Zusammenfassung:""There is no doubt that this book will become a standard text in courses on voting and elections." Joanna Everitt, co-author of Advocacy Groups in the Canadian Democratic Audit" ""This is an excellent textbook for senior undergraduate and graduate courses in voting and elections, a supplementary text for more general courses in Canadian politics, and an important addition to the scholarly literature in the field. I will be using it in a number of my classes." Keith Archer, co-author of Quasi-Democracy? Parties and Leadership Selection in Alberta" "The recent string of minority governments has reminded Canadians that voting behaviour has serious consequences-on the composition of government as well as on the direction of public policy. Understanding the underlying meaning of election results is a key issue for policy makers and for students and scholars of politics. But can voting behaviour be explained, given that each vote represents the influence of countless impressions, decisions, and attachments?" "Voting Behaviour in Canada reveals the challenges of understanding election results as leading young scholars of political behaviour piece together a comprehensive portrait of the modern Canadian voter. By systematically exploring long-standing attachments, short-term influences, and proximate factors (campaign issues and poll results), the contributors offer a multi-faceted analysis of voting behaviour that incorporates the insights of theories developed to illuminate the influence of certain factors. Theoretically grounded and methodologically advanced, Voting Behaviour in Canada sheds new light on the choices we make as citizens and provides important insights into recent national developments."--Jacket
