Reviews
"Bakvis and Skogstad’s book has been an anchor in the literature for years. This fourth edition is a significant revision and an indispensable read for everyone interested in Canadian federalism."
Jennifer Wallner, University of Ottawa:
“This fourth edition is a welcome and timely update to this ongoing examination of the way federalism works in Canada. Students across the country will benefit from the insights contained within these pages.”
Dave Snow, University of Guelph:
“The fourth edition of Canadian Federalism is an excellent survey of the history, structures, and processes of Canadian federalism. Collectively, the chapters cover all of the major policy fields that federalism has shaped, and perform the valuable task of bringing together disparate aspects of the federal system under one framework. Canadian Federalism is well-written, well-organized, and hugely valuable for teaching purposes.”
