Description
Book SynopsisProvinces is now established as the most comprehensive yet accessible exploration of Canadian provincial politics and government.
Trade Review"Christopher Dunn's Provinces has long been an invaluable instructional tool for anyone teaching courses on various aspects of Canadian provincial politics. Bringing together an impressive cast of new and established scholars, the third edition improves appreciably on what was already a first-rate collection, with accessible and theoretically informed chapters exploring the patterns of democracy and public policy at the provincial level. Provinces will undoubtedly remain an essential teaching resource for years to come." -- Brian Tanguay, Wilfrid Laurier University
