De quelle facon les gouvernements provinciaux et territoriaux du Canada interviennent-ils dans la vie culturelle et artistique de leurs citoyens ? Quels changements et sources d'influence sont a l'origine de ces politiques et de leur mise en oeuvre ? Sur quels fondements ont-ils base et basent-ils de nos jours leurs interventions en ce domaine ? Comment les gouvernements traduisent-ils les notions de culture et de politique culturelle au fil du temps ? Quels sont les objectifs, les finalites de leurs politiques culturelles, ainsi que les outils d'intervention privilegies ? Les reponses a ces questions sont multiples et complexes de par les ideaux fondateurs et le contexte historique unique de chaque province et territoire, mais egalement de par les visees des gouvernements successifs concernes ainsi que les valeurs et les identites propres des populations qui y habitent. L'ouvrage Cultural Policy: Origins, Evolution, and Implementation in Canada's Provinces and Territories presente une histoire des politiques culturelles infranationales, incluant l'institutionnalisation et l'instrumentalisation de la culture par les gouvernements provinciaux et territoriaux; les objectifs et les finalites poursuivis par ces derniers; le role des ministeres, des societes de la Couronne, les organismes gouvernementaux et les principales institutions publiques dans le domaine de la culture; et le developpement, la diffusion et les impacts des politiques culturelles infranationales canadiennes.

This open access book features contributions from a multidisciplinary team of leading and emerging scholars focused on democratization of risk assessment, management, and communication. The volume identifies and sheds light on key risk governance dilemmas related to public trust, risk perception and public participation. The first part of the book articulates the relationship among science, expertise, deliberation and public values, featuring an in-depth analysis of the concept of ‘motivated reasoning,’ and the role of trust, values and worldviews in understanding and addressing contemporary controversies over risk decision-making. The volume’s second part features eight case studies from three policy fields – energy, genomics, and public health – and a special section dedicated to vaccine decision-making for Covid-19. Chapters analyze the level, nature and mechanisms of public involvement in risk decision-making, assessing its contribution to the effectiveness and legitimacy of decisions. The case studies focus predominantly on Canada, but they draw on global scholarship and are of direct relevance for scholars and practitioners of risk governance in any country.

Trade and investment policies face a changing geopolitical environment. They also face challenges from the interactions and limits of Canada's multiple trade agreements with other countries. These challenges take on varied forms in different sectors that involve the bordering of energy trade, food safety, and related environmental and public health issues. Similarly, bordering dynamics differ significantly for cross border flows of tourism, skilled labour, and irregular migration. This book uncovers and analyzes factors that govern economic activity and human interaction across Canada's "fluid" border. The contributors to this collection engage major domestic political, technical, and administrative factors that shape the conditions for and constraints on effective international policy and regulatory cooperation. Published in English.

Many scholars, practitioners, and policy-makers in the cultural sector argue that Canadian cultural policy is at a crossroads: that the environment for cultural policy-making has evolved substantially and that traditional rationales for state intervention no longer apply.
The concept of cultural citizenship is a relative newcomer to the cultural policy landscape, and offers a potentially compelling alternative rationale for government intervention in the cultural sector. Likewise, the articulation and use of cultural indicators and of governance concepts are also new arrivals, emerging as potentially powerful tools for policy and program development.
"Accounting for Culture "is a unique collection of essays from leading Canadian and international scholars that critically examines cultural citizenship, cultural indicators, and governance in the context of evolving cultural practices and cultural policy-making. It will be of great interest to scholars of cultural policy, communications, cultural studies, and public administration alike."

In the energy sector of Canadian economic and political life, power has a double meaning. It is quintessentially about the generation of power and physical energy. However, it is also about political power, the energy of the economy, and thus the overall governance of Canada. Power Switch offers a critical examination of the changing nature of energy regulatory governance, with a particular focus on Canada in the larger contexts of the George W. Bush administration's aggressive energy policies and within North American energy markets. Focusing on the key institutions and complex regimes of regulation, Bruce Doern and Monica Gattinger look at specific regulatory bodies such as the National Energy Board, the Alberta Energy and Utilities Board, and the Ontario Energy Board. They also examine the complex systems of rule making that develop as traditional energy regulation interacts and often collides with environmental and climate change regulation, such as the Kyoto Protocol on reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Power Switch is one of the first accounts in many years of Canada's overall energy regulatory system.
