This insightful Handbook offers a comprehensive exploration of the
third generation of gender and federalism studies. Contributors
explore the intersection of federalism and decolonization in global
south countries, dissecting transitions between authoritarian
regimes and democratic governance and mapping new issues in Western
federations, such as LGBTQ rights and separatism. Key chapters
examine critical policy issues in federations, drawing on a range
of disciplines to offer fresh insights into how federal practices,
institutions and discourses interact with gender and other
diversities including 'race', religion and sexual minorities. In
this timely and authoritative examination, feminist scholars in
both the West and the global south debate the impact of state
architectures on women's movements, partisan organizations and
policy advocacy using innovative discursive, institutional,
quantitative and intersectional approaches. This Handbook will be
of interest to researchers and students of gender and federalism
studies; feminist political scientists; traditional federalism
scholars; feminist researchers in gender-focused social science
fields; mainstream and feminist policy analysts and practitioners;
and comparative politics scholars. Contributors include: A. Alonso,
P.A. Avoine, B. Baines, C. Beer, S. Bohn, L.S. Chakraborty, C.N.

Ontario is the most populous of Canada's provinces, contains the
country's largest city, and continues to be the centre of finance,
IT, and media. It is also experiencing significant changes and
upheavals. The Politics of Ontario is the first comprehensive book
on Ontario's politics, government, and public policy since Graham
White's The Government and Politics of Ontario in 1997. Although
The Politics of Ontario follows in the same tradition, it departs
in several ways. While not losing sight of the enduring themes of
Ontario politics and political culture, it reflects the fact that
Ontario is no longer Canada's primary economic engine. Instead of
emphasizing the continuity and gradual evolution of Ontario
politics, it focuses on change, disruption, and the uncertainty of
the political and policy environment through explorations of fiscal
and economic policy, the environment, labour, multiculturalism, and
the complexities of urbanization, with particular attention given
to greater Toronto. The book is divided into four parts: Settings,
Institutions, Politics, and Policy. It contains 28 charts, tables,
and graphs, and features contributions by virtually all of the
leading scholars in the field, including an introductory chapter by
Graham White.
