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.
