In Part I, Understanding Public Policy, author Lydia Miljan introduces the key concepts, important theories, and extenuating context surrounding public policy. This sectionalso explores how politics are implemented. Part II, Policy Fields, offers extensive and thought-provoking discussion of six significant issue-areas in current Canadian policy-making: macroeconomic policy, social policy, health policy, family policy, Aboriginal policy, and environmental policy. Inthe new edition, further discussion of what governments in Canada do, why, and what the consequences are for the political, social, and economic fabric are also included.
