Canada and the United States: Differences That Count, Fifth Edition

"Thomas and Sands have assembled an impressive group of academics, public intellectuals, and former government officials to tackle the question of whether institutions, political culture, or policy leadership drive the Differences that Count. Information-rich chapters cover topics from economic inequality and the courts to protest and health care and are accompanied with useful data sources and reflection questions that will challenge experts as much as students.."

Irene Bloemraad, Class of 1951 Professor of Sociology and Thomas Garden Barnes Chair of Canadian Studies at the University of California, Berkeley

"The new edition of Canada and the United States is better than ever. The editors have assembled a team with a range of valuable experiences in academia and the policy world. The subject matter includes demographic futures and their implications, institutional and governance questions, economic issues, and key policy challenges. This comprehensive volume is essential reading for those interested in Canada and the US, as well as public policy in general."

Patrick James, Dornsife Dean’s Professor of International Relations, University of Southern California

"Clearly written and brimming with ideas, this book is hugely valuable in the classroom. As its popularity attests, it is fair, balanced, and insightful. No student of Canada–US relations should be without a copy."

Charles F. Doran, Andrew W. Mellon Professor of International Relations, School of Advanced International Studies, Johns Hopkins University
