Looking at how specific Canadian public policy fields are being increasingly affected by globalization and internationalization factors and processes, this book also examines how these factors and processes have varied across policy fields and why these variations have occurred. All policy fields in Canada, such as foreign policy, social policy, trade policy, and environmental policy, have been directly influenced by the overall forces of globalization. Globalization, in this sense, refers to the accelerated processes of economic production and investment choices combined with massive technological changes in computers and telecommunications. But there is also a more intermediate set of effects and processes between the policy fields and globalization: these are the internationalization factors and processes. These would include policy instruments, international agencies and sovereignty issues, as well as ideas and discourse.
This volume is the culmination of an objective, in-depth study of the aggressive attack on the Alberta deficit launched by Premier Ralph Klein's government in 1993. Klein's was the first Canadian province to introduce drastic measures to eliminate its deficit-solely by means of expenditure cuts. After only two years, a $3.4 billion deficit had become a $958 million surplus. A Government Reinvented answers the question, 'How was this goal achieved so quickly?' The research needed to answer this question was distributed among nine experts in the fields of economics, education, and political science. The resulting papers were presented and critiqued at a conference in Banff, Alberta in November 1995. A Government Reinvented features the revised research papers, with parallel commentaries by specialists in economics, law, and public administration. The book examines not only the Klein government's specific cost-cutting strategies, but also general topics such as: theories of government budgeting and bureaucracy, institutional design and public policy, and the delivery of government services.
This work contains much of the best new research on Canadian-Jewish society, politics, and history by leading scholars in these areas. By examining the achievement of the community and the challenges it faces, this clarifies not only the evolution of Jewish people, but the evolution of ethnicity in Canadian society. The authors compare and contrast modern Canadian Jewry with their own past and their counterparts in the United States. They explore the sources for similarities and differences. The book also studies the sources and dimensions of the challenges that the Canadian Jewish community faces in attempt to survive the exigencies of modern life.
