Prime Ministerial Power in Canada: Its Origins under Macdonald, Laurier, and Borden (The C.D. Howe Series in Canadian Political History) - Softcover
Many Canadians lament that prime ministerial power has become too concentrated since the 1970s. This book contradicts this view by demonstrating how prime ministerial power was centralized from the very beginning of Confederation and that the first three important prime ministers – Macdonald, Laurier, and Borden – channelled that centralizing impulse to adapt to the circumstances they faced. Using a variety of innovative approaches, Patrice Dutil focuses on the managerial philosophies of each of the prime ministers. He shows that by securing a firm grip on the instruments of governance these early first ministers inevitably shaped the administrations they headed, as well as those that followed.

Review:
"Prime Ministerial Power in Canada is a highly original – indeed path-breaking – exhaustively researched, and convincingly argued analysis with much to say to both historians and political scientists. Patrice Dutil's fine work will be a 'must-read' for anyone – scholar, journalist, citizen – who wants to understand the nature of prime ministerial power in Canada, past and present."―Graham White, professor emeritus of political science, University of Toronto
