The local state in Canada: theoretical perspectives

Studies of government at the local level tend to be focused on the municipalities. To understand the full range of institutions at this level, a broader conception of the “local state” is required. The latter refers to the state in so far as it is present in and concerned with the local community, and thus it encompasses local agencies of the central state as well as local governments. To conceive of the local state in this way allows for a critical assessment of competing theories of local government in Canada. The latter describe local institutions variously as the third order of government, agencies for special purposes, the local public economy, or local apparatuses of the state. All but the first draw attention to non-municipal agencies at the local level, but none give an adequate account of the structure and functions of the local state as a whole. What is required is a theory that takes the pressure for local self-government seriously, and is sensitive to both geographical variation and historical change.

政治教育：从灌输走向对话

政治教育是教育者根据统治阶级和受教育者的需要,有目的、有计划地传递政治文化以形成和发展受教育者的政治素质,进而促进政治文明的社会实践活动。灌输是传统和现实政治教育的典型实践形态。随着社会的发展,灌输已越来越不适应现代公民政治教育的需要,政治教育的实践形态应实现从灌输向对话的转变。     

The state must compete: Optimal pricing of legal cannabis

We examine the socially optimal pricing strategy for the legal cannabis industry that faces significant competition from an illicit market. We explore the impact of different preferences for legal and illicit cannabis using a constant elasticity of substitution utility function. We find that under a range of policy objectives and other circumstances, the socially optimal pricing strategy is for the legal market price to be dramatically lower than the illicit market price. This contradicts the approach taken across Canada in the year since legalization. These findings suggest that governments should adopt policies to reduce the price of legal cannabis.     

The state of Ontario's municipal performance reports: A critical analysis

Abstract: Focus on results and accountability in public performance management is now firmly entrenched. Governments around the world, at all levels, have invested significant time and resources into measuring and reporting performance, with very mixed results. In 2000, Ontario became the first state or province in North America to mandate a municipal performance measurement program for all municipalities. One measure of the system's effectiveness is the documentation produced to show citizens how their government is doing – in this case, an annual performance report. Although the legislation is clear in terms of measurements and some reporting standards, there are clear differences in the overall quality of the annual reports produced by each of the 445 municipalities. This article will focus on the reports as the primary communication tool between the municipalities and citizens. The primary question that frames this research is the current quality of municipal performance reports in Ontario.     

Ministers of state to assist: weighing the costs and the benefits

Abstract: In 1970 the Ministries and Ministers of State Act established two kinds of ministers of state: the first presides over a Ministry of State, the second is specifically assigned to assist an existing minister or ministers in carrying out their statutory duties, This article examines some of the problems associated with the use of ministers of state to assist in the Canadian federal government. It lays out the models of government organization that have evolved with the adoption and increasing use of this type of minister. It then proceeds to set out some of the problems which can arise in the relations between the relatively junior ministers of state to assist, the senior minister, the departmental officials and the client groups. The present use made of many of these ministers of state is seen in the context of attempting to have one's cake and eat it too! That is, to have the necessary bargaining, accommodation and coordination take place within the bureaucracy while at the same time seeking to increase political control. In the face of mounting temptation to employ ministers of state to assist, it is posited that more thought be given to granting them greater authority over resources through legislation. This likely would entail modifications to the Ministers of State Act. In the absence of such measures, greater attention should be paid to the mandate, location and designated clientele of these ministers; in particular, the expectations that these relatively junior ministers can be employed as effective agents of interdepartmental policy coordination should be dispensed with. Finally, it is suggested that those officials working with the minister of state to assist ought to be given the greatest amount of autonomy possible from the hierarchy of the department in order to ensure adequate accountability to the junior minister.
