About the Book

Canadian Parties in Transition examines the transformation of party politics in Canada and the possible shape the party system might take in the near future. With chapters written by an outstanding team of political scientists, the book presents a multi-faceted image of party dynamics, electoral behaviour, political marketing, and representative democracy. The fourth edition has been thoroughly updated and includes fifteen new chapters and several new contributors. The new material covers topics such as the return to power of the Liberal Party, voting politics in Quebec, women in Canadian political parties, political campaigning, digital party politics, and municipal party politics.

Review :
Canadian Parties in Transition remains a classic. It brings together works by many of Canada's pre-eminent students of parties, elections, and representation, and addresses questions of fundamental importance to our understanding of electoral reform, social movements, party organization, and political communication in the twenty-first century. Students of Canadian politics will be well served by this collection of informative papers.--John Courtney, University of Saskatchewan For more than 25 years, Canadian Parties in Transition has been an indispensable tool for teaching and research about Canadian political parties. With this fourth edition, Gagnon and Tanguay continue, and signicantly extend, an outstanding scholarly tradition. Blending insights from established and up-and-coming scholars, this collection offers both comprehensive field coverage and innovative interpretations of emerging trends. All students of Canadian parties will welcome the conceptual clarity and up-to-date analysis presented in each of the chapters.--Neil Bradford, Huron University College Since the appearance of the first edition of Canadian Parties in Transition in 1987, the book has become essential reading for students of Canadian political parties. This thoroughly revised fourth edition continues the book's tradition of comprehensive, up-to-date coverage of the Canadian party system with its shifting sociological, ideological, and technological environments. With contributions from a blue-ribbon group of political scientists, the collection continues to break new ground in scholarship on Canadian parties. I'll be assigning it in my courses with enthusiasm.--Munroe Eagles, SUNY Buffalo
