关于此电子书

Tatalovich (political science, Loyala U.) continues his studies on moral conflicts in public policy by examining the differences and similarities by which Canadian and US governments, political parties, and activists have addressed the issue of abortion. He discusses the history of the conflict since the 1950s, judicial activism and legislative responses, public opinion, party politics and elections, and federalism and the implementation problem. Having proposed models of a politicized America and depoliticized Canada, he concludes by comparing social convergence and institutional divergence. Paper edition (418-7) $21.95.
