Canadian Parties in Review

Carty is giving a review about the Canadian party system in the past as well as he tries to give a glimpse into the future of Canadian parties. He describes and analyses the collapse of the three old party systems and tries to answer the question how long the fourth party system will be stable. This is a book, which is even for those people interesting who never had done anything in political science. Easy to read and easy to understand.
