Uncovering distinctive motifs and events in Canadian party politics from pre-Confederation to the present, Wiseman shows how parties have adjusted, adapted, and reinvented themselves in response to significant social and economic changes as well as how parties have, in turn, shaped or reinforced these social forces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book begins by tracing the rise of four different types of parties in the nineteenth century; by the end of the century, the Conservative and Liberal parties that continue to this day were firmly established. The book also explores nationalism, minority governments, third parties, and the reconfiguration of party positions. Wiseman concludes by examining changes in the way Canada's ever-evolving parties have operated and the rise of the modern party as a nimble, enterprising institution compared to its historical antecedent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eSubstantial yet accessible, \u003ci\u003ePartisan Odysseys\u003c\/i\u003e will enlighten students, scholars, and general readers alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nelson Wiseman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 148750778X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781487507787\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/23\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.00d","brand":"Nelson Wiseman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44073015574783,"sku":"9781487507787","price":83.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_29fbdebb-faae-4239-bcd0-dd0361d5fc54.jpg?v=1685445301","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/partisan-odysseys-nelson-wiseman-9781487507787","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
