Synopsis:

The award-winning Canadian Democratic Audit represents one of the most ambitious examinations of Canadian democracy in recent political scholarship. Authored by a team of Canada’s leading political scientists in response to perceived voter discontent, the Audit evaluates the performance of our central democratic institutions, including elections, parliament, the executive, federalism, political parties, and interest groups.

Auditing Canadian Democracy marks the culmination of this landmark project. Using the Audit’s uniquely Canadian benchmarks of participation, responsiveness, and inclusiveness, the contributors synthesize and update their findings from the original volumes. A concluding chapter presents a synopsis of the various reform proposals put forth in the series.

Lively and accessible, this volume offers a succinct and thoughtful examination of existing practices and reforms. As Canadians continue to vote in ever lower numbers, this book’s timely analysis should be of interest to all citizens concerned with the health of our democracy.

About the Author:

William Cross is the Hon. Dick and Ruth Bell Chair for the Study of Canadian Parliamentary Democracy at Carleton University in Ottawa.

Contributors: Darin Barney, André Blais, R. Kenneth Carty, John Courtney, William Cross, David Docherty, Joanna Everitt, Elisabeth Gidengil, Richard Nadeau, Neil Nevitt, Jennifer Smith, Graham White, and Lisa Young.
