Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Political parties are central to democratic politics, but where does the power lie within them, and how is it exercised? The Political Party in Canada explores the inner workings of these complex organizations through an examination of the composition and roles of key party actors, as well as the interactions between them. The authors reveal the activities and power-sharing relationships that characterize Canadian parties. It focuses not only on which groups are included in decision-making but on what authority rests with each level of the parties’ respective structures. This comprehensive examination provides important insights into a fundamental institution that makes modern democracy possible.

Download or read book The Canadian Party System written by Richard Johnston and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2017-09-01 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Canadian party system is a deviant case among the Anglo-American democracies. It has too many parties, it is susceptible to staggering swings from election to election, and its provincial and federal branches often seem unrelated. Unruly and inscrutable, it is a system that defies logic and classification – until now. In this political science tour de force, Richard Johnston makes sense of the Canadian party system. With a keen eye for history and deft use of recently developed analytic tools, he articulates a series of propositions underpinning the system. Chief among them was domination by the centrist Liberals, stemming from their grip on Quebec, which blocked both the Conservatives and the NDP. He also takes a close look at other peculiarities of the Canadian party system, including the stunning discontinuity between federal and provincial arenas. For its combination of historical breadth and data-intensive rigour, The Canadian Party System is a rare achievement. Its findings shed light on the main puzzles of the Canadian case, while contesting the received wisdom of the comparative study of parties, elections, and electoral systems elsewhere.

Download or read book Parties and Party Systems written by Richard Johnston and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2015-11-15 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Party systems. Party organization. For too long, scholars researching in these two areas have worked in isolation. This book bridges the divide by bringing together leading political scientists from both traditions to examine the intersection of rules, society, and the organization of parties within party systems. Blending theory and case studies, Parties and Party Systems builds upon the pioneering work of R. Kenneth Carty, whose ideas about brokerage politics have influenced a generation of scholars. The contributors explore four thematic pathways: How does brokerage work across lines of division in society? How do partisan teams hold together in the face of the centrifugal pressures that necessitate brokerage? How can parties withstand the complicated principal-agent relations that inevitably arise? And, how does the institutional context constrain a multitude of competing interests when it, itself, is quite fragile? By providing new perspectives on parties as organizations that exist within political systems and by raising key questions about the sustainability of brokerage politics, this volume will provoke theoretical reconsideration, prompt further integrative thinking, and inspire future research at the political organization-system nexus.
Download or read book Big Tent Politics written by R. Kenneth Carty and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2015-09-01 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Liberal Party of Canada is one of the most successful parties in the democratic world. It dominated Canadian politics for a century, practising an inclusive style of “big tent” politics that allowed it to fend off opponents on both the left and right. How did it do this? What kind of party organization did it build over the decades to manage its remarkable string of election victories? This book traces the record of the party over the twentieth century, revealing the cyclical character of its success and charting its capacity to respond to change. It also unwraps Liberal practices and organization to reveal the party’s distinctive “brokerage” approach to politics as well as a franchise-style structure that tied local grassroots supporters to the national leadership. R. Kenneth Carty provides a masterful analysis of how one party came to lead the nation’s public life. In a country riven by difference, the Liberals’ enduring political success was an extraordinary feat. But as Carty reflects, given the party’s not-so-distant travails, even with an election win, will it be able to reinvent itself for the twenty-first century?
Download or read book Rebuilding Canadian Party Politics written by R. Kenneth Carty and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2007-11-01 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Canadian party politics collapsed in the early 1990s. This book is about that collapse, about the end of a party system, with a unique pattern of party organization and competition, that had governed Canada’s national politics for several decades, and about the ongoing struggle to build its successor. Rebuilding Canadian Party Politics discusses the breakdown of the old party system, the emergence of the Reform Party and the Bloc Québécois, and the fate of the Conservative and New Democratic Parties. It focuses on the internal workings of parties in this new era, examining the role of professionals, new technologies, and local activists. To understand the ambiguities of our current party system, the authors attended local and national party meetings, nomination and leadership meetings, and campaign kick-off rallies. They visited local campaign offices to observe the parties’ grassroots operations and conducted interviews with senior party officials, pollsters, media and advertising specialists, and leader-tour directors. Written in a lively and accessible style, this book will interest students of party politics and Canadian political history, as well as general readers eager to make sense of the changes reshaping national politics today.

Jack Layton led the NDP to its best performance in history, and Michael Ignatieff and the federal Liberals had their worst showing to date. For most casual observers, this election marked a major shift in Canadian politics. In reality, the country’s political landscape and national party system had been changing for quite some time. Parties, Elections, and the Future of Canadian Politics offers the first comprehensive account of political change in Canada over the past two decades. It explores developments in the political landscape from both historical and contemporary perspectives and speculates on the future of the national party system. By documenting how parties and voters responded to new challenges between 1993 and 2011, this volume enhances our understanding of one of the most tumultuous periods in Canadian political history.
Download or read book Politics is Local written by R. Kenneth Carty and published by Don Mills, Ont. : Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Politics is Local examines a critical but often neglected aspect of party politics: the local. Virtually everything available on parties and elections in Canada focuses on parties as national organizations, yet most Canadians operate in their individual communities and their associations are driven by the idiosyncratic patterns of community life in Canada. The authors examine the local dimension of party politics, its organization, structure, and activity patterns. The book explores several dimensions of local politics and demonstrates that parties are deeply rooted in local communities and that the shape of these many communities profoundly structures political life.

The emergence of advertising agencies as publicity instruments of the party is examined in detail. The second part of the study deals with federal-provincial relations within the Liberal party, especially the relationship between the national party and its provincial counterparts in Quebec and Ontario. Some implications of federal-provincial intraparty conflict for the role of the national party are considered in detail.
Download or read book Grassroots Liberals written by Royce Koop and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2011-05-01 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Liberal Party has fallen on hard times since 2006. Once Canada's governing party but now confined to the sidelines, it struggles to renew itself. Drawing on interviews and personal observations in cross-country ridings, Royce Koop reveals that although the federal Liberal Party disassociated itself from its provincial cousins to rebuild itself in the mid-twentieth century, grassroots Liberals in the constituencies are building bridges between the national party and the provinces. This insider's view of party politics challenges the idea that Canada has two distinct political spheres the provincial and the national and suggests that national parties can overcome the challenges of multi-level politics by deepening ties with constituencies.
