Synopsis
" The new, fourth, edition of Canadian Politics continues the work of earlier editions in offering a comprehensive introduction to Canadian government and politics by a widely recognized and highly respected group of political scientists, writing on subjects on which they are acknowledged experts. For this edition, the editors have reorganized the book into four sections: Part I:Citizenship, Identities, and Values; Part II: The Canadian State; Part III: Civil Society, Democracy, and Governance; and, Part IV:Globalizing Trends and International Pressures. The fourth section, comprised of five chapters, develops a new focus for this edition by examining the diverse and increasingly important influences of globalization on the Canadian polity and system of governance. Of the twenty-three chapters, those retained from earlier editions have been entirely revised and updated. This edition adds twelve new authors and eleven completely new chapters.

SYNOPSIS: Canadian Politics is a comprehensive new introductory textbook. All aspects of the field are covered in 27 chapters, each of which has been commissioned especially for this volume. The book is an introduction to the study of Canadian politics as well as to its content. The organization of the book reflects the broad range of subfields and approaches that make up the discipline today; included are section on "Political Economy" and "Social Movements and Ethnic Relations" as well as sections covering more traditional areas such as ideologies and institutions. Canadian Politics offers full coverage of recent constitutional debates and Charter decisions; of the impact of regionalism on Canadian politics; of the development of political ideas in Canada; and of the new politics of gender, race, and the environment. The contributors are specialists in the various sub-disciplines, and represent all regions of the country. Voices from a wide range of points on the political spectrum are included, and a wide variety of methodological approaches is employed. The book thus offers a fully rounded perspective on Canadian politics entering the 1990s. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Seller Inventory # 001231
