Reviews

Jatinder Mann, University of Alberta:
This is a noteworthy edited collection which illustrates the benefits of comparative studies in political science in Canada. It will appeal more to specialist readers than general readers as some of the chapters are quite theoretical, but it is nevertheless highly recommended.

Melissa Haussman, author of Reproductive Rights and the State: Getting Birth Control, RU-486, Morning-After Pills and the Gardasil Vaccine to the US Market:
Comparing Canada contains much fresh research and analysis by top-drawer scholars. It will be attractive to those in many different disciplines who use the comparative method, as well as to practitioners and civil servants.

Neil Bradford, author of Commissioning Ideas: Canadian National Policy Innovation in Comparative Perspective:
Through the range of its topics, theories, and methodologies, Comparing Canada will appeal to a wide scholarly readership, and will also be a useful teaching tool. Authored by leading authorities in the various subfields of Canadian political science, it is engagingly written, presenting complex matters in an accessible style that situates readers in the key debates.
