  • Institutionalizing Advisory Bodies in Climate Governance: Between Transparency, Accountability and Efficiency

    Open AccessDavid Talbot, Luc BernierARTICLEEnvironmental Policy and Governance2026

    The implementation of effective climate governance increasingly relies on advisory bodies that monitor the effectiveness of policies and management mechanisms. Despite their strategic importance to institutionalizing climate governance, limited attention has been paid to the roles, trajectories, and effectiveness of these advisory bodies within evolving governance systems. This study aims to better understand the challenges of institutionalizing …

  • HIV-related Stigma and Alcohol Involvement Among People with HIV Who Engage in Unhealthy Drinking

    Open AccessLuc Bernier, Bradley J Anderson et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2026

    Unhealthy alcohol use is linked to several adverse health outcomes among people with HIV (PWH). HIV-related stigma (HRS) has been identified as a potential risk factor for unhealthy drinking, but research has been limited, and findings have been equivocal. This cross-sectional study examined associations between HRS and alcohol-related indices in a national sample of PWH with unhealthy alcohol use enrolled in an intervention trial for one of two …

  • Adaptive coping, emotions, and antiretroviral therapy adherence among gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (gbMSM) with HIV

    Open AccessJames D Foley, Luc Bernier et al.ARTICLEJournal of Health Psychology2025References: 46

    This study evaluated the hypothesis that positive emotions attenuate associations between negative emotions with adaptive coping and adherence, as well as explored evidence of the hypothesis of an indirect effect association between adaptive coping and adherence via positive emotions. The sample was 202 gbMSM with HIV who use substances (mean age [standard deviation] = 47.15 [12.26]; 34% Black, 14% Hispanic, and ≥50% with annual income ≤$20,000).…

  • Executive decision‐making during the Covid‐19 emergency period

    Open AccessLori Turnbull, Luc BernierARTICLECanadian Public Administration2022Cited by: 6References: 3

    Beginning in March of 2020, the unprecedented circumstances of the COVID‐19 pandemic caused a shift in the ways in which governments, and all organizations, performed many of their functions, including the ways in which they make decisions. In Westminster parliamentary democracies, the executive branch—with the support of the public service—has the capacity to respond quickly and decisively to matters at hand, which can make the system particular…

  • Why create government corporations? An examination of the determinants of corporatization in the Canadian public sector

    Open AccessLuc Bernier, Luc Juillet et al.ARTICLEPublic Administration2021Cited by: 5References: 12

    Public corporations have grown in popularity over the last 30 years, but the conditions that lead governments to create them are still debated. In this study, we draw on an original dataset of public organizations at the federal and provincial levels in Canada to test the prevalence of corporatization and the conditions associated with the creation of public corporations. Our results show that corporatization has been an important phenomenon in C…

  • Autonomy and distance from the centre as drivers of innovation in the public sector: Testing a positioning‐based hypothesis

    Open AccessLuc Bernier, Carl DeschampsARTICLECanadian Public Administration2020Cited by: 2References: 44

    A generally accepted assumption is that innovation in the public sector is easier when managers have more autonomy. Previous research has revealed a paradox: the most innovative organizations are autonomous organizations, but also central agencies, more so than ministries. What has not been documented so far in Canada is the quality and nature or type of innovation by location. We developed a database of applications for IPAC's innovative managem…

  • Public servants’ appreciation for themes in public administration scholarship

    Open AccessEtienne Charbonneau, Nicholas Bautista‐beauchesne et al.ARTICLECanadian Public Administration2019Cited by: 1References: 39

    One of the defining characteristics of Canadian Public Administration is its singular coverage of topics. In this research, we extend Wake Carroll and Kpessa’s (2007) work to see if the themes found in Canadian Public Administration ( CPA ) for the 2008‐2016 period are in line with the topics published for the 2000‐2006 period. We also compare the contemporary topics published in CPA to the Australian Journal of Public Administration ( AJPA ). We…

  • Policy Adrift: Canadian Crown Corporations in the 21st Century

    Open AccessLuc Bernier, Patrice Dutil et al.ARTICLEAnnals of Public and Cooperative…2018Cited by: 3References: 3

    Canada has had a strong tradition of using state‐owned enterprises for economic development. ‘Crown corporations’, as State‐owned enterprises are known in Canada, were created with a built‐in autonomy for their commercial activities on the condition that they also fulfil policy objectives. Of late, however, policy objectives have been articulated more through regulations and governance models and are issued far more from central agencies such as …

  • Strange bedfellows: Federal systems and performance management

    Stephen Jones, Geert Bouckaert et al.ARTICLERegional & Federal Studies2018References: 27

    This paper offers the first link between models of the measurement and management of performance and the dimensions of governance arrangements in federal systems. Four ideal type approaches to governance in federal systems are correlated against four ideal types of measuring and managing performance. The paper develops a model that will support empirical research examining reform trajectories where evolving systems of federalism require evolving …

    Open AccessEtienne Charbonneau, Luc Bernier et al.ARTICLECanadian Public Administration2018Cited by: 4References: 39

