Now in its sixth edition, this classic work continues to chronicle the changing landscape of public policy issues in Canada. Offering essential information in an accessible style, Miljan begins by covering the fundamental concepts, theories, contexts, and approaches to public policy before taking a deeper look in later chapters into six principal fields: macroeconomics, social programs, health, family, Aboriginal peoples, and environmental policy. Featuring the latest data and in-depth discussions on highly debated topics - ranging from the recent global recession and its aftermath to ongoing land-claims disputes to the costs and benefits of 'going green' - this sixth edition provides an informed overview of key political, economic, and social factors that drive public policy-making in Canada. Readership : Public Policy in Canada, sixth edition, is aimed at second- and third-year students studying Canadian public policy in political science departments at universities and some colleges nationwide. These public policy courses will also sometimes be offered through public administration programs.
