The growth of what some academics refer to as 'the policy analysis
movement' represents an effort to reform certain aspects of
government behaviour. The policy analysis movement is the result of
efforts made by actors inside and outside formal political
decision-making processes to improve policy outcomes by applying
systematic evaluative rationality to the development and
implementation of policy options. This volume offers a
comprehensive overview of the many ways in which the policy
analysis movement has been conducted, and to what effect, in
Canadian governments and, for the first time, in business
associations, labour unions, universities, and other
non-governmental organizations.
Editors Laurent Dobuzinskis, Michael Howlett, and David Laycock
have brought together a wide range of contributors to address
questions such as: What do policy analysts do? What techniques and
approaches do they use? What is their influence on policy-making in
Canada? Is there a policy analysis deficit? What norms and values
guide the work done by policy analysts working in different
institutional settings? Contributors focus on the sociology of
policy analysis, demonstrating how analysts working in different
organizations tend to have different interests and to utilize
different techniques. They compare and analyze the significance of
these different styles and approaches, and speculate about their
impact on the policy process.
