Transforming Provincial Politics: The Political Economy of Canada's Provinces and Territories in the Neoliberal Era

‘This volume provides a valuable analysis of each province…. Each chapter provides a useful historical account of recent economic, social, and political change… Recommended for students of Canadian politics.’

P.N. Malcolmson, Choice Magazine - Vol 53:05:2015

‘Readers of this book will learn a great deal about provincial politics over the past 35 years; their eyes will be opened to the "mystery" of territorial politics; they will obtain a fuller appreciation of the pervasiveness of neoliberalism at the provincial level.’

Rand Dyck, Labour/Le Travail vol 77 spring 2016

‘Provincial specialists often have crowded bookshelves. Because good material is dispersed and rare, many titles grace my shelves "just in case." But this anthology arrives just in time – and I will work it hard for reference and teaching.

Jamie Lawson, BC Studies issue 192 Winter 2016/17

‘Evans and Smith’s edited volume must be an obligatory read for Canadianists, foreign policy analysts, international relations actors, economists, political economists, political scientists, and policy analysts that want to understand how neoliberalism operates at the local level.’

Stefano Tijerina, American Review of Canadian Studies vol 46:04:2016

“There is no other work that deals as comprehensively with how neoliberalism has shaped Canada’s provinces and territories. Transforming Provincial Politics is an outstanding collection.”

Stephen McBride, Department of Political Science, McMaster University

“Transforming Provincial Politics represents a major step forward for Canadian political economy. Every page provides fresh insights on how neoliberalism has remade provincial governments – often to the benefit of business and the affluent alike. Evans and Smith’s collection of rigorously researched and well-argued chapters is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the inner workings of provincial politics today.”

John Peters, Department of Political Science, Laurentian University
