Reprinted with a new introduction, from the winter 1984 issue of PUBLIUS, these 17 articles represent an attempt to assess the state of the Canadian federal system, especially in the wake of the patriation of the Constitution in 1982. While assessments of Canadian political life are certainly not novel, the contributors to this volume examine Canadian Federalism in a broad context while addressing theoretical issues. Co-published with the Center for the Study of Federalism.
