Some political theorists have argued that Canada is one of the most successful democracies in history. Yet, Canada is a country of contradictions: its geography is vast and beautiful, but inhospitable; its small population is both a blessing and an economic curse; it is racked by tensions between its founding cultures and its regions but is regarded around the world as a model of cooperation and diversity. How does the Canadian political process help its society overcome these tensions? This course examines the historical, social, and political foundations of the Canadian political process, and explores the ways in which Canada's political system manages power, resolves conflict, overcomes divisions, and helps keep Canadian life civilized.
