The Canadian Election Studies
Book (italiano):
<p>Why do Canadians vote the way they do? The primary objective of theongoing Canadian Election Studies (CES) has been to investigate thatquestion - to explain what makes people decide to vote (or not tovote), what makes them decide who to support, and why parties gain orlose ground from one election to another. After more than four decadesof gathering and analyzing data, principal investigators of the CEScome together in this volume to document the history of these surveysand consider their future.</p>This wide-ranging collection of essays provides useful background andinsights on the relevance of the CES. Contributors outline how the CESproject began and how far it has come, assess the quantity and types ofdata that have been collected, and explore the theoretical andmethodological developments that have transpired since theStudies' inception. Looking toward the future, they discuss whatwe have yet to investigate, highlight the challenges that lie ahead,and lend some long-range perspective to the debate about where to steerthe CES in the years ahead.<p><p><b>Mebs Kanji</b> is an associate professor of politicalscience at Concordia University. <b>Antoine Bilodeau</b> isan associate professor of political science at Concordia University.<b>Thomas J.
