?Critical Policy Studies is, quite simply, a breath of fresh air. It is a timely intervention into the study of public policy in Canada that covers important substantive ground and raises critical questions about the boundaries of policy studies as a field. This book will excite undergraduate and graduate students and stimulate new approaches to the study of public policy in Canada.? ? Leah Vosko, editor of ""Precarious Employment: Understanding Labour Market Insecurity in Canada"" ?Critical Policy Studies conveys a clear sense that there is much anew and exciting in the field of policy analysis in Canada. It will occupy a significant place in the discipline, opening up new avenues for scholars and policy-makers, and offering a distinctive and enlightening perspective for political science students.? ? Alain No?l, editor of ""Federalism and Labour Market Policy: Comparing Different Governance and Employment Strategies""
