Abstract
The relationship between the phase space path integral in (2+1)-dimens ional gravity and the canonical quantization of the corresponding redu ced phase space in the York time slicing is investigated. The equivale nce of these two approaches is demonstrated, and some subtleties in th e definition of the path integral necessary to prove this equivalence are discussed.
