About this title

Book Description:

A comprehensive exploration of how the Conservative Party’s victory in the 2011 election represents a new political era, and a new party system, in Canada.

From the Inside Flap:

On 2 May 2011, as Canadians watched the federal election results
roll in and Stephen Harper's Conservatives achieve a majority, it
appeared that we were witnessing a major shift in the political
landscape. In reality, Canadian politics had been changing for quite
some time. This volume provides the first account of the political
upheavals of the past two decades and speculates on the future of the
country's national party system. By documenting how parties and
voters responded to new challenges between 1993 and 2011, this
book sheds new light on one of the most tumultuous periods in
Canadian political history.
