EXCERPT: Preface-This book is designed to fulfill four basic objectives: (1) to describe, illustrate, and evaluate sixteen different ways of interpreting Canadian politics; (2) to stimulate interest in Canadian politics; (3) to enrich students' knowledge of Canadian politics by introducing them to new approaches; and (4) to demonstrate that no single approach can by itself generate an adequate, let alone balanced, explanation of the subject. Additionally, reading this volume should help students to recognize and make allowance for biases and to understand the strengths and the weaknesses, the potential and the limitations, of each approach as they encounter it in their studies. These sixteen original and generally brief essays should be of considerable help to those instructors and students who have spent tedious hours scouting libraries and bookstores for suitable material to illustrate the large number of noteworthy approaches. My own students will, I trust, find this wide-ranging single volume much more useful than the previous list of scattered sections and first or last chapters. While each chapter is self-contained and can profitably be read by itself, the significant benefits of assessing the inter-author comments and of general comparison will be largely missed if the book is not read in its entirety. The authors do not assume that readers come to this volume with substantial knowledge about Canadian politics; all chapters have been written with the beginning student in mind. Our aim is to help the student to understand and integrate the numerous ways in which substantive material is presented, be it in this book or elsewhere. Given this thrust and the usage of familiar categories, the beginning student should have no difficulty in relating these chapters to his other readings in politics. While the book may have many uses, it is intended to be used primarily as a main or auxiliary text for courses in Canadian and introductory politics. The annotated bibliographies at the end of each chapter should be helpful for students as well as instructors...
