Overview

“This is an extremely sensitive and thorough analysis of a major Canadian program in a vital policy area of regional and global interest as well as of national interest. It also offers creative and valuable synthesis in that it connects two important and excessively walled-off subfields—organization theory and public policy analysis. The book is a rare demonstration of how theoretical sophistication and the mastery of case intricacies can be joined.”—Allan Lerner, University of Illinois at Chicago

Synopsis

Drawing upon evidence from recent experiments in energy policy making in Canada, this book explores the strategic consequences of bureaucratic change, focussing on the technical and political roles of bureaucrats in determining large-scale policy outcomes.
