"The fifth edition of Canadian Federalism continues to provide a nuanced, balanced, and timely assessment of the complexities and diversity of federal arrangements across policy fields. Its historically, theoretically, and empirically -informed scholarship is a timely reminder of our federal system’s adaptability to changing circumstances, and the continued need for adaptation to evolving, often competing public needs and expectations across communities, regions, and policy fields."
