Lucid and comprehensive, The Canadian Regime provides a unique analysis of Canada's political regime by challenging readers to think of the political system as an organic entity where change in one area inevitably ripples through the rest of the system. The book's focus on the inner logic of parliamentary government explains the rationale for Canada's relatively complex political system.

The new edition includes analysis of the 2011 federal election and the implications of a return to majority government rule. Discussions of the Constitution, Charter, Senate reform, and judicial appointments are all updated, and new material is provided on the prorogation controversy, voter turnout, equalization payments, and prime ministerial government. The Canadian Regime continues to provide the most accessible introduction to the institutions, processes, and principles of the Canadian political system.

About the Author:
Patrick Malcolmson is Professor of Political Science and former Vice-President (Academic) at St. Thomas University in Fredericton, New Brunswick.
Review:
Malcolmson and Myers continue to provide us with a no-muss no-fuss introduction to Canadian government that is organized, readable, and highly accessible. The Canadian Regime gives a clean and accurate account of Canada's basic political architecture but also shows readers where institutions and ideas are contested. This is the only text I recommend for my introductory classes in Canadian government. (Gerald Baier, University of British Columbia)

Invaluable for introducing the Canadian political system to students in the United States.... Malcolmson and Myers do a superb job of clarifying the complexities of responsible government and showing how these complexities unfold in the context of Canadian national politics. (Robert W. Behrman, Marshall University)

Malcolmson and Myers have written a comprehensive and coherent account of Canadian government that is informed by a clear understanding of the purposes, capacities, and limitations of liberal democratic institutions. (Jennifer Smith, Dalhousie University)
