The Canadian Regime

Now in its sixth edition, The Canadian Regime continues to provide the most accessible introduction to the institutions, processes, and principles of the Canadian political system. The book's focus on the inner logic of parliamentary government explains the rationale for Canada's relatively complex political system and encourages readers to think of government as a coherent set of institutions, where change in one area inevitably ripples through the rest of the system. The new edition includes the results of the 2015 federal election. All content has been thoroughly updated to bring previous discussions up to date and several new topics have been added, such as the impact of the Harper years on parliamentary government and the influence of social media in contemporary politics.
