Canada:The State Of The Federation 2002 Reconsidering The Institutions Of Canadian Federalism

Beginning with an examination of the role of "traditional" institutions such as Parliament, Cabinet, the Supreme Court, and political parties, Canada: State of the Federation 2002 affirms the long-held belief that these bodies do not provide effective forums for interregional bargaining, creating a void that has been filled at least in part by executive federalism. Contributors conclude that the performance of traditional institutions, taken as a whole, has deteriorated over the last several decades, placing more pressure on the processes of executive federalism.Meekison, J.Peter is the author of 'Canada:The State Of The Federation 2002 Reconsidering The Institutions Of Canadian Federalism', published 2004 under ISBN 9781553390084 and ISBN 1553390083.
