Citizen-Led Participation in Ontario Policy-Making Through the Social Web: Citizen-led Participation in Ontario Policy-making by Karen Louise Smith A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Information University of Toronto Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 2.5 Canada by Karen Louise Smith 2013 Through the Social Web: Citizen-led Participation in Ontario Policy-Making Karen Louise Smith Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Information University of Toronto 2013 Abstract In the mid to late 1990s, many states developed eGovernment programs that included the use of consultation technologies. More recently, the social characteristics of the web have emerged as offering an alternative means for citizen participation, promising more openness and inclusion. In this dissertation I draw upon studies of the policy-making process and media design, to examine the implications of citizen-led production of infrastructures for public participation in policy-making through the social web and within the context of open government discourse. My research methods for this research project were ethnographically informed. I participated in the design and use of social web infrastructures for participation in policy-making as a contributor to open government communities in Ontario, Canada. I also analyzed Hansard records as well as the popular press, and interviewed 15 citizen designers who created social web based infrastructures for public participation in the policy-making of four bills in Ontario. In my research, I develop and use the term citizen designer drawing on the more common phrase of citizen journalist. Both terms suggest that citizens can engage in creative ii practices to encourage institutions such as government or the mass media to become more participatory. The citizen designers in my project were found to act as policy entrepreneurs, sometimes for particular bills, but more generally for the broader ideal of open government that includes citizen participation. The major finding of this work is that citizens are using an integrated mix of social web tools across multiple policy windows to promote openness and participation. This work contributes to the policy, information and the internet studies literatures on the roles and experiences of internet-savvy policy entrepreneurs who are situated in civil society networks, which are not always tied to formal organizations. This work also expands our understandings of citizenship to include the design and use of the social web in everyday political life. iii Acknowledgments It takes a village to help a scholar to complete her PhD. My village includes my research participants, supervisory committee, colleagues, my friends and family and also some funders. I would like to begin by thanking my research participants who shared their insights with me and made this work possible. At the university, there were many members of my village who were helpful. Foremost, I would like to thank my supervisor Andrew Clement. Andrew has been a collaborator, coach, and mentor throughout my doctoral degree. Andrew has taught me much about the work of a public intellectual. My committee members Matt Ratto and Megan Boler were also highly supportive of my project. They asked critical questions at key points that helped me to develop my work. Outside of my committee, professors Gale Moore, Leslie Shade, Cara Krmpotich and Lynne Howarth assisted me to towards the end-goal of completing my degree. A number of PhD students (or recent graduates) have provided assistance during my degree. Brenda McPhail, Joseph Ferenbok, Adam Fiser, Lisa Quirke, Diane Dechief, Tamara Shepherd, Alison Harvey, Terry Costantino, Lysanne Lessard and numerous others have been part of the process and demonstrated interest in this work. I am fortunate that my colleagues double as friends, they were willing to proofread work, provide feedback and debrief with me as the research unfolded. Personally, I was also supported by my family and friends. My parents Sid and Linda Smith and my brother Greg and his partner Jordan Hale supported me throughout the PhD process. In particular, I would like to thank my mother Linda, who proofread early drafts of this work when iv my eyes were bleary. Close friends Jen King and Adrian Ishak ensured that I continued to have a life outside of academia! Adrian was enthusiastic to take vacations to my conference destinations. Jen went as far as to cook me a pancake breakfast before my defence, only two days before she gave birth to her son. I will now turn to some administrative matters in my acknowledgements. As a PhD student, I was fortunate to receive funding from the Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada as well as support from the Faculty of Information at the University of Toronto. I am greatly appreciative of the funding that made my doctoral education and research possible. As a final acknowledgement, I used a variety of images in this dissertation including images I created myself, photos shared on the web under Creative Commons licences, screen shots of websites and images from reports. Within the context of this dissertation I analyze the images produced by others to conduct criticism and review as a component of my scholarly research.

