Regional dynamics and federalism lie at the heart of Canadian
politics. In Open Federalism Revisited, James Farney, Julie M.
Simmons, and a diverse group of contributors examine the legacy of
Prime Minister Stephen Harper in areas of public policy, political
institutions, and cultural and economic development. This volume
examines how these areas significantly affected the balance between
shared rule and self-rule in Canada's federation and how broader
changes in the balance between the country's regions affected
institutional arrangements. Open Federalism Revisited engages with
four questions: 1) Did the Harper government succeed in changing
Canadian federalism in the way his initial promise of open
federalism suggests he wanted to? 2) How big was the difference
between the change Harper's government envisioned and what it
actually achieved? 3) Was the Harper government's approach
substantially different from that of previous governments? and 4)
Given that Harper's legacy is one of mostly incremental change, why
was his ability to change the system so relatively minor? With
attention to such topics as political culture, the role of
political parties in regional integration, immigration policy,
environmental policy, and health care, Open Federalism Revisited
evaluates exactly how much changed under a prime minister who came
into office with a clear desire to steer Canada back towards an
older vision of federalism.
