A similar agreement has been a win for Canadian researchers for some years. It will certainly have an impact on our @regstud.bsky.social journals.

Hi everyone, so this is happening & I would be really glad to have you all join me in this conversation.
Academic writing is tough & publishing tougher. However there are avenues that are a middle grounds of academic publishing where all ideas are open for discussion & writing is flexible.

“This excellent and important book is a thorough, well researched, and fully modern look at the political science of Canada’s biggest core cities. … a long-overdue update to the original that matters well beyond those who study city governments – or run them.” - David Miller, former mayor of Toronto

In this overview of political development in seven large Canadian cities, we illuminate the drivers of continuity and change in urban politics from the early 1980s to the present. Inspired by the 1983 volume (same title) edited by Andrew Sancton and the late Warren Magnusson. We have nice blurbs:

This extends our OA paper "The Development of the Urban-Rural Cleavage in Anglo-American Democracies" published in @cpsjournal.bsky.social last year. We found that the urban-rural divide is bigger in the US and the UK than it is in Canada. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....
