Summary:
"Stephen Harper is the first prime minister to declare that his goals include changing Canada by entrenching conservative values and replacing the Liberals as the country's natural governing party. After nine years of a closed-door governing style, his agenda is no longer hidden. As Brooke Jeffrey outlines, Harper's agenda is driven by a desire to impose order and tradition at home, and to take firm stands on emerging issues abroad. With only thirty-nine per cent of the popular vote in 2011, his government appears to have gone a surprisingly long way towards achieving those objectives, with little or no concerted public opposition. Illuminating the importance and influence of British and especially American right-wing conservatives on Harper's strategies, the book explains how he has achieved so much through a combination of stealth, pragmatism, and ruthless determination. Dismantling Canada explores Harper's successes and failures, and evaluates the likely outcome of his long-term agenda. Brooke Jeffrey is a former policy adviser to Liberal Party leaders and is a professor of political science at Concordia University"--Provided by publisher.
