Provinces is now established as the most comprehensive yet accessible exploration of Canadian provincial politics and government. The authors of each chapter draw on their particular expertise to examine themes and issues pertaining to all the provinces from a comparative perspective.

The book is organized into four major sections – political landscapes, the state of democracy in the provinces, political structures and processes, and provincial public policy. The third edition features eleven new chapters, including: province building, provincial constitutions, provincial judicial systems, plurality voting in the provinces, voting patterns in the provinces, provincial public service, provincial party financing, provincial health policy, social policy, climate change, and labour market policy. All other chapters have been thoroughly revised and updated.

About the Author:

Christopher Dunn is Professor of Political Science at Memorial University of Newfoundland.

Review:

"Christopher Dunn's Provinces has long been an invaluable instructional tool for anyone teaching courses on various aspects of Canadian provincial politics. Bringing together an impressive cast of new and established scholars, the third edition improves appreciably on what was already a first-rate collection, with accessible and theoretically informed chapters exploring the patterns of democracy and public policy at the provincial level. Provinces will undoubtedly remain an essential teaching resource for years to come."

(Brian Tanguay, Wilfrid Laurier University)
