- Summary:
- "Big Worlds examines Canada's ten provinces and three territories as distinct, democratic "worlds." A separate chapter is devoted to each province (and one explores the three territories), creating a cross-country survey of politics and elections. Tracing the history of each provincial and territorial system, with special attention to the twenty-first century, and drawing on the "worlds" theme, each chapter addresses the "terrain" (political culture, political economy, and political institutions) and the "climate" (the party system, civic culture, and democratic deficits) of Canada's provinces and territories. Big Worlds is a comprehensive sectional study of provincial and territorial politics and elections and is the ideal text for Canadian provincial politics courses."-- Provided by publisher.
