Book excerpt: In 2009, Canada's Public Policy Forum launched the Public Engagement Project to explore new ways of thinking about how governments, stakeholders, communities and ordinary citizens can work together--collaborate--to find and implement solutions to complex problems, such as climate change, poor public health or the failure to innovate. The project involved seven provincial/territorial governments-- British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Nunavut--the Canada School of Public Service, the City of Hamilton and the Government of Australia. It established an online dialogue with more than 500 officials from participating governments, and held some 30 workshops across Canada and in Australia. In addition, the project drew on several innovative projects, three of which are discussed at length in this book: the Canadian Sport Policy Renewal Process, Australia's Community Engagement Project and New Brunswick's Poverty Reduction Initiative. This book is the final report of the Public Engagement Project.
Download or read book Regulating Flexibility written by Mark P. Thomas and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2009-04-24 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a contemporary labour market that includes growing levels of precarious employment, the regulation of minimum employment standards is intricately connected to conditions of economic security. With a focus on the role of neoliberal labour market policies in promoting "flexible" employment standards legislation - particularly in the areas of minimum wages and working time - Mark Thomas argues that shifts toward "flexible" legislation have played a central role in producing patterns of labour market inequality. Using an analytic framework that situates employment standards within the context of the broader social relations that shape processes of labour market regulation, Thomas constructs a case study of employment standards legislation in Ontario from 1884 to 2004. Drawing from political economy scholarship, and using a qualitative research methodology, he analyses class, race, and gender dimensions of legislative developments, highlighting the ways in which shifts towards "flexible" employment standards have exacerbated longstanding racialized and gendered inequities. Regulating Flexibility argues that in order to counter current trends towards increased insecurity, employment standards should not be treated as a secondary form of labour protection but as a cornerstone in a progressive project of labour market re-regulation.

Download or read book The University written by Kern Alexander and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2002 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The expectations that society places on higher education are remarkably consistent among nations and the problems and issues faced by college and university leaders are quite similar worldwide. In The University the authors look at colleges and universities in Australia, Canada, South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States. They examine the purpose of the university, its evolution and change, its degree of autonomy, evaluations of performance and accountability, its role in guaranteeing human rights, financing, and efficiency and the influence of technology on instruction and structure – all issues that are highly relevant to university leaders and legislators who seek to form and fashion responsive and workable institutions and systems of higher education. The authors suggest measures needed to overcome organizational inertia and recognize the necessity of responsiveness to social and economic changes. Different aspects of worldwide human rights struggles that bear on the university are discussed – for instance the situation in South Africa, where higher education institutions are seeking to redress the misdeeds of the past. The authors also address the issue of public versus private institutional competition and the emergence of the private for-profit institution. Finally, the realities of how and to what extent technology can be relied upon to improve college and university instruction is examined. Contributors include Don Aitkin (University of Canberra, Australia), F. King Alexander (University of Illinois), Kern Alexander (University of North Florida), Michael J. Beloff (Trinity College, Oxford), Ian Clark (Council of Ontario Universities), Stephen R. Greenwald (Audrey Cohen College, New York), James J. Mingle (Cornell University), John H.
