Canadian Federalism: Performance, Effectiveness and LegitimacyHerman Bakvis, Grace Skogstad Oxford University Press, 2002 - 336 pages Canadian Federalism: Performance, Effectiveness, and Legitimacy is a collection of seventeen original essays casting a critical eye on the institutions, processes, and policy outcomes of Canadian federalism. Divided into three parts--The Institutions and Processes of Canadian Federalism; TheSocial and Economic Union; and Deliberating Reform and Legitimacy--the book documents how Canadian intergovernmental relations have evolved in response to such issues as fiscal deficits; the chronic questioning of the legitimacy of the Canadian state by a significant minority of Quebec voters andmany Aboriginal groups, among others; health care; environmental policies; and international trade. Herman Bakvis and Grace Skogstad have gathered together some of the most prominent Canadian political scientists to evaluate the capacity of the federal system to meet these and other challenges, andto offer prescriptions on the institutional changes that are likely to be required. |
