Ethical Policy Analysis in an Age of Risk, Uncertainty, and Futurity [microform]

Once dominated by approaches based on positivist assumptions, the field of policy analysis has diversified in recent times. Policy analysis now includes numerous perspectives on the processes of policy formulation, implementation, and evaluation. Many of these approaches derive from self-consciously defined schools of ethics. This dissertation surveys three generalized approaches to ethical policy analysis and evaluates them in light of moral dilemmas arising in the case of nuclear waste management policy in Canada. Its central argument is that an adequate approach to ethical policy analysis contains the philosophical tools necessary to address the moral problems of defining risk and understanding safety, identifying obligations to both existing and future generations, and conceptualizing legitimacy-conferring policy processes. Neither welfare utilitarianism nor modern deontology is sufficiently equipped, each containing philosophical elements of the good that beg further determination in actual policy contexts. Only the deliberative/discursive approach contains convincing conceptions of justice and the good, as well as a convincing conception of legitimacy, that provide for the justifiable resolution of debates about the moral foundations of public policy. Responding to challenges in the case of nuclear waste management in ways more comprehensive and more justifiable than both utilitarianism and deontology, discursive policy analysis promises to be an effective approach in other cases associated with risk, uncertainty, and futurity.

Race, racialization, and antiracism in Canada and beyond

This multidisciplinary volume brings together scholars and activists to examine expressions of racism in contemporary policy areas, including education, labour, immigration, media, and urban planning. While anti-racist struggles during the twentieth century were largely pitched against overt forms of racism (e.g., pogroms, genocide, segregation, apartheid, and 'ethnic cleansing'), it has become increasingly apparent that there are other, less visible, forms of racism. These subtler incarnations are of special interest to the contributors.The intent ofRace, Racialization, and Antiracism in Canada and Beyondis to probe systemic forms of racism, as well as to suggest strategies for addressing them. The collection is organized by themes pertinent to political and social expressions of racism in Canada and the wider world, such as the state and its mediation of race, education and the perpetuation of racist marginalization, and the role of the media. The contributors argue that, in order to effectively combat racism, various methodological approaches are required, approaches that are reflective of the diversity of the world we seek to understand.

Deliberative Democracy for the Future

The theory of deliberative democracy promotes the creation of systems of governance in which citizens actively exchange ideas, engage in debate, and create laws that are responsive to their interests and aspirations. While deliberative processes are being adopted in an increasing number of cases, decision-making power remains mostly in the hands of traditional elites. In Democratic Illusion, Genevieve Fuji Johnson examines four representative examples: participatory budgeting in the Toronto Community Housing Corporation, Deliberative Polling by Nova Scotia Power Incorporated, a national consultation process by the Canadian Nuclear Waste Management Organization, and public consultations embedded in the development of official languages policies in Nunavut. In each case, measures that appeared to empower the public failed to challenge the status quo approach to either formulating or implementing policy. Illuminating a critical gap between deliberative democratic theory and its applications, this timely and important study shows what needs to be done to ensure deliberative processes offer more than the illusion of democracy.
