Debating how Canada compares - both regionally and in relation to
other countries - is a national pastime. This book examines how
political scientists use comparison as a tool to better understand
Canadian political life. Using a variety of methods, the
contributors explore topics as diverse as Indigenous rights, voting
behaviour, and climate policy. While their theoretical perspectives
and the kinds of questions they explore vary greatly, as a whole
they demonstrate how the "art of comparing" is an important
strategy for understanding Canadian identity politics, political
mobilization, political institutions, and public policy.
Over the past decade, the introspective, insular, and largely
atheoretical style that informed Canadian political science for
most of the postwar period has given way to a deeper engagement
with, and integration into, the global field of comparative
politics. This volume is the first sustained attempt to describe,
analyze, and assess the "comparative turn" in Canadian political
science. Canada's engagement with comparative politics is examined
with a focus on three central questions: In what ways, and how
successfully, have Canadian scholars contributed to the study of
comparative politics? How does study of the Canadian case advance
the comparative discipline? Finally, can Canadian practice and
policy be reproduced in other countries?
