Canadian Politics: Democracy and Dissent provides a fresh approach to the study of Canadian politics. The authors use the parallel concepts of democracy and dissent to frame an in-depth and critical examination of Canadian political issues. With chapters such as Legislatures and Cabinets, Cities and Municipalities, Aboriginal Politics, and Women and Politics, written by contributors from universities across Canada, the text covers a broad range of important topics and themes from the basic institutions of Canadian government to the practical concerns of Canadian democracy in action.
