Abstract

The first edition of The Welfare State and Canadian Federalism focused on the impact of federalism on social policy during a period of economic growth and expanding social expenditures. The revised edition extends the analysis by asking how the federal syatem has shaped the social policy response to neo-conservatism, recession, and restraint. It analyses policy trends in detail; examines the implications of constitutional changes, including the Charter; and highlights the continuing role of federalism.
