The nine-volume award-winning Canadian Democratic Audit represents one
of the most ambitious examinations of Canadian democracy in recent
political scholarship. Authored by a team of Canada’s leading
political scientists, and published by UBC Press over a five-year
period, the Audit evaluates the performance of our central democratic
institutions, including elections, parliament, the executive,
federalism, political parties, and interest groups. This tenth volume,
Auditing Canadian Democracy, marks the culmination of this landmark
project. Using the Audit’s uniquely Canadian benchmarks of
participation, responsiveness, and inclusiveness, the contributors
synthesize and update their findings from the original volumes. A
concluding chapter presents a synopsis of the various reform proposals
put forth in the series. The original Audit was conceived as a
response to perceived voter discontent in the Canadian population.
Unfortunately, voter participation continues to decline today,
reminding us of the ongoing need to critically examine how well our
democracy serves contemporary society. Lively and accessible, this
volume offers a succinct and thoughtful examination of existing
practices and reforms and should be of interest to all Canadians
concerned with the health of their democracy.
