Big Worlds
Author: Jared J. Wesley
language: en
Publisher: University of Toronto Press
Release Date: 2026-03-20
Big Worlds explores the political landscapes of Canada’s provinces and territories. This second edition examines how and why Canadians govern themselves at the subnational level. While the story of national politics often dominates headlines, Big Worlds reminds us that each province and territory contains its own political universe shaped by distinct histories, cultures, and identities. This book is organized around three key themes in each region: political culture, party system, and recent elections. Readers will discover why some Western Canadians have embraced populist movements, why Quebecers continue to debate the future of their nation within Canada, how democracy in Atlantic Canada has evolved, why Ontario appears to be in the midst of another Progressive Conservative dynasty, and how northern territories are reshaping ideas of self-government. Political scientists Jared J. Wesley and J.P. Lewis have updated the second edition of Big Worlds with the latest data from the Consortium on Electoral Democracy (C-Dem), including responses to COVID-19, the rise of new political movements, and landmark elections. This book also features thematic chapters on regionalism and leadership to highlight the broader patterns that connect (and divide) the country. An essential look into the distinctive yet uniting factors governing policies, democracy, and people across Canadian landscapes, this book is a vital contribution to our understanding of the country’s politics.
Routledge Handbook of Gender and Water Governance
Author: Tatiana Acevedo-Guerrero
language: en
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
Release Date: 2024-10-01
This handbook provides a comprehensive overview of the field of gender and water governance, exploring how the use, management and knowledge of water resources, services and the water environment are deeply gendered. In water there is a recognized gender gap between water responsibilities and water rights and bridging this gap is likely to help achieve not just goals of equity but also those of sustainability. Building on a rich legacy of feminist water scholarship, the Routledge Handbook of Gender and Water Governance is a collection of reflections and studies that can be used as a prismatic lens into a thriving and ever proliferating array of feminist water studies. It provides a clear testimony of how hydrofeminism has evolved from rather instrumental gender and water studies to scholarship that uses feminist tools to pry open, critically reflect on and formulate alternatives to water development-as-usual. The book also shows how the community of feminists interested in studying water has diversified and expanded, from often white female scholars studying projects and gender relations in the so-called Global South, to a varied mix of scholars and activists theorizing from diverse geographical and political locations – prominently including the body. It is organized into five interconnected parts: Part I: Positionality and embodied waters Part II: Revisiting water debates: diplomacy, security, justice and heritage Part III: Sanitation stories Part IV: Precarious livelihoods Part V: New feminist futures Each of these parts brings out the gendered nature of water, shedding light on the often neglected care and unpaid labour of women and its relationship with extractivism and socioeconomic inequalities. The overall aim of the handbook is to apply social science insights to water governance challenges, creating synergies and linkages between different disciplines and scientific domains. The Routledge Handbook of Gender and Water Governance is essential reading for students, scholars and professionals interested in water governance, water security, health and sanitation, gender studies and sustainable development more broadly.
