Reviews

Kelly and Manfredi have assembled an all star team of scholars in the field. The result is a volume with thoughtful perspectives on governance and institutions, policy making and the courts, and citizenship and identity. This should be required reading for both specialists in the field and those with an interest in constitutional and Canadian politics. - Patrick James, University of Southern California
