Unknown Author

4.9/5 (13195 ratings)

Description:Canada is often held up as an example of a healthy democracy. However, the Canadian public is less enthusiastic about the way our democracy works. Rather than focusing on institutional performance, this book approaches the "democratic deficit" from the perspective of the Canadian public and assesses the performance of political leaders and the media in light of Canadians' perceptions and expectations.In doing so, a number of chapters highlight the disjuncture between perceptions and performance. For example, governments do keep many of their election promises, and media coverage is not as negative as we are apt to believe. Similarly, the book provides new insights into political apathy by drawing on focus group discussions that represent the first attempt to ask politically marginalized Canadians why they have turned their backs on politics.By introducing the voice of everyday Canadians, this book adds a new perspective to political discussions in this country. "Canadian Democracy from the Ground Up" is essential for anyone who would like to learn how to build a better democracy -- one that meets the expectations of the Canadian public.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
