Canadian Conservative Political Thought
Edited by Lee Trepanier and Richard Avramenko
JMC faculty partners Lee Trepanier and Richard Avramenko have recently edited a new book, Canadian Conservative Political Thought. Contributors include JMC scholars David Livingstone and Travis Smith:
This book corrects an imbalance in Canadian political literature through offering a conservative account of Canadian political thought.
Across 15 chronologically organized chapters, and with a mixture of established and rising scholars, the book offers an investigation of the defining features and characteristics of Canadian conservative political thought, asking what have Canadian conservative political thinkers and practitioners learned from other traditions and, in turn, what have they contributed to our understanding of conservative political thought today?
Rather than its culmination, Canadian Conservative Political Thought will be the beginning of conservative political thought’s recovery and will spark debates and future research. The book will be a great resource for courses on Canadian politics, history, political philosophy and conservatism, Canadian Studies, and political theory.
