 now teaches political science and sociology at Royal Military College Saint-Jean in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stéphane Dion」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
