Metropolitan Governance Revisited: American/Canadian Intergovernmental Perspectives
Donald N. Rothblatt and Andrew Sancton, eds., 1998, 480pp, $29.95, ISBN 0-87772-381-8, book #3818

Comparative collaborations of the quality and scope of the first edition of Metropolitan Governance are unusual. For authors to revisit their subject five years later with the same intensity and care is rare indeed. Metropolitan Governance Revisited is the most comprehensive, up-to-date look at federalism in the United States and Canada available anywhere. It will provide invaluable insights to scholars and students on both sides of the border.

Representation and Policy Formation in Federal Systems: Canada & the United States, edited by David M. Olson & C.E.S. Franks, 1993, 325pp, ISBN 0-87772-340-0, $24.95 Canada and the United States share not only a continent but governmental structures that are both democratic and federal. In actual practice, however, these democracies vary greatly. These essays examine policy making and representation in the U.S. and Canada, especially the legislatures, interest groups, and local governments.

Frances Frisken, ed., 1994, two volumes, 1200pp, ISBN 0-87772-344-3, $29.95
Co-published with The Canadian Urban Institute Toronto, Ontario

In these two volumes, public policy and metropolitan areas are Friskin?s principal interests. She challenges students of Canadian urbanism to adopt a multigovernmental perspective when considering the policy implications of the economic, technological, social, and environmental challenges that Canada's metropolitan areas must confront.
