Unfulfilled union : Canadian federalism and national unity
"Garth Stevenson examines Canada's political economy and concludes that the country has not achieved the same level of stability and centralization as other federations in the western industrialized world due to its close relationship with the United States and the vitality of Quebec nationalism. This edition of Unfulfilled Union includes a new introduction that discusses the extensive changes in Canadian federalism over the past decade."--Jacket
