This is a noteworthy edited collection which illustrates the benefits of comparative studies in political science in Canada. It will appeal more to specialist readers than general readers as some of the chapters are quite theoretical, but it is nevertheless highly recommended. ~Jatinder Mann, University of Alberta, British Journal of Canadian Studies, Vol. 29 No. 2, Fall 2016
