Description
"Canada and the United States explains, across fifteen diverse areas, why and how Canada and the United States are still so different. The book discusses whether or not these differences are growing, the key results of such differences, and the major challenges to be faced in each system. Focusing on institutions, political cultures, and social values, the book shows how both federal systems are extremely complex and how our institutions, cultures, and historical experiences often lead to show more very different outcomes. The fifth edition discusses the emergence of vital new issues, including the pandemic and its effects, climate change, energy requirements, vastly increasing international tensions, and new trade problems. This up-to-date edition discusses massive budgetary changes, an ongoing political crisis in the US with a former president convincing millions of his followers that the election was a hoax, and new forms of protest emerging in Canada. It includes discussion questions, data sources, and detailed endnotes for further reading. Written by leading scholars in their field, Canada and the United States reveals how two countries compare when dealing with similar problems that often spill across the border."-- show lessTags
