[This book] makes an important contribution to the sparse
literature on transitions in Canada and in parliamentary regimes
generally … A concluding section neatly sums up the authors’ advice
on transition planning. It is so wise and plainly stated that their
book will almost certainly become essential reading for future
transition teams in Canada, and it merits attention in other
parliamentary democracies as well.
*American Political Science Review*
In this fascinating work, the authors examine how the transition of
government in Ontario in 1995 was a surprising success involving,
as it did, the necessity of co-operation between political mortal
enemies. Cycling into Saigon has important lessons for everyone
involved or interested in this key stage of the electoral process,
wherever it takes place.
