The United States and Canada

"This volume offers a well-integrated and up-to-date set of insights on politics and policymaking in Canada and the United States, authored by binational teams of outstanding researchers. The authors take seriously the task of not only pointing out similarities and differences between the two countries, but also understanding the causal relationships that underlie those patterns, and differences that are durable and those that are subject to change. Their conclusions will help to inform and guide research in both countries in the era of Trump & Trudeau and beyond." -R. Kent Weaver, Senior Fellow, Brookings Institution, and Professor of Public Policy and Government, Georgetown University "This is an important volume. Each chapter brings together leading scholars on a topic. The topics themselves cover the landscape, from political culture and institutions, to policy making, health care, and the management of diversity. The result is an informative and comprehensive comparison of the two countries. This volume is a perfect starting point for those who want to understand Canada and the United States more deeply and an invaluable for those already engaged in the study of these two countries." - Peter Loewen, Professor, Department of Political Science, University of Toronto
