Abstract
This chapter[1] surveys the political history of Western Australia (WA), explores the state’s relationship to the federation, unpacks the state’s political economy, and outlines its key constitutional, institutional and electoral features. We show the ways in which WA’s politics is shaped by its particular historical, political-economic and spatial characteristics.
