Notes:

"This volume presents a review and critical assessment of major trends and themes in public policy and governance in Canada over the past four decades. It is a culmination of a three-year project, centred on a symposium held at the University of Victoria in the summer of 2011. The symposium convened an intensive dialogue on policy and governance among thirty distinguished participants of two types: academics who conduct research on public policy and governance, and sophisticated practitioners with long experience dealing with policy and governance from the perspective of practical engagement in real, high-stakes decisions"--Editor's introduction. This volume is inspired by the wide-ranging contributions to scholarship and practice of A.R. (Rod) Dobell. Includes bibliographical references (pages 291-324) and index.
