DESCRIPTORS *Activism; Adult Education; *Citizen Participation; *Citizen Role; *Citizenship Responsibility; Community Education; Community Involvement; Democracy; Global Education; *Government Role; Political Attitudes; *Social Change; Trust (Psychology) IDENTIFIERS Canada; *Government Citizen Relationship ABSTRACT This report explores questions about roles for citizens and governments in a good society by examining six Canadian experiences with civic engagement. Each case study involves different sectors of society, key players, goals, processes, and outcomes; touches on long-standing policy issues, in Canada; and, details how players have come together or failed to engage one another and work toward finding creative solutions to often overwhelming and complex policy situations. Many experiences highlight obstacles to a trusting relationship between government and citizens, while pointing to steps that citizens and governments can take to recreate their relationship and allow for meaningful, mutual engagement. None of the case studies provide a neatly packaged outcome. They involve these three kinds of situations: government-initiated engagement (immigration review, National Forum on Health); citizen-initiated engagement (Sydney Tar Ponds, Nunavut); and citizens in the global arena (Multilateral Agreement on Investment, regulating. financial services). Following each case study, questions regarding effective engagement are explored.

An Interview with David Zussman
Vol. 3, Iss. 2 Spring 2012 In Conversation Public Policy & Governance Review An Interview with David Zussman David Zussman has had a long and distinguished career both in and out of the public service in Canada. He is the current Jarislowsky Chair in Public Sector Management at the University of Ottawa, and has worked in the offices of Rt. Hon. Jean Chrétien, the Privy Council Office, and for organizations such as the Public Policy Forum and EKOS Research. Prior to the most recent federal budget, the Public Policy and Governance Review sat down with Professor Zussman to discuss the lessons he has learned throughout his career in public policy, and policy challenges in the current era of fiscal constraint. _______________________________________________________________________ Could you start off by talking about your career, and, in your different roles, where you felt you could affect change the most. Did it depend on the role or the people who were there in the situation? For students in public policy reading this interview, I think one of the interesting things about my background is that my first degree is in computer science and math, and my doctorate is in psychology, so I’m not typical by way of entry into the world of public policy. After my doctorate at McGill, I started my career at Statistics Canada, taking advantage of my statistics background by doing a series of large-scale studies. In those days, there were huge data sets, and not a lot of experience in the federal government with manipulating data, which I had done as part of my graduate work.
