Commissioning ideas

"In addition to examining Canadian policy innovation from the Great Depression to the present, Professor Bradford provides a comparative perspective by surveying developments in Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States, where social interests, political parties, and the executive, respectively, have been central to policy change. The book concludes with a call for a 'Fourth National Policy', with sustainable full employment as its central feature and increased research funding for political parties and proportional electoral representation as important factors for its realization."--BOOK JACKET.
