Emphasizing Canadian federal elections between 1993 and 2015, the book examines the Chretien\/Martin, Harper, and Trudeau governments and the campaigns that brought them to power. Using data from the Canadian Election Studies and other major surveys, \u003ci\u003eAbsent Mandate\u003c\/i\u003e documents the longstanding volatility in Canadian voting behaviour. The failure of elections to provide genuine policy mandates stimulates public discontent with the political process and widens the gap between the promise and the performance of Canadian democracy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47919622488222,"sku":"ING-9781487594800","price":57.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781487594800.jpg?v=1782814058","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781487594800","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
