"Parties, Elections, and the Future of Canadian Politics"
provides the first comprehensive account of political change in Canada
over the past two decades, particularly during the 1993, 2004, and 2011
federal elections. Contributors explore the changing landscape from
both historical and contemporary perspectives and speculate on the
future of the national party system. They discuss how parties have
evolved in response to new challenges, how elections are fought on
different terms than those of the past, and how these developments and
challenges have changed the way voters view political parties and
elections. By doing so, they make a crucial contribution to our
understanding of Canadian politics in the wake of a one of the most
tumultuous periods in the country's history.Amanda Bittner is an associate professor in the
Department of Political Science at Memorial University.
Royce Koop is an assistant professor in the
Department of Political Studies at the University of Manitoba
