"Changing Canada" examines political transformations, welfare state restructuring, international boundaries and contexts, the new urban experience and creative resistance. The authors question dominant ways of thinking and promote alternative ways of understanding and explaining Canadian society and politics that encourage progressive social change. They examine how the evolution of capitalism is producing new types of transformations and new forms of resistance, and show that aspects of the state and the wider society are being contested. They also discuss the often paradoxical or contradictory effects of various social forces, such as the liberating but also constraining features of new communications technologies, new employment norms and new household forms.

Industry Reviews

"There is no other book which provides this kind of overview and wide-ranging coverage. High quality contributions provide coherent accounts of recent thinking, and offer new insights, evidence, and challenges. The volume succeeds admirably in promoting cross-fertilization among the fields. Clear threads and themes run throughout the book." Martha MacDonald, Department of Economics, Saint Mary's University /// "A fresh, updated formulation of the distinctive school of Canadian political economy's multifaceted, trenchant, if sometimes conflicted, positions." Stephen Clarkson, Department of Political Science, University of Toronto
