Comparing Canada : Methods and Perspectives on Canadian Politics Hardback
Edited by Luc Turgeon, Martin Papillon, Jennifer Wallner, Stephen White
Hardback
Description
Debating how Canada compares, both regionally and in relation to other countries, is a national pastime.
This book examines how political scientists apply diverse comparative strategies to better understand Canadian political life. Using a variety of methods, the contributors use comparison to examine topics as diverse as Indigenous rights, Canadian voting behaviour, activist movements, climate policy, and immigrant retention.
While the theoretical perspectives and kinds of questions asked vary greatly, as a whole they demonstrate how the “art of comparing†is an important strategy for understanding Canadian identity politics, political mobilization, political institutions, and public policy. Ultimately, this book establishes how adopting a more systematic comparative outlook is essential – not only to revitalize the study of Canadian politics but also to achieve a more nuanced understanding of Canada as a whole.
