{"product_id":"big-worlds-jared-j-wesley-9781487566791","title":"Big Worlds: Politics and Elections in the Canadian Provinces and Territories, Second Edition","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBig Worlds\u003c\/em\u003e explores the political landscapes of Canada's provinces and territories. This second edition examines how and why Canadians govern themselves at the subnational level. While the story of national politics often dominates headlines, \u003cem\u003eBig Worlds\u003c\/em\u003e reminds us that each province and territory contains its own political universe shaped by distinct histories, cultures, and identities.\u003cbr\u003eThis book is organized around three key themes in each region: political culture, party system, and recent elections. Readers will discover why some Western Canadians have embraced populist movements, why Quebecers continue to debate the future of their nation within Canada, how democracy in Atlantic Canada has evolved, why Ontario appears to be in the midst of another Progressive Conservative dynasty, and how northern territories are reshaping ideas of self-government. Political scientists Jared J. Wesley and J.P. Lewis have updated the second edition of \u003cem\u003eBig Worlds\u003c\/em\u003e with the latest data from the Consortium on Electoral Democracy (C-Dem), including responses to COVID-19, the rise of new political movements, and landmark elections. This book also features thematic chapters on regionalism and leadership to highlight the broader patterns that connect (and divide) the country.\u003cbr\u003eAn essential look into the distinctive yet uniting factors governing policies, democracy, and people across Canadian landscapes, this book is a vital contribution to our understanding of the country's politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jared J.
