{"title":"Third-Party Rivalry and the Green Vote in the 2019 Federal Election","authors":"Cara Camcastle","doi":"10.24124/c677/20221875","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.24124/c677/20221875","url":null,"abstract":"AbstractThe Green Party of Canada (GPC) did not elect new candidates in BC in the 2019 federal election even though climate change was an important issue to voters. This paper uses survey results from the 2019 Canadian Election Study, including a module designed by the author and interviews with GPC candidates. GPC’s third-party rival, the New Democratic Party (NDP), gave a false impression that GPC members were as socially and fiscally conservative as some members of the Conservative Party of Canada (CPC). The author’s module shows women are more fearful than men that women’s right to have an abortion could be challenged if party discipline were relaxed. Though it would be highly unlikely for a GPC candidate or MP to hold an anti-abortion position, the NDP planted seeds of doubt in the minds of young female voters who tended to be the ones more likely to consider voting Green.RésuméLe Parti vert du Canada (PVC) n’a pas élu de nouveaux candidats en Colombie Britannique à l’élection fédérale de 2019, même si le changement climatique était un enjeu majeur pour les électeurs. Ce document utilise les résultats du sondage de l’Étude électorale canadienne de 2019, incluant un module créé par l’autrice et des entrevues avec les candidats du PVC. Le Nouveau Parti démocratique (NPD), qui rivalise le PVC pour devenir le plus important des tiers partis à la Chambre des communes, a donné la fausse impression que les membres du PVC étaient aussi conservateurs, sur les plans sociaux et financiers, que certains membres du Parti Conservateur du Canada (PCC). Le module de l’autrice démontre que les femmes craignent plus que les hommes que le droit des femmes à l'avortement puisse être remis en cause si la discipline du parti était assouplie. Bien qu’il soit très peu probable qu’un candidat ou un député du PVC présente une position contre l'avortement, le NPD a semé des graines de doute dans l’esprit des jeunes électrices qui ont tendance à être celles qui sont le plus susceptibles à voter pour le Parti vert.Key Word: 2019 federal election, Green Party of Canada (GPC), Green Party of Canada election campaign in British Columbia (BC), Maurice Pinard’s theory on political openings for third partiesMots-clés : élections fédérales Canadiennes de 2019, la théorie de Maurice Pinard concernant la percée des tiers partis, campagne électorale du Parti verte de Canada (PVC) en Colombie-Britannique (CB)","PeriodicalId":42225,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Political Science Review","volume":"578 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136156291","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"From Tinkering to Transformation: Gradual Institutional Change in New Brunswick’s Local Governance System","authors":"Jon Isaac Taylor","doi":"10.24124/c677/20221841","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.24124/c677/20221841","url":null,"abstract":"This article situates the history of local governance reform in New Brunswick in the debate between two theoretical traditions in historical institutionalism: critical juncture analysis and gradual institutional change. While New Brunswick appears to be a case of punctuated equilibrium followed by a half century of stagnation, the local governance system is a case of gradual institutional change dominated by layering. Drawing on Mahoney and Thelen’s theory of gradual institutional change and Tsebelis’ theory of veto players, this paper identifies the relevant change agents and tracks their influence through four prominent reform episodes since the 1970s.Cet article situe l'histoire de la réforme de la gouvernance locale au Nouveau-Brunswick dans le débat entre deux traditions théoriques de l'institutionnalisme historique : l'analyse de la conjoncture critique et le changement institutionnel graduel. Alors que le Nouveau-Brunswick semble être un cas d'équilibre ponctué suivi d'un demi-siècle de stagnation, le système de gouvernance locale est un cas de changement institutionnel graduel dominé par la stratification. En s'appuyant sur la théorie du changement institutionnel graduel de Mahoney et Thelen et sur la théorie des joueurs à veto de Tsebelis, cet article identifie les agents de changement pertinents et suit leur influence à travers quatre épisodes de réforme importants depuis les années 1970.","PeriodicalId":42225,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Political Science Review","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136040039","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The new public management wave was driven by the notion of a need for improved service delivery to the population. A number of authors, including Metcalfe, pointed out that the government was then neglecting management in favour of \"policy advice.\" It was fashionable to show interest in policy but not in management. After decades spent seeking greater efficiency, have we gone too far in the other direction? Do governments have the capacity to develop public policy? Have those responsible for developing public policy received the training they require? This article addresses the Quebec portion of a set of Canada-wide surveys on the capacity for public policy-making. It complements the earlier analyses by presenting the results of a survey conducted among public servants in Quebec. We place particular emphasis on education and the training of the public servants who work on developing and formulating public policy.","PeriodicalId":42225,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Political Science Review","volume":"6 1","pages":"281-285"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2013-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69599735","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Next Door they have Regulation, but not here …: Assessing the Opinions of Actors in the Opaque World of Unregulated Lobbying","authors":"J. Hogan, G. Murphy, R. Chari","doi":"10.21427/D7KB7K","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.21427/D7KB7K","url":null,"abstract":"The lobbying of government by various interests is regarded as central to the democratic process. Deliberative democratic theorists tell us that the regulation of lobbying has a positive effect on political systems, and the behaviour of those within them. Yet, only four democratic systems (Canada, USA, EU and Germany) have legislation regulating lobbyists’ activities, and even this regulation is not all pervasive. Here we examine the attitudes of actors in states, provinces, and institutions in the above democracies, where no regulations exist. This ensures that the actors we deal with have knowledge of lobbying regulations, what these regulations entail, as well as the consequences of the absence of any such regulations. Our objective is to discover if these actors see benefits in the introduction of lobbying legislation, as is suggested by deliberative democratic theory.","PeriodicalId":42225,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Political Science Review","volume":"2 1","pages":"125-151"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2008-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67744712","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
