Download or read book A History of Canadian Economic Thought written by Robin Neill and published by Routledge. This book was released on 1991-06-06 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In A History of Canadian Economic Thought, Robin Neill relates the evolution of economic theory in Canada to the particular geographical and political features of the country. Whilst there were distinctively Canadian economic discourses in nineteenth-century Ontario and early twentieth-century Quebec, Neill argues that these have now been absorbed into the broader North American mainstream. He also examines the nature and importance of the staple theory controversy and its appositeness for the Canadian case. With full accounts of the work of major Canadian economists including John Rae, H.A. Innis and Harry Johnson, A History of Canadian Economic Thought is the first definitive treatment of the subject for 30 years.
Download or read book Making Knowledge Count written by Peter Harries-Jones and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 1991 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Largely due to the impact of human rights legislation, especially in Canada, the radical dissent of the 1960s has been replaced by the more co-operative framework of social advocacy. Political activity is no longer necessarily radical or rooted in social class but instead expresses broad themes of cultural aspiration. Consequently, social activists and social scientists need a new understanding of the role of dissent in society. Peter Harries-Jones and the contributing authors provide that understanding in Making Knowledge Count.
Download or read book Gilles Paquet written by Caroline Andrew and published by University of Ottawa Press. This book was released on 2010-10-27 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores and contextualizes the contributions of Gilles Paquet as a social scientist. A quintessential public intellectual, Gilles Paquet's long and multifaceted career has shown him to be a thinker of significant power and creativity. This self-described "homo hereticus"--always critical and sometimes controversial--has influenced scholars and policy makers in Canada and around the globe. The contributors reveal how his assessments of economics, politics, public administration, and education have stirred their minds and helped them make sense of the world around them. The volume also provides comments on Paquet's vision of governance, touching on concepts of which he has made extensive use: meso-analysis, social learning, and moral contracts.
Download or read book Governance Through Social Learning written by Gilles Paquet and published by University of Ottawa Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Governance connotes the way an organization, an economy, or a social system co-ordinates and steers itself. Some insist that governing is strictly a top-down process guided by authority and coercion, while others emphasize that it emerges bottom-up through the workings of the free market. This book rejects these simplistic views in favour of a more distributed view of governance based on a mix of coercion, quid pro quo market exchange and reciprocity, on a division of labour among the private, public, and civic sectors, and on the co-evolution of these different integration mechanisms. This book is for both practitioners confronted with governance issues and for citizens trying to make sense of the world around them. Published in English.

Download or read book The Impact of Information Policy written by Kirsti Nilsen and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2000-12-30 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the effects of information policy. While information policy studies often consider the ideology underlying policy, the policy process, the stakeholders and players in that process, and the nature of the outcomes of policy development, there have been few studies that focus on the ultimate effects of information policy. This book looks at effects from two perspectives. First, it examines the impact of government-wide information policies on a specific government agency in terms of its dissemination policies for the information it provides. Secondly, the effects of the ensuing agency information policies on social science research are examined. The government-wide policies of interest here are cost-recovery and restraint initiatives imposed by the Canadian federal government in the mid-1980s. The policy statements specifically identified government information as an area in which increased revenues could be generated. Such de facto information policies can have a wide effect on government information production and dissemination. In this book, the history and background of the policies is considered and the effects were empirically examined using multiple methods of analysis. The period covered is mid-1980s through mid-1990s. An epilogue chapter provides information on recent policy developments in Canada and the continuing effects of the policies of the 1980s.
Download or read book Crippling Epistemologies and Governance Failures written by Gilles Paquet and published by University of Ottawa Press. This book was released on 2009-04-18 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Crippling Epistemologies and Governance Failures, Gilles Paquet criticizes the prevailing practices of the social sciences on the basis of their inadequate concepts of knowledge, evidence and inquiry, concepts he claims have become methodological “mental prisons”. Paquet describes the prevailing policy development process in Canada in terms of its weak information infrastructure, poor accountability, and inflexible organization design. In contrast, he suggests that social science and public policy should promote forms of “serious play” that would allow organizations to experiment with new structures. Paquet engages with numerous foundationalist programs in the social sciences in order to show their inadequacy and suggests important and unexplored directions in policy areas as diverse as education, science, health, intergovernmental and foreign policy. He closes the work with a plea for experimentalism in academic research, policy development, and organization design.

The paper seeks to replicate for the social sciences and humanities (SSH) the research program the Science Council has undertaken on university-industry linkages involving science and engineering faculties. It reviews the current state of university-industry relations in SSH. It identifies a number of basic issues surrounding the ability of the SSH to meet the changing demands being placed on them.
