Overview
One of nine volumes forming the Canadian Democratic Audit series, this volume assesses the extent to which the structures and processes of Canadian first ministers and cabinets, the central mechanisms of Canadian government, impede or promote democracy. White (political science, U. of Toronto, Canada) examines cabinet decision-making in the provinces as well as in the capital, Ottawa, and makes comparisons with other Anglo-Celtic democracies rooted in the Westminster model. The structures and processes of cabinets are assessed in relation to benchmarks of public participation, responsiveness, and inclusiveness, along with supplementary criteria of accountability and transparency. The volume concludes with recommendations for possible reforms. Distributed in the US by the U. of Washington Press. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, ORBook Details
