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.

l'administration publique et l'education les ont aides a mieux
