Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neoliberalism, the ideology that seeks to reduce state intervention in the economy and society and advocates maximum scope for the free play of market forces, has profoundly changed Canada's political and public policy discourses over the past twenty-five years. Women and Public Policy in Canada is the groundbreaking collection by public policy scholars from across Canada that establishes an understanding of neoliberalism's impact on Canadian women and public policy and also builds a framework for theorizing future policy directions. Students will discover how a wide variety of public policy issues relate to gender in Canada through first-hand exposure to current policy research on topics such as child care, employment insurance programs, health care, climate change, race and inequality, anti-violence, and same-sex marriage. Students will also engage with the possibilities for inconsistencies and interruptions in neoliberalism, making this text an indispensable resource both for those requiring an up-to-date understanding of the topic and for current and future designers of public policy in Canada.

Download or read book Women Politics and Public Policy written by Jacquetta Newman and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2006 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Discussions of women's politics often treat feminist theory, the women's movement, and public policy-making as separate entities. In this text, Jacquetta Newman and Linda White argue that the three are closely entwined, and that understanding the intersections between them is essential to understanding women and politics in Canada. Women, Politics, and Public Policy explores how Canadian women's struggles against gender bias and oppression relate to political action, public policy change, and the women's movement as a whole. Designed as a core text for first-and second-year students of political science and women's studies, it is equally relevant to disciplines such as sociology, history, law, and social work, and will also be an invaluable reference source for more advanced studies."--BOOK JACKET.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: February 1995 legislation entitled the Budget Implementation Act repealed the Canada Assistance Plan and introduced the Canada Health & Social Transfer. This publication begins with a review of the Plan, what the new Act has taken away from national social programs, the history of national standards for social programs, the federal role in setting such standards, and implications for women and the poor. Chapter 2 describes the equality commitments made by Canada both internationally and domestically. Chapter 3 examines the application of equality rights when economic policies are challenged in the courts. Chapter 4 explores more closely the content of the rights instruments available to women and sets out interpretations of equality guarantees that can be responsive to women's material inequality and that draw on the richness and complexity of Canada's equality commitments. The final chapter considers the work that women must do to ensure that both social programs and equality guarantees can be responsive to women's needs and aspirations. Future directions are suggested for women's activism, institutional reform, and government policy.
Download or read book The Palgrave Handbook of Gender Sexuality and Canadian Politics written by Manon Tremblay and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-11-20 with total page 539 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Palgrave Handbook of Gender, Sexuality, and Canadian Politics offers the first and only handbook in the field of Canadian politics that uses 'gender' (which it interprets broadly, as inclusive of sex, sexualities, and other intersecting identities) as its category of analysis. Its premise is that political actors’ identities frame how Canadian politics is thought, told, and done; in turn, Canadian politics, as a set of ideas, state institutions and decision-making processes, and civil society mobilizations, does and redoes gender. Following the standard structure of mainstream introductory Canadian politics textbooks, this handbook is divided into four sections (ideologies, institutions, civil society, and public policy) each of which contains several chapters on topics commonly taught in Canadian politics classes. The originality of the handbook lies in its approach: each chapter reviews the basics of a given topic from the perspective of gendered/sexualized and other intersectional identities. Such an approach makes the handbook the only one of its kind in Canadian Politics.
Download or read book Critical Policy Studies written by Michael Orsini and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditional definitions of public policy in Canada have been challenged in recent years by globalization, the transition to a knowledge-based economy, and the rise of new technologies. Critical Policy Studies describes how new policy problems such as border screening and global warming have been catapulted onto the agenda in the neo-liberal era. The book also surveys the recent evolution of critical approaches to policy studies, which have transformed decades-old issues. Contributors conceptualize the ways in which public policy questions cut across the traditional fields of policy. They cover both topical approaches such as Foucauldian and post-empiricist analysis and new applications of established perspectives, such as political economy. Conventional methodologies reveal new connotations when used to explore such topics as security issues, Canadian sovereignty, welfare reform, environmental protocol, Aboriginal policy, and reproductive technologies. Critical Policy Studies provides an alternative to existing approaches to policy studies, and will be welcomed by scholars, students, and practitioners of political science and public policy.
