The Chrétien Legacy
Assessing the legacy of Canada's twentieth prime minister.
How Ottawa Spends, 2009-2010
This is the thirtieth volume in the series How Ottawa Spends. It is arguable that never in these years have Canadians faced such serious economic upheaval and political dysfunction as the current climate. The dramatic and seemingly sudden changes in the economy occurred simultaneously with a political drama - one that was largely disassociated from the real and pressing economic challenge. Early Harper budgets delivered lower taxes for all Canadians partly through highly targeted but politically noticeable small tax breaks on textbooks for students, tools for apprentices in skilled trades, and public transit costs. The needs of the beleaguered average Canadian and the "swing voter in the swi...
Changing Politics of Canadian Social Policy
The authors track the history of the welfare state from its establishment in the 1940s, through its development in the mid 1970s, to the complications of globalization and an increasingly diverse population in the 1990s.
Handbook on Global Social Justice
In the fifty years since Rawls seminal work A Theory of Justice, the concept has been debated with those on the political right and left advocating very different understandings. This unique global collection, written by a group of international experts, offers wide-ranging analyses of the meaning of social justice that challenge the ability of the market to provide social justice for all. The Handbook also looks at how the theory of social justice informs practice within a range of occupations or welfare divisions.
From Rights to Needs
This book explores the family allowance phenomenon from the idea's debut in the House of Commons in 1929 to the program's demise as a universal program under the Mulroney government in 1992. Although successive federal governments remained committed to its underlying principle of universality, party politics, bureaucracy, federal-provincial wrangling, and the shifting priorities of citizens eroded the rights-based approach to social security and replaced it with one based on need. In tracing the evolution of one social security program within a national perspective, From Rights to Needs sheds new light on how Canada’s welfare state and social policy has been transformed over the past half century.
Social Fabric Or Patchwork Quilt
Both historical and contemporary features of Canadian social welfare are explored in this wide-ranging and in-depth collection. Social Fabric or Patchwork Quilt explores the evolution of the Canadian social welfare state from a system based upon voluntarism and philanthropy to one in which the State's involvement has increased considerably. It also shows how the roles of governments at all levels have changed in recent times. Chapters describe the developing Canadian welfare state from Confederation to the present. Beginning with an integrative framework in the general introduction, the selected essays represent many perspectives: chronological, regional, multidisciplinary and ideological. A...
Canada Under Mulroney
The Canadian Progressive Conservative Party came to power in 1984 with ambitious policy objectives. Economic renewal, greater social justice, national reconciliation, and reform of the bureaucracy were top priorities for the Mulroney government. Canada Under Mulroney brings together Canada's leading public policy analysts to assess the Tories' 1984 electoral aims and the government's record of delivering on its promises. This book is an indispensable reference source for university level courses on Canadian government, public policy and public administration. It is also invaluable to all concerned Canadians seeking a better understanding of the policy choices facing us today.
