Zusammenfassung:"In the second edition of Contested Federalism, Douglas Brown, Herman Bakvis, and Gerald Baier have restructured and thoroughly updated this foundational textbook on Canadian federalism. It analyses the interactions between the components of Canada's governance system--federal, provincial-territorial, local, Indigenous--and the tensions, conflicts, and adaptations they have created. In so doing, Contested Federalism explores both the basic federal and intergovernmental structure, and what might be termed federal governance. By featuring the most current material on the subject, this text examines contemporary issues that are relevant to today's student, including Indigenous relations, Quebec's role in the federation, globalization, and the environment. Accessible, engaging, and comprehensive, this book familiarizes readers with the basic assumptions about how federal systems work and are best understood.
