Zusammenfassung:	"As corporations are restructured, governments cut back spending, and the international economy is transformed, there is an increasing need to understand the economic and political forces involved, evaluate their implications, and develop strategies to modify them to meet society's interests. In light of the current situation, the study of political economy is more relevant than ever." "Understanding Canada examines a variety of topics from viewpoints ranging from the established to the interdisciplinary. Contributors look at issues such as gender, Native peoples, race, ethnicity and migration, globalization, foreign policy, the welfare state, regulation, communications, popular culture, and space and the environment, as well as the more traditional subjects of economic growth, resources and manufacturing, labour, regionalism, Quebec, and the character of the Canadian state." "The new Canadian political economy has emerged from its infancy and is now regarded as a respected and innovative field of scholarship. Understanding Canada furthers this tradition by focusing on current issues in an accessible and informative way."--BOOK JACKET.
