Look Inside

Canadian Political Structure and Public Administration, 6th Edition

Geoffrey J. Booth, Andrew J. Rowley
Available

Canadian Political Structure and Public Administration, 6th Edition places the role of law enforcement in a larger political and social context, providing readers with a practical overview of Canada’s political structure, governance, and public policy. 

The sixth edition incorporates several new themes, including an emphasis on institutional racism, the loss of trust in public institutions, political disengagement, and Canada’s institutional response to the Covid-19 pandemic. It also highlights the political realities faced by Canada in the 21st century, such as Canada’s relationship with the United States, new measures being taken to battle domestic and international threats of terrorism, and Canada’s re-emergence on the international stage. 

This is the ideal resource for Police Foundations and PSI programs in need of an engaging and accessible approach to Canada’s political landscape.
