Reviews
"In my view, this book is long overdue. Applied Political Theory and Canadian Politics seeks to bridge the gap between empirical and theoretical approaches to politics and, moreover, to demonstrate the relevance and usefulness of applying concepts and frameworks from the realm of political theory to issues and subjects that arise in the study of contemporary Canadian politics."
--Stephen Brooks, Department of Political Science, University of Windsor"This is a very good collection of essays, with each chapter engaging with contemporary political theory and current issues in Canadian politics."
