| Sommario/riassunto: | The Liberal Party has fallen on hard times since 2006. Once Canada's natural governing party but now confined to the opposition benches, it struggles to renew itself � presumably without the support of the provincial-level Liberal parties. Drawing on interviews and personal observations in cross-country ridings, Royce Koop reveals that although the Liberal Party, like other parties, disassociated itself from its provincial cousins to rebuild itself in the mid-twentieth century, grassroots Liberals and other partisans continue to build bridges between the national party and the provinces. This insider's view of Liberal party politics not only challenges the idea that Canada has two distinct political spheres � the provincial and the national � it suggests that national parties can overcome the challenges of multi-level politics, strengthen their ties to provincial politics, and deepen their legitimacy by tapping the activism, energy, and support of constituency associations and local campaigns. |