    This article examines the scholarly influence of Canadian public administration research compared to other national strands. First and foremost, we look at the number of Canadian studies in recent systematic literature reviews in public administration journals. Second, we compare Australian and Canadian journals as to their connection to the top 70 articles in public administration. Third, we compare the relative impact factors between the Canadi…

    Open AccessChristian Boudreau, Luc BernierARTICLEInternational Review of…2016Cited by: 5References: 14

    The article addresses the difficult conditions of interorganisational collaboration for the implementation of integrated electronic service delivery from three theoretical perspectives: institutional, political and managerial. These perspectives are used to conceptually define the main obstacles to interorganisational collaboration and the leverage available to public managers to facilitate the integration of electronic services. Based on a multi…

    Sommaire Les départs massifs à la retraite dans les fonctions publiques et le non‐renouvellement d'environ la moitié des effectifs posent non seulement le défi du transfert intergénérationnel des connaissances, mais aussi celui du management de ces dernières.

  • The Future of Public Enterprises: Perspectives From the Canadian Experience

    Open AccessLuc BernierARTICLEAnnals of Public and Cooperative…2011Cited by: 3References: 10

    Public enterprises have been an integral part of the involvement of the state in the economy for most of the 20th century. After 1980, privatization has been the dominant trend until the 2008–2010 economic crisis when new nationalizations happened. Ownership is only an element of a complex system of relations between a public enterprise and its institutional environment where the role of the board of directors, the mechanisms of coordination, the…

    Sommaire : Cette note de recherche vient compléter les travaux de Michael Howlett et coll. sur la capacité des gouvernements canadiens d'élaborer des politiques publiques. La vague du nouveau management public a pris son élan dans l'idée qu'il fallait améliorer la prestation des services à la population. Certains auteurs comme Metcalfe ont souligné que l'État négligeait alors la gestion en favorisant le « conseil stratégique » (policy advice). Il…

  • L’analyse des politiques publiques

    Open AccessSébastien Angers, Yves Boisvert et al.BOOKL’analyse des politiques publiques2010

    Depuis les années 1970, les États occidentaux connaissent tous d’importants problèmes de gouvernance liés à la hausse des dépenses systémiques, au creusement des déficits budgétaires et de la dette et aux transformations structurelles de la société. Ces tendances ne donnant aucun signe de s’inverser, les politiques de l’État sont désormais élaborées, mises en oeuvre ou modifiées dans ce contexte difficile. L’analyse des politiques publiques a une…

  • Les complémentarités institutionnelles du modèle québécois de développement

    Benoît Rigaud, Louis Côté et al.ARTICLERecherches sociographiques2010Cited by: 3References: 29

    Si le fonctionnement de l'économie québécoise poursuit principalement une logique libérale en raison de sa forte intégration continentale, divers facteurs historiques et culturels ont amené l'État du Québec à intervenir plus largement dans l'économie et à promouvoir un partage des fonctions de régulation avec certains groupes constitués de la société civile. À partir de la théorie des complémentarités institutionnelles, la présente étude cherche …

  • Réformes administratives, structures sociales et représentations collectives au Québec

    Joseph Facal, Luc BernierARTICLERevue française d administration…2009Cited by: 3References: 2

    Les réformes administratives sont des phénomènes sociaux. Élu en 2003, le Parti libéral du Québec avait promis la plus ambitieuse réingénierie de l’État du Québec depuis les années 1960. La montagne accoucha d’une souris. Une explication de cet échec doit aller au-delà de la nomenclature des maladresses politiques commises et faire une large place à l’étude des réseaux sociaux et à divers facteurs sociologiques et culturels issus de l’histoire du…

  • Les États-Unis: À la fois trop près et trop loin

    Luc BernierARTICLEPolitique et Sociétés2008

    L’américanité des Québécois conditionne la politique internationale du Québec. Comparativement aux relations France-Québec, les relations Québec-États-Unis soulèvent de nombreuses difficultés. Le Québec consacre peu de ressources à ce domaine où les problèmes à résoudre sont nombreux, les enjeux variés et le système politique difficile à cerner. Ce texte démontre qu’aux problèmes organisationnels s’ajoutent des facteurs sociaux qu’un sondage réce…

  • The Governance of Public Enterprises: The Quebec Experience

    Open AccessLuc Bernier, Louis SimardARTICLEAnnals of Public and Cooperative…2007Cited by: 6References: 8

    Have public enterprises become obsolete policy instruments? Should they be privatized or can their governance be radically transformed so that they could still be used as policy instruments? The world around them has changed and forced governments to move. After a discussion on the arguments in favour of privatization, this article suggests an analysis of three cases in the Canadian province of Quebec. Considering the pressures linked to the libe…

    This article proposes a cyclical theory of public entrepreneurship that is rooted in contextual conditions. The authors use material presented to the Institute of Public Administration of Canada for the annual innovation award, as well as an extensive literature review, to illustrate a new model for public entrepreneurship, arguing that today’s public entrepreneurs are teams and their actions are systemic. Public entrepreneurs do not create new a…
