Howard Cody, Professor of Political Science, holds a joint appointment with the Canadian Studies program. He received his Ph.D. in Political Science from Canada's McMaster University in 1977. His major research fields include core-periphery relations in regionally fragmented countries like Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom, and politics in Westminster-model Parliaments. He concentrates on Canadian party and parliamentary politics, especially in the West and the Atlantic provinces. His work on Canada's Parliament has led to research and interviews in Australia and New Zealand to study institutions and electoral systems there. Most of his research and teaching focuses on Canada. He has published on Canadian politics in the Canadian Parliamentary Review and Inroads in Canada, and in the Maine Scholar and Great Plains Quarterly in the United States. He also has published several essays in the American Review of Canadian Studies, where he serves as Associate Editor. He has published on British politics in the British Journal Political Studies and on Australian politics in Australian Quarterly and in an entry in the Australian Senate Papers on Parliament series. Between July 1997 and May 2001 he published some thirty-seven columns on United States-Canada issues in the Portland, Maine monthly Northeast International Business Journal. His current research centers on Canada's regional and third party politics, and the New Zealand mixed member proportional election system that Canadians are considering for their country. He serves as Secretary for the regional Canadian Studies association, the Middle Atlantic and New England Council for Canadian Studies (MANECCS).
