Now in its seventh edition, The Canadian Regime continues to provide the most accessible
introduction to Canadian politics, making Canada’s unique government and systems clear to
students. This edition is updated with the results of the 2019 federal election. The authors explain
how the Canadian liberal democratic regime was founded on the fundamental principles of liberty,
equality, and consent and discuss the ways in which Canada’s institutions have developed and
operate in accordance with these principles. The authors also examine how the regime has at
times failed to follow these principles, particularly with respect to Canada’s Indigenous peoples,
and how reforms to Canada’s governing institutions challenge historical assumptions concerning
parliamentary government and federalism.

Canadian Public Finance provides students with a clear and comprehensive description of how

in the budget process – agenda-setting, formulation, adoption, implementation, and evaluation –
the book examines how decision-makers participate in and influence this process. Using recent
events as examples, Tellier explains the rules and norms of public finance, the role of institutions,
and political, social, and economic constraints. Keywords, additional readings, and links are
included at the end of each chapter and text boxes throughout reflect on new developments in
public finance such as gender budgeting, performance-based budgeting, and fiscal transparency.

business environment. Hale provides an overview of the historical dimensions of Canada’s political
economy and relations between government and business. Students are invited to consider topics
such as corporate power, the implications of Canada’s economic structure, regional economic
differences, the cross-cutting effects of globalization, and the role of interest groups in political
and policy processes. In a thoughtful style, Hale lays out how the partnership between business
and government in Canada is an uneasy one – and one whose capacity to adapt to ongoing
change is essential in an uncertain world.

The Institutions of Human Rights is a contributed volume designed for

human rights courses that take a global perspective. Unlike many texts
in this area, which tend to be structured by history, theory, institutions,
and specific human rights issues, this book focuses explicitly on
particular human rights institutions, including the UN Human Rights Council, the International
Labour Organization, the International Criminal Court, and the European Court of Human Rights.
The chapters describe what these institutions are and how they work, arguing that a thorough
understanding of human rights institutions is key to understanding contemporary human rights
as a political practice.

“This is the ‘go-to’ book for any courses dealing with environmental
politics in Canada. Olive provides the necessary ecological, historical, and
structural policy context in the opening chapters required for a more
comprehensive understanding of contemporary political developments
(which are covered expansively in the latter part of the book). The second

coverage of the political minefield of carbon pricing in the Canadian
federation. If there is a book to use in a class covering Canadian
environmental politics, this is it.”
— Ryan Katz-Rosene, President,
Environmental Studies Association of Canada

The Canadian Environment in Political Context uses a non-technical approach to introduce environ-
mental politics to undergraduate readers. First published in 2015, this revised edition features
expanded chapters on wildlife, water, pollution, land, and energy.
Beginning with a brief synopsis of environmental quality across Canada, the text moves on to
examine political institutions and policymaking, the history of environmentalism in Canada, and
other crucial issues including Indigenous peoples and the environment, as well as Canada’s North.
Enhanced with case studies at the end of each chapter, key words, and a comprehensive glossary,
this text addresses the major environmental concerns and challenges that Canada faces in the
twenty-first century.

Douglas Macdonald (University of Toronto)

US & CDN $39.95 / eBook $39.95

Why has Canada been unable to achieve any of its climate change
targets? Part of the reason is that emissions in two provinces – Alberta
and Saskatchewan – have been steadily increasing as a result of expanding oil and gas production.
Declining emissions in other provinces, such as Ontario and Quebec, have been cancelled out by
those western increases. This book answers the vital question of how governments can effectively
work together to achieve a Canadian climate change target.

Costly Fix examines the post-1995 Alberta tar sands boom, detailing
how the state inflated the profitability of the tar sands and turned a

Nations, the character and strength of environmental critiques, and
the difficulties that environmental groups have had in establishing a
countermovement to market fundamentalism.

In Lost on Division, Jean-François Godbout analyses more than two

In Partisan Odysseys, Nelson Wiseman sets out to survey the history of Canada’s political parties.
Uncovering distinctive motifs and events in Canadian party politics from pre-Confederation to the
present, Wiseman shows how parties have adjusted, adapted, and reinvented themselves in
response to significant social and economic changes as well as how parties have, in turn, shaped
or reinforced these social forces. Among the topics covered throughout are nationalism, minority
governments, third parties, and the reconfiguration of party positions. Wiseman also examines
changes in the way Canada’s ever-evolving parties have operated and the rise of the modern party
as a nimble, enterprising institution compared to its historical antecedent.

Do negative campaigns win elections? Do voters abandon candidates accused of scandalous

behaviour? Do government apologies affect prospects for re-election? While many people assume
the answer to each of these questions is yes, there is limited empirical evidence to support these
assumptions. In Winning and Keeping Power in Canadian Politics, Jason Roy and Christopher
Alcantara use a series of experiments to test these and other commonly held beliefs. Each chapter
draws upon contemporary events and literature to frame the issues and strategies. The findings
suggest that not all of the assumptions that people have about the best strategies for winning and
keeping political power hold up to empirical scrutiny. In fact, some work in ways that many readers
may find surprising.

Digital Politics in Canada addresses a significant gap both in the scholarly literature on media
in Canada and in Canadian political science. Using a comprehensive, multidisciplinary, historical,
and focused analysis of Canadian digital politics, this book covers the full scope of actors in the
Canadian political system, including traditional political institutions of the government, elected
officials, political parties, and the mass media. At a time when issues of inclusion are central to
political debate, this book features timely chapters on the rapid digitization of Indigenous people,
women, and young people, and takes an in-depth look at key issues of online surveillance and
internet voting. Ideal for a wide-ranging course on the impact of digital technology on the
Canadian political system, this book encourages students to engage critically.

US & CDN $34.95 / eBook $27.95

The End of the CBC? is about three overlapping crises: the crisis
that has enveloped the CBC, the crisis of news, and the crisis of
democracy. Describing the failure of successive governments to
address problems faced by the public broadcaster, this book explains
how the CBC lost its place in sports, drama, and entertainment. The authors propose a way

current affairs and re-establishes a reputation for depth and quality.

Ms. Prime Minister provides important insight into the news

frameworks that work to deny or confer political legitimacy. By
closely analyzing the media coverage of several female politicians,
Linda Trimble concludes that reporting both reinforces and contests
unfair gender norms. Trimble concludes the book with advice
designed to inform the gender strategies of women who aspire to political leadership roles and
the reporting techniques of the journalists who cover them.
