  • Defying the Odds
    DEFYING THE ODDS Similarity and Difference in Canadian Elementary and Secondary Education By Jennifer M. Wallner A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Political Science University of Toronto © Copyright by Jennifer M. Wallner (2009) Defying the Odds: Similarity and Difference in Canadian Elementary and Secondary Education Jennifer M. Wallner PhD. Thesis Department of Political Science University of Toronto 2009 Abstract: This dissertation explains why and how, in the absence of direct federal participation, the Canadian provinces invest at comparable levels, achieve similar outcomes, and produce similar policies while simultaneously maintaining distinctive policy particularities in the elementary and secondary education sector. Given the limited national direction and the extensive autonomy afforded the Canadian provinces, for both students of federalism and education policy, the significant interprovincial similarities appearing across the subnational education sectors are a puzzle to be explained. I develop this analysis by exploring my puzzle in two comparative contexts: cross-nationally and longitudinally. To account for patterns of educational policy similarity and difference, the dissertation points to the movement of policy ideas across the provinces in response to their increasing legal, economic, organizational, and cultural interconnectedness. My dissertation argues that as interconnections among the provinces increased, the movement of policy ideas across the provinces intensified. As policy ideas moved, provincial governments would determine whether a policy from another jurisdiction could be suitable in their own. The subsequent decision to adopt the policy of another turned critically on both the existing relations between the jurisdictions and viability of the new idea within the internal policy context of the receiving jurisdiction.

  • Successful Public Policy: Lessons from Canada
    Book Proposal to Oxford University Press, 2020 Successful Public Policy: Lessons from Canada Editors: Michael Howlett, Evert Lindquist, Grace Skogstad, Genevieve Tellier, Paul ‘t Hart 14 May 2020 Draft Abstract In Canada many public projects, programs, and services perform well, and many are very successful. However, these cases are consistently underexposed and understudied in the policy literature which, for various reasons, tends to focus on policy mistakes and learning from failures rather than successes. In fact, studies of public policy successes are rare not just in Canada, but the world over, although this has started to change (McConnell, 2010, 2017 and forthcoming; Compton & ‘t Hart, 2019; Luetjens, Mintrom & ‘t Hart, 2019). Like those publications, the aims of the book are to see, describe, acknowledge, and promote learning from past and present instances of highly effective and highly valued public policymaking. This exercise will be done through detailed examination of selected case studies of policy success in different eras, governments and policy domains in Canada. This book project is embedded in a broader project led by ‘t Hart and OUP exploring policy successes globally and regionally. It is envisaged as a companion volume to OUP’s 2019 offering Great Policy Successes (Compton and ‘t Hart, 2019) and to a concurrent volume project on policy successes in the Nordic countries that will also be submitted to OUP. The Canadian volume provides an opportunity to analyze what is similar and distinctive about introducing and implementing successful public policy in one of the world’s most politically decentralized and regionally diverse federation and oldest democratic polities.
