Reviews

Open Federalism Revisited is a welcome and significant contribution to the study of Canadian politics. It offers the most comprehensive study yet of the Harper Conservative government, in terms of both the breadth of topics covered and their in-depth treatment. Its elaboration of endogenous mechanisms of change in Canada's federal system is also an important theoretical contribution and ensures the book's longevity, well beyond any legacy of the Harper government itself. - Grace Skogstad, Professor of Political Science, University of Toronto This collection is a definitive assessment of the legacy of Prime Minister Stephen Harper's 'open federalism' written by a number of the most notable scholars of federalism in Canada today. - Gerard Boychuk, Professor of Political Science, University of Waterloo
