Mayne Summary The essays especially commissioned for this volume document the response of the state in Canada to developments in several crucial policy spheres. These include both traditional problem areas such as health, language, and natural resources and some of emerging interest or deepening concern such as legal aid, northern development, and industrial strategy. In their introductory essay the editors argue that research on public policy in Canada has focused on four fundamental themes: the question of what determines variation in patterns of public policy; the importance of the policy field itself for understanding state activity; the choice and consequences of alternative means to a policy goal; the question of what happens after a decision is taken and acted upon. Each of the essays in this volume addresses one or more of these themes: policy determinants, policy type, policy instruments, and impact. Together they support the editors' contention that there are several routes to an understanding of the policy process in Canada and, indeed, several policy processes. Finally, the essays bring us some distance closer to the goal of understanding how state and society are related in Canada Analysis Canada Politics Bibliography Includes notes with bibliographical references at chapter ends Notes Master and use copy.
