A biography of C. D. Howe, who was a Canadian politician.
Policy Analysis in Canada
This volume offers a comprehensive overview of the many ways in which the policy analysis movement has been conducted, and to what effect, in Canadian governments and, for the first time, in business associations, labour unions, universities, and other non-governmental organizations.
Policy Studies in Canada
Twenty-one Canadian political scientists examine policy studies in the country from the beginnings of the field to speculations on future directions in research. The discussions describe influences and theoretical departures based on work investigating government, public administration, and political economy, describing the penetration of policy analysis into government and non-government organizations. Besides this historical overview, the volume also outlines the principal elements of four major methodological approaches used in contemporary Canadian policy studies, illustrating strengths and weaknesses in regards to Canadian policy.

Prospects for Canada
In 1985, the report of the Royal Commission on the Economic Union & Development Prospects for Canada (commission chair Donald Macdonald) set out recommendations that became a focus for the development of economic & social policy in Canada. This volume of papers reviews the contribution that the Macdonald Commission report made to Canadian public policy, examines the changes since then, and looks at the enduring lessons that policymakers can draw from its conclusions. The volume begins with a personal perspective on the Commission's work & report by Donald Macdonald, then presents papers on macro stability & economic growth (the economic & political climate, inflation, income policy, the deficit, unemployment, living standards), labour markets & social policy (including immigration, labour-management relations, education & training, income security), international trade (notably the recommendation for a Canada-United States free trade agreement), and federalism & Canada's economic union (executive federalism & regionalism, proportional representation, Senate reform, trade & capital markets, securities regulation, fiscal agreements, intergovernmental transfers).
Changing Politics of Canadian Social Policy, Second Edition
A consistent bestseller since its publication in 2000, Changing Politics of Canadian Social Policy is a one-of-a-kind resource in the fields of political science and social work. Examining current conditions affecting the development of social policies in Canada, this book offers in-depth critical analysis of how these policies first arose and the implications they pose for future policy development. This new edition of Changing Politics of Canadian Social Policy features updated chapters while retaining the first edition’s analytical focus on economic globalization, societal pluralization, and social protection. The authors offer fresh considerations of gender relations and families, community agencies and the voluntary sector, as well as the social policy activities of all levels of government in the Canadian federation. Changing Politics of Canadian Social Policy will continue to provide the much-needed groundwork for students and policymakers, as well as propose real solutions for the future.
Degrees of Freedom
A comparative study of Canadian and American responses to the changing international economy and to changing patterns of social diversity in domestic society, Degrees of Freedom traces the impact of these pressures on the economic and social structure, culture, political institutions, and policy regimes of the two countries.
Canadian Foreign Policy
Canadian Foreign Policy, as an academic discipline, is in crisis. Despite its value, CFP is often considered a “stale and pale” subfield of political science with an unfashionably state-centred focus. Canadian Foreign Policy asks why. Practising scholars investigate how they were taught to think about Canada and how they teach the subject themselves. Their inquiry shines a light on issues such as the casualization of academic labour and the relationship between study and policymaking. This nuanced collection offers not only a much-needed assessment of the boundaries, goals, and values of the discipline but also a guide to its revitalization.
