Reviews

Neoliberal Parliamentarism cuts across numerous domains of political science. There are many casual discussions about the decline of parliamentary government, but seldom is this documented in the meticulous detail that this study undertakes. There are even fewer accounts linking the curtailment of democratic deliberation with the formation of the neoliberal policy regime and the spread of authoritarian practices.. Tom McDowell has made an indispensable contribution to the study of the current practices and limits of parliamentary democracy and to Ontario and Canadian politics. - Greg Albo, Associate Professor of Political Science, York University A political economy analysis of parliamentary procedure? Unconventional, to be sure, but in Neoliberal Parliamentarism it proves insightful. Anchored in a sophisticated theoretical understanding of the nature and goals of neoliberalism, McDowell's comprehensive account of changes to legislative practices and rules at the Ontario Legislature in recent decades convincingly demonstrates that the decline of parliament is both real and deeply concerning. - Graham White, Professor Emeritus of Political Science, University of Toronto
