A Subtle Balance critically reflects on major trends and enduring
challenges over the last four decades of public policy and
governance. During this time, a tension has existed between two
aims for public decisions: that they be based on the best available
evidence and analysis, and that they be fully democratic. This
period has seen a continuing drive for more direct citizen
engagement in decision-making and governments trying to address
major policy issues through novel consultative and collaborative
processes. In essays that offer detailed and novel insights into
the recent history of specific issues in social policy,
environmental policy, and processes of policy advice and
decision-making, contributors elaborate on how these trends have
played out in diverse areas of practice, what their consequences
have been, and how specific institutional reforms could reset the
requisite balance between expertise, evidence, and democracy in
Canadian public policy. Inspired by the wide-ranging contributions
to scholarship and practice of A.R. (Rod) Dobell, A Subtle Balance
draws on the influences of distinguished scholars and sophisticated
practitioners of public policy to assess recent changes in
governance. Contributors include Martin Bunton, Barry Carin, Ian
Clark, Rachel Culley, Rod Dobell, Lia Ernst, Jill Horwitz, John
Langford, Justin Longo, Michael Prince, Harry Swain, Charles
Ungerleider, Josee van Eijndhoven, Michael Wolfson, and David
Zussman.
