Publisher's Synopsis
This important new guide to over 1,500 recent books and journal articles deals broadly with current affairs in Canada. The partially annotated bibliography is organized into 14 topical chapters-focusing on the major themes involved in the study of Canadian politics. These themes include such topics as the Canadian constitution and legal system, federalism, public policy, regional and local politics, English Canadian and French Canadian political culture, political parties and interest groups, executive and legislative institutions, the administrative process, foreign policy, defense politics, strategic studies, free trade, environmental issues, human rights, and international aid.
In each chapter, books and journal articles are listed separately and then presented alphabetically. Appendices give directories of Canadian Studies Associations, Canadian Studies Centers and programs outside Canada, Canadian Studies Centers in Canada, and important journals and periodicals. A detailed general index also makes this research tool easily accessible for students and researchers in Canadian studies, comparative politics, and North American history.
