Online resources: Summary: Research on public policy in Canada has focuses on four fundamental problems: the question of what determines variations 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; and the question of what happens after a decision is taken and acted upon. Each of the essays commissioned for this book addresses one or more of these themes of policy determinants, policy type, policy, instruments, and impact.
