Canadian political parties : leaders, candidates and organization / Herman Bakvis, editor.: Z1-1989/2-41-13E-PDF

"The selection of national party leaders and of candidates in constituencies, and the structure and management of party organizations all represent important and, in recent years, often controversial responsibilities of political parties. These are also responsibilities that have received little study.

For these reasons six separate studies on the internal dynamics of Canadian parties were undertaken on behalf of the Commission"--Preface.