    The Cape Breton Post: Editorial | Apology policy goes sour Page 1 of 2 EDITORIAL Post a comment | View comments (1) | Last updated at 11:52 PM on 10/08/08 Apology policy goes sour The Cape Breton Post The bloom has faded from the rose of apology for Canada’s prime minister. The highlight came on June 11 when Stephen Harper, with a catch in his voice, delivered in the House of Commons the Statement of Apology on behalf of Canada to aboriginal victims of residential schools. That set a new benchmark for official contrition, never to be surpassed. What’s more, the statement came as part of a process that also established an Indian Residential Schools Truth and Reconciliation Commission as part of $2 billion settlement reached among government, churches and representatives of some 90,000 former students. As a gesture of redress, all this would be a hard act to follow, and that’s a big problem with it in the view of anti-apologists. Critics such as The Globe and Mail’s Jeffrey Simpson, who refers derisively to “the apology industry,” don’t deny that aboriginal people have suffered grievously through government policy and that terrible wrongs were committed in the residential school system. But they hold to the view of a former prime minister, Pierre Trudeau, who believed we can be just only in our own time and official apologies for historic wrongs open the door to endless demands to acknowledge group grievances of the past. By this view, the problem with apologies is well illustrated in Harper’s experience the weekend before last when he delivered an apology to an Indo-Canadian audience in Surrey, B.C., on behalf of Parliament for Canada’s behaviour in the Komagata Maru incident of 1914.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 rM£ S£S F 20 ABSTRACT Strategic Scarcity: The Origins and Impact of Environmental Conflict Ideas Elizabeth Hartmann This thesis examines the origins and impact of environmental conflict ideas. It focuses on the work of Canadian political scientist Thomas Homer-Dixon, whose model of environmental conflict achieved considerable prominence in U.S. foreign policy circles in the 1990s. The thesis argues that this success was due in part to widely shared neo-Malthusian assumptions about the Third World, and to the support of private foundations and policymakers with a strategic interest in promoting these views. It analyzes how population control became an important feature of American foreign policy and environmentalism in the post-World War Two period. It then describes the role of the "degradation narrative" — the belief that population pressures and poverty precipitate environmental degradation, migration, and violent conflict — in the development of the environment and security field.

First, a huge thank you to the more than two hundred and twenty five people from the radio and political worlds who graciously took time from their busy schedules to answer my questions. Some of them put up with repeated follow ups and nagging emails as I tried to develop an understanding of the business and its political implications. They allowed me to keep most things on the record, and provided me with an understanding that simply would not have been possible without their participation. When I began this project, I never imagined that I would interview anywhere near this many people, but now, almost five years later, I cannot imagine the project without the information gleaned from these invaluable interviews. I have been fortunate enough to receive fellowships from the Fox Leadership Program at the University of Pennsylvania and the Corcoran Department of History at the University of Virginia, which made it far easier to complete this dissertation. I am grateful to be a part of the Fox family, both because of the great work that the program does, but also because of the terrific people who work at Fox.

  • This Paper Seeks to Expand the Scope of These Two Seemingly Separate
    Provincial-International Relations: Exploring the International Involvement of the Ontario Legislature Natalie Tutunzis, Ontario Legislature Internship Programme This paper seeks to explore the international involvement, or the international relations, of the Ontario Legislature. It will be shown that local parliamentarians, as exemplified by the involvement of the Ontario Legislature, have important roles to play internationally. Not only do provincial-international relations exist at the legislative level, but they occur quite frequently and in a diverse manner of ways. The paper will outline and describe such relations as they occur between the Ontario Legislature and foreign legislatures or other bodies, as exemplified through the Legislature’s involvement in interparliamentary organizations and delegations, as well as through the pursuit of international initiatives advanced by members, Officers, and affiliates of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario. In addition to describing the actions that have and are currently taking place, the paper will begin a discussion about the general purposes of such international relations at the provincial parliamentary level, as well as discuss their perceived effectiveness. It will be argued that these relations have distinct purposes, which have, in many cases, achieved positive results. While literature on provincial-international legislative relations does exist, it is still remains quite sparse. However, the limited background that does exists on the matter nonetheless points to how frequently such relations occur, their significance, and even more so, how worthy they are of further exploration. Overall, this paper attempts to expand on the existing literature by providing an up-to-date account of the international involvement of provincial parliaments, using the Ontario Legislature as its case study.

  • The Historian-Filmmaker's Dilemma: Historical Documentaries in Sweden in the Era of Häger and Villius
    ACTA UNIVERSITATIS UPSALIENSIS Studia Historica Upsaliensia 210 Utgivna av Historiska institutionen vid Uppsala universitet genom Torkel Jansson, Jan Lindegren och Maria Ågren 1 2 David Ludvigsson The Historian-Filmmaker’s Dilemma Historical Documentaries in Sweden in the Era of Häger and Villius 3 Dissertation in History for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy presented at Uppsala University in 2003 ABSTRACT Ludvigsson, David, 2003: The Historian-Filmmaker’s Dilemma. Historical Documentaries in Sweden in the Era of Häger and Villius. Written in English. Acta Universitatis Upsalien- sis. Studia Historica Upsaliensia 210. (411 pages). Uppsala 2003. ISSN 0081-6531. ISBN 91-554-5782-7. This dissertation investigates how history is used in historical documentary films, and ar- gues that the maker of such films constantly negotiates between cognitive, moral, and aes- thetic demands. In support of this contention a number of historical documentaries by Swedish historian-filmmakers Olle Häger and Hans Villius are discussed. Other historical documentaries supply additional examples. The analyses take into account both the produc- tion process and the representations themselves. The history culture and the social field of history production together form the conceptual framework for the study, and one of the aims is to analyse the role of professional historians in public life. The analyses show that different considerations compete and work together in the case of all documentaries, and figure at all stages of pre-production, production, and post-produc- tion. But different considerations have particular inuence at different stages in the produc- tion process and thus they are more or less important depending on where in the process the producer puts his emphasis on them.
