Environmental NGOs, new information technologies and the demand for environmental improvement in the developing and industrializing nations of the Asia Pacific region
Generally, the demand for environmental improvement increases with average per capita national income, although many other factors have an influence. In most Asia Pacific Region (APR) countries, pressures from population growth and poverty have lent an urgency to the idea that economic growth is currently more important than environmental protection. However, the relatively recent widespread acceptance of the concept of sustainable development ha…
Toward a Political Economy of Government Waste: First Step, Definitions
According to Vice President Al Gore's National Performance Review, latest blue-ribbon commission report on economy and efficiency in federal government, the average American believes we 48 cents of every tax dollar (Gore, 1993; 1). Not surprisingly, Rush Limbaugh's favorite source, Martin Gross, alleges that waste of enormous proportions is built into federal system, though most of it is expertly hidden; [it] is more prevalent than efficiency, mo…
A sceptic's guide to the claims of so‐called public interest groups
This paper provides a detailed analysis of the claims of so‐called public interest groups. It offers reasons why politicians, public servants, and citizens should be sceptical of the claims of these and other groups. While there are many definitions of the public interest, none provide a general guide to evaluating the enormous range of demands for government action faced by policy‐makers. The paper provides a general analysis of the nature of pe…
Landlords as Economic Prisoners of War
Rent regulation has been a feature of the rental housing market in Ontario since December 1975. As with other forms of regulation, people do not simply comply with the rules, they alter their behaviour in response to the constraints that have been imposed. Landlords can be expected to respond to policies that restrict their economic freedom by making use of five strategies. They may escape, adapt, cheat, wait, and lobby. The paper documents a num…
Privatization in British Columbia: Lessons from the sale of government laboratories
Among the more controversial privatizations that the Province of British Columbia announced in March 1987 were the sale of the soil, dairy and environmental laboratories. The last two performed testing to monitor private firms' compliance with provincial health and environmental regulations. A review of the three transactions offers lessons concerning both the process of privatization in British Columbia and the limits to privatization by contrac…

How pay equity legislation came to Ontario
This paper presents a detailed case analysis of the emergence of far‐reaching pay equity legislation (Bill 154) in Ontario in 1987 in order to test a general analytical framework designed to explain major changes in public policy. Three factors are postulated to be instrumental in the attainment of new legislative initiatives: changes in environmental variables (e.g., economic and demographic variables, historical trends and precedents); shifts i…

The Mother's Milk of Politics: Political Contributions to Federal Parties in Canada, 1974–1984
This study provides data to answer a number of important questions concerning the financing of the three main political parties at the federal level between 1974 and 1984. It analyzes both the regulated campaign expenditures by parties and candidates and the unregulated party expenditures outside official campaign periods. The main focus is on the importance of different sources of contributions to each party: individuals, corporations, trade uni…
Comparative lobbying strategies in influencing health care policy
This paper explores the proposition that the lobbying behaviour of pressure groups is strongly influenced by whether they are output‐oriented or process‐oriented. We argue that where a group focuses its lobbying efforts on obtaining economic gains for its members, a more confrontational approach will be used. If an interest group does not bargain directly with government for economic gains, but rather tries to foster a positive political climate,…

Regulation and the redistribution of income and wealth
Government regulation may be instituted to alter the distribution of income and wealth just as it may be instituted to remedy market failures and hence improve allocative efficiency. Consistent with what has been called our “nascent genius in redistribution.” Canada has made extensive use of regulation as a technique to redistribute income ‐ even where it may not have been established with that purpose mainly in mind. As a governing instrument, r…

Federalism, Bureaucracy, and Public Policy: The Politics of Highway Transport Regulation
In this book Richard J. Schultz analyses the political process which resulted in a major section of the 1967 National Transportation Act-Part III, which deals with highway transport regulation-never being implemented. In effect, he presents us with a case study of an act that has not become law. In his analysis Professor Schultz employs two models to explain the fate of Part III: the first is the unitary actor model, common to the study of Canadi…
