Summary
This is a core textbook for courses in public policy in Canada, aimed at second- and third-year level undergraduate courses. This public policy text provides a more hands-on approach to the subject. This edition examines what governments in Canada do, why, and what the consequences are for the political, social, and economic fabric of the country. In Part I the author presents the concepts, theories, and context of public policy, and also explores how politics are implemented. Part II offers extensive and thought-provoking discussions of six significant issue areas in current Canadian policy-making: macroeconomic policy, social policy, health policy, family policy, Aboriginal policy, and water policy.
