Big Worlds e-bog

Based on extensive data collection, Big Worlds examines Canada's ten provinces and three territories as distinct democratic "e;worlds."e;A separate chapter is devoted to each province (and one explores the three territories), creating a cross-country survey of politics and elections. Tracing the history of each provincial and territorial system, with special attention to the twenty-first century, and drawing on the "e;worlds"e; theme, the chapters address the "e;terrain"e; (political culture, political economy, and political institutions) and the "e;climate"e; (the party system, civic culture, and democratic deficits) of Canada's provinces and territories. The result is a comprehensive sectional study of provincial and territorial politics and elections, and is the ideal text for Canadian provincial politics courses.
