Description: |
This volume is the first sustained attempt to describe, analyze, and assess the "comparative turn" in Canadian political science. |
Synopsis: |
Over the past decade, the study of Canadian politics has changedprofoundly. The introspective, insular, and largely atheoretical stylethat informed Canadian political science for most of the postwar periodhas given way to a deeper engagement with, and integration into, theglobal field of comparative politics.This volume is the first sustained attempt to describe, analyze, andassess the "comparative turn" in Canadian politicalscience. Canada's engagement with comparative politics isexamined with a focus on three central questions: In what ways, and howsuccessfully, have Canadian scholars contributed to the study ofcomparative politics? How does study of the Canadian case advance thecomparative discipline? Finally, can Canadian practice and policy bereproduced in other countries? |
