Winner: Donner Prize for Excellence and Innovation in Public Policy Writing by Canadians (2016) Winner: New Brunswick Book Award for Non-Fiction (2016) Recent decades have shown the public's support for government plummet alongside political leaders' credibility.

ISBN: 9780802095794 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. There is a consensus throughout much of the western world that the public sector is in urgent need of repair. This study seeks to understand why this is so by comparing developments in Canada and the United Kingdom.

Donald J. Savoie argues that both Canada and the UK now operate under court government rather than cabinet government. By court government, he means that effective power now...

ISBN: 9780228017622 / Angielski / Twarda / 2023 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Canada’s political structure runs contrary to North America’s economic geography and the north-south economic pull.

Because of this, many Canadians, their communities, and their regions view themselves as victims, to a greater degree than groups in other Western democracies do. Our federal government has shown a greater willingness to apologize for historical wrongs than other Western countries. Canada also...

Taking Stock : Assessing Public Sector Reforms
ISBN: 9780773517431 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Distinguished scholars from six countries investigate the effects of reforms in a number of areas, including budgeting, personnel management, and accountability. While reforms have been beneficial in some of these areas, success has been far from universal. By comparing and contrasting measures in Canada, the United States, Britain, Australia, New Zealand, and Europe, contributors isolate and evaluate factors - such as individual political leaders and the complexity of government - that influence the success or failure of reforms. Contents: Introduction - B. Guy Peters (Pittsburgh) and Donald...
