Description
Book SynopsisWith modern media and technology, the local campaign has made a comeback. Inside the Local Campaign pulls back the curtain on the inner workings of constituency-level campaigning during a Canadian federal election.
Trade ReviewWhile the broad range of experiences reported here make for a significant contribution... the book’s additional value is the trove of insights into the complex and mutually interdependent relationships between candidates, staff, volunteers, and national parties. -- Jeff Costen * Literary Review of Canada *
