Canadian Democracy

In this revised and updated second edition, Canadian Democracy views the current problems and possibilities of Canada's body politic in the context both of Canadian history and of the experience of other representative democracies. It examines the societal context of politics, structures of governance such as constitution, parliament, executive federalism and the courts, political participation, and media influence. The author considers, as well, important current issues in Canadian political life, including the impact of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, language politics and Quebec, and gender and politics.
