Review Quotes:
This book represents a rare achievement in the field: specialist authors illuminate their individual provinces and territories within an overall integrating theme. There are no weak links.
This rich and well-researched collection is an essential for students of provincial politics and Canadian political economy. It provides grist for comparative provincial studies by linking provincial states and their diverse societies at a time when globalization has weakened the nation-state and paradoxically enhanced the relevance of regional and sub-national governments. From various angles, this volume casts light on Canadian politics from the bottom up rather than from the top down federal centre.
