Political Ideologies in Canada is a multi-authored introduction to the history, evolution, and current reality of Canadian political ideology and is especially relevant to those familiar with Parties, Leaders and Ideologies in Canada (McGraw-Hill, 1996) or Politica Parties, Leaders and Ideologies in Canada (1974, 1983, 1990) by Colin Campbell and William Christian. Thoroughly updated and expanded, Political Ideologies in Canada reconceptualizes and modernizes the foundational knowledge of these earlier texts for anew generation.
Divided into two sections: section one demonstrates the relevance of ideology in multiple contexts and introduces students to core traditional ideologies including forms of liberalism, conservatism, socialism, and social democracy. Section two explores ideological currents such as feminism, nationalism, populism, fascism, and environmentalism, as well as Indigenous perspectives on political ideologies. Focused on the Canadian context, this volume includes multiple perspectives layered with Canadian history, thinkers, ideas, politics, and ideologies.
Political Ideologies in Canada features a robust and explanatory introduction, a glossary, and supplementary essay questions for instructors and is ideal for introductory political science courses.
"Political Ideologies in Canada is a comprehensive yet accessible overview of Canadian political thought. The book presents both the history and state of the art of ideology in Canada, covering important and timely topics like populism, environmentalism, and Indigenous worldviews."—Dr. Noah S. Schwartz, Assistant Professor, Department of Political Science, University of the Fraser Valley
"What does ideology mean in Canada today? This question grounds the authors' study of the evolution of uniquely Canadian perspectives of the ideologies discussed. Clearly written and accessible, Political Ideologies in Canada explores the origins of ideologies, clarifying shifts in understanding and application in Canada's pre- and post-Confederation eras. By considering ideologies that, while not new, are frequently overlooked, the authors offer an indispensable guide to helping us comprehend the future development of politics in Canada. An excellent book for undergraduate students."—Yale Belanger, Professor, Political Science, University of Lethbridge, Royal Society of Canada, College of New Scholars, Artists, and Scientists (2017–2024)
"Colin Campbell and Colin J. Campbell challenge the traditional left-right dichotomy, illuminating the dynamic interplay of divergent ideological forces in the Canadian political context. Leveraging the Hartz-Horowitz thesis, the authors demonstrate how migration patterns have shaped a unique constellation of conservative, liberal, and socialist influences, that is distinct from the US. Dedicated chapters explore the burgeoning influence of feminist, ecological, and Indigenous ideological perspectives. This timely and meticulously researched volume invites scholars and students to re-evaluate their understanding of Canadian political thought, offering a comprehensive and nuanced framework for future research and study."—Jonathan Havercroft, Professor of International Political Theory, Politics and International Relations, University of Southampton
