State subventions to parties have been introduced in many Western democratic states
with little discussion about the effect that such payments from a state to a political party
have on the party. Political scientists, though, have conducted a lively debate about the
effect of these state subventions on parties and party systems. With the introduction of
state subventions in Canada, there is a significant opportunity to study the effects of the
subsidy on parties. This thesis is a case study of the Green Party of Canada during the
first three years after the introduction of state subventions to parties. The Green Party of
Canada offers us a unique opportunity to see a party emerge from fringe status with the
assistance of a state subvention to the party. There are many important findings we can
draw from this party’s experience of the state subvention. / ix, 128 leaves ; 29 cm.
