商品簡介
Wesley (political studies, U. of Manitoba, Canada) attempts to unravel the unusual politics of the Canadian prairie provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. While all have common roots, their politics are vastly different. Alberta is conservative, Saskatchewan is the cradle of social democracy, and Manitoba is progressive. The author explains this unusual arrangement through an exploration of the rhetoric, campaigns, and political codes used by the political parties that dominate each province. He examines the region's cultural differences and cultural persistence as well as the specific campaigns of each province. The book will interest readers who want to know more about Canada's politics and history and would be useful for policymakers and others in related fields. Distributed by UTP Distribution.
