Canadian Politics: An Introduction

Canadian Politics: An Introduction is a comprehensive and integrated introductory-level text for students with little prior knowledge or experience of Canadian politics. In plain language, it describes the main features of Canadian politics today and provides a framework for understanding the political forces at work in Canadian society. This text is both descriptive and conceptual. Recurring throughout are interest boxes that highlight key political concepts, political issues, and Canadian politicians. The ‘key concepts’ and ‘key issues’ draw attention to important political concepts and issues that need to be understood by anyone seeking to know more about Canadian political life. This conceptual material is especially useful when it comes time to write essays, study and review. Canadian Politics: An Introduction is intended as a lively and stimulation introduction to Canadian politics. Above all, it is designed to encourage young Canadians to take a greater interest in Canadian politics and perhaps even get involved.
