Canadian Politics

by James Bickerton (Editor), Alain G. Gagnon (Editor)

" 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.

[Maria Freeman · Rating 3 out of 5]

I did not read all of this book but read a good third of it for class. It was informative and gave me a better idea of how Canada functions and some of the issues it is facing.
