This book provides the first synthetic review of the literature on
cultural roads and itineraries, providing a template for developing
typologies and clarity on existing research. It additionally
develops a unique conceptual framework for understanding the
social, political, ethical, and spatial dynamics behind cultural
roads and itineraries. The book takes the discussion on cultural
roads in two different directions. Firstly, by taking a step back
from tourism studies, leisure studies, and heritage studies in
order to further the conversation on cultural roads with a broader
set of disciplines, namely those in the humanities and social
sciences. Secondly, through a series of broader theoretical
reflections and considerations, the book draws its focus back to
the development of the cultural road and cultural itineraries with
a new conceptual apparatus that can inspire new questions for
research and new ideas for practice. Throughout the text, concepts,
theories, principles, and practices are explored and explained
through detailed case study analyses.

Much of the coverage surrounding the relationship between
Indigenous communities and the Crown in Canada has focused on the
federal, provincial, and territorial governments. Yet it is at the
local level where some of the most important and significant
partnerships are being made between Indigenous and non-Indigenous
peoples. In A Quiet Evolution, Christopher Alcantara and Jen Nelles
look closely at hundreds of agreements from across Canada and at
four case studies drawn from Ontario, Quebec, and Yukon Territory
to explore relationships between Indigenous and local governments.
By analyzing the various ways in which they work together, the
authors provide an original, transferable framework for studying
any type of intergovernmental partnership at the local level.
Timely and accessible, A Quiet Evolution is a call to politicians,
policymakers and citizens alike to encourage Indigenous and local
governments to work towards mutually beneficial partnerships.
The Canadian federal system was never designed to recognize
Indigenous governance, and it has resisted change. But Indigenous
communities have successfully negotiated the creation of
self-governing regions. Most of these are situated within existing
units of the Canadian federation, creating forms of nested
federalism. This governance model is transforming Canada as it
reformulates the relationship between Indigenous peoples and the
state. Nested Federalism and Inuit Governance in the Canadian
Arctic traces the journey toward self-governance in three northern
regions: Nunavik, the Inuvialuit Settlement Region, and
Nunatsiavut. This meticulous analysis provides new insight into the
evolution and consequences of Indigenous self-government.
Do negative campaigns win elections? Do voters abandon candidates
accused of scandalous behaviour? Do government apologies affect
prospects for re-election? While many people assume the answer to
each of these questions is yes, there is limited empirical evidence
to support these assumptions. In this book, Jason Roy and
Christopher Alcantara use a series of experiments to test these and
other commonly held beliefs. Each chapter draws upon contemporary
events and literature to frame the issues and strategies. The
findings suggest that not all of the assumptions that people have
about the best strategies for winning and keeping political power
hold up to empirical scrutiny. In fact, some work in ways that many
readers may find surprising. Original and innovative in its use of
experimental methods, Winning and Keeping Power in Canadian
Politics is a persuasive analysis of some of our most prominent and
long-standing political myths. It will be a "go to" resource for
journalists, strategists, scholars, and general readers alike.
