E.A. Heaman takes the reader through the development of the state in both principle and practice, examining Indigenous forms of government before European contact; the interplay of French and British colonial institutions before and after the Conquest of New France; the creation of the nineteenth-century liberal state; and, finally, the rise and reconstitution of the modern social welfare state. Moving beyond the history of institutions to include the development of political cultures and social politics, A Short History of the State in Canada is a valuable introduction to the topic for political scientists, historians, and anyone interested in Canada's past and present. $c From publisher's website. 650 0 $a Political culture $z Canada $x Historiography. 651 0 $a Canada $x Historiography. $x Historiography. 651 0 $a Canada $x Historiography. $x Historiography. 830 0 $a Themes in Canadian history ; $v 11. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20161202022154.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E85EC3DA6B5311E69AFE1DDBDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
