The Evolving Canadian Crown - Smith, Jennifer; Jackson, D. Michael

Clean, tight, unmarked; absolute minimal wear; appears unread; The Crown in Canada - the institution of constitutional monarchy - has for some decades suffered from either benign neglect or accusations of irrelevance as a colonial relic. However, now it is the object of sympathetic scholarly attention, as reflected in the major policy conference in 2010 upon which this book is based. The 15 chapters in this book assess the Crown in Canada from a variety of perspectives: federalism, First Nations, the constitutional role of the governor general, the use of the reserve power, honours and public liturgy, and the "Canadianization" of the Crown. Comparative analyses of the Crown in Australia and New Zealand complete the picture. As Queen Elizabeth II marks her Diamond Jubilee in 2012, The Evolving Canadian Crown provides a stimulating insight into a little-understood yet key component of Canada's governance.
