Governance Dilemmas in Canada, North America, and Beyond
Governance Dilemmas in Canada, North America, and Beyond
An alternative Canada? Mel Watkins’ nationalism, socialism, and contributions to the new Canadian political economy
Mel Watkins was an exceptional academic who worked so that Canadians could understand the distinct nature of this country and its economy. He was an intellectual who also described himself as a nationalist and a socialist, and, most unusually for an academic, as an activist. He opposed the US domination of the Canadian economy, tried hard to make the New Democratic Party a socialist party, and focused, in later parts of his life, on actions to en…
Gender and Climate Change Financing
Making gendered issues visible in any area of public policy is difficult, but dealing with major systemic issues like climate change presents particularly acute challenges. The overarching problem
The Gendered Impacts of Liberalization
Public Policy For Women
Containing essays from leading feminist academics, and social activists, Public Policy for Women addresses important public policy issues that fail to address women's needs. The volume's contributors pay particular attention to the relationship between the welfare state and vulnerable populations of women, while making substantial contributions to current public policy debates in Canada.Focusing on discussions of controversial issues such as sing…
Training the Excluded for Work
In recent years job training programs have suffered severe funding cuts and the focus of training programs has shifted to meet the directives of funders rather than the needs of the community. How do these changes to job training affect disadvantaged workers and the unemployed? In an insightful and comprehensive discussion of job education in Canada, Cohen and her contributors pool findings from a five-year collaborative study of training program…
Governing under Stress
This volume is the first work to emerge from a major international comparative research project exploring the political economy of globalization. This inter-disciplinary team of scholars is focusing on the semi-periphery of world power. Whether defined in social, cultural, economic or simply spatial terms, ‘semi-peripheral’ countries share two qualities: they are conscious of their subordination to the hegemonic powers at the centre of the global…
Global Instability
The Paper Boom and the Left
When I first studied Economics as an undergraduate student, we were taught to revere Keynesian economics and to reject the straight jacket of the classical system. Even as an undergraduate I struggled with some of the logic of Keynesianism. My professor told a story (probably apocryphal) of how when Keynes was approached by the head of a railroad about his problem of a dramatic reduction in riders, Keynes told him to build another railroad. We we…
Training and Equity Initiatives on the British Columbia Vancouver Island Highway Project
The equity initiatives in training and hiring on this large project were unique and stunningly successful. At peak production periods the equity hires constituted more than 20 percent of the workforce, a figure that is ten times higher than normal. This project was the first time a significant effort had been made to integrate women and First Nations in a commercial highway project. It was accomplished through two risk- taking and innovative meas…
From the Welfare State to Vampire Capitalism
Social policy as a progressive force has been more or less dead in Can-ada for the past ten years. ' The optimism of feminists in the 1970s- that government policy could be changed to reflect women's needs- has been replaced by the desperate realization that even the few redistribu-tive gains women worked so hard to achieve are being reversed? Women's political activism focused on the state continues, but it is activ-ism to hold on to what remain…
