The fifth edition of Canadian Parties in Transition continues and enriches the work of earlier editions in bringing together a highly respected group of scholars to offer a comprehensive account of the development of party politics in Canada.

The book addresses the origin and the evolution of the Canadian party system and discusses the impact of regionalism, brokerage politics, and political marketing in the party system. It focuses on the competing ideological currents that occupy the political stage while also paying attention to the role of third parties in federal politics. Contributors address the representation and democracy through an exploration of voting systems, direct democracy, the role occupied by constituencies, gender politics, and the distinct Quebec dynamics in the federal party system. Finally, the book analyses topical issues, such as electoral participation, social movements, right-wing populist parties, political campaigning, and digital party politics.

This new edition has been thoroughly revised and updated to reflect ongoing transformations and includes nineteen new contributing authors and coverage of seven new topics. Canadian Parties in Transition presents a multi-faceted image of party dynamics, electoral behaviour, political marketing, and representative democracy.

Reviews for Canadian Parties in Transition, Fifth Edition

""Canadian Parties in Transition provides a comprehensive set of chapters that cover a range of subjects, from parties and the party system to the way parties campaign and represent important groups in society. This strong update nicely addresses the issues and changes in trends that have occurred since the publication of the last edition. There isn't another textbook that leverages as many authors to cover such a wide range of topics on Canadian parties and elections.""--Daniel Westlake, University of Saskatchewan ""Canadian Parties in Transition remains a classic. It brings together works by many of Canada's pre-eminent students of parties, elections, and representation, and addresses questions of fundamental importance to our understanding of electoral reform, social movements, party organization, and political communication in the twenty-first century. Students of Canadian politics will be well served by this collection of informative papers.""--John Courtney, University of Saskatchewan ""For more than thirty years, Canadian Parties in Transition has been an indispensable tool for teaching and research about Canadian political parties. Blending insights from established and up-and-coming scholars, this collection offers both comprehensive field coverage and innovative interpretations of emerging trends. All students of Canadian parties will welcome the conceptual clarity and up-to-date analysis presented in each of the chapters.""--Neil Bradford, Huron University College
