Public Policy in Canada (5th ed.)

A core textbook for courses in public policy, 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.
