“…L'action du gouvernement sur ce front est ici doublement stratégique. Par son pouvoir prescriptif (Lemieux, 2001), il accorde aux municipalités des pouvoirs additionnels leur permettant de mieux contrôler les coûts associés aux conventions collectives (ressources humaines) et, par son habileté à obtenir l'appui (ressources relationnelles) des maires des grandes villes, il fait de ces derniers des acteurs-médiateurs clés de sa réforme de la gouvernance régionale 17 . Il convient donc de revenir sur cet accord qui contient plusieurs engagements dont la concrétisation, sous la forme de lois, pourrait avoir un impact déterminant sur la gouvernance à venir du secteur local et régional.…”

À l’aide des notions de référentiel, d’acteur-médiateur et de ressource, ce texte montre que la redéfinition de la gouvernance municipale et territoriale québécoise au cours de la période 2000-2016 découle de trois facteurs principaux : l’accentuation du référentiel de redressement des finances publiques; les efforts de mise en cohérence du secteur municipal avec les normes socioéconomiques qui caractérisent ce référentiel; l’impact des changements ainsi apportés sur la structuration du secteur et le positionnement des acteurs sociaux. Si l’étude montre que l’analyse par les référentiels s’avère pertinente pour comprendre la transformation des politiques publiques, il ressort aussi que les changements de gouvernement, le temps et les stratégies des acteurs jouent un rôle.Using the notions of policy framework, actor-mediator and resource, this text shows that the redefinition of municipal and territorial governance in Quebec during the period 2000-2016 stems from three main factors : the strengthening of policy framework for the restoration of public finances; efforts to bring the municipal sector into line with the socio-economic norms that characterize this policy framework; the impact of these changes in the structure of the sector and the positioning of social actors. If the study shows that policy framework analysis is relevant to understanding the transformation of public policy, it is also clear that changes in government, time, and actors strategies play a role.En base a las nociones de referencial, actor-mediador y recurso, el texto muestra que la redefinición de la gobernanza municipal y territorial quebequense en el periodo 2000-2016 proviene de tres factores principales: la acentuación del referencial saneamiento de las finanzas públicas; los esfuerzos de coherencia entre el sector municipal y las normas socioeconómicas que caracterizan este referencial; el impacto de los cambios aportados en la estructuración del sector y el posicionamiento de los actores sociales. El estudio muestra, por un lado, la pertinencia del análisis basado en referenciales para comprender la transformación de las políticas públicas, y por otro, el papel que juegan los cambios de gobierno, el tiempo y las estrategias de los actores

“…The former maintains the implementation of public policy within departments, whereas the latter allocates that function to a relatively independent institution (Lemieux, 1986). Both can involve functional and/or territorial considerations (Lemieux, 2001). To handle linguistic conflicts, New Brunswick's Department of Education implemented a functional deconcentration, without resorting to territorial considerations, when it established administrative duality from the deputy minister on down, in 1981: There is a Francophone division and an Anglophone division under respective deputy ministers within the same Department of Education.…”

Substate administrative institutions such as municipalities, hospital boards, and school districts may help resolve conflicts between minority and majority groups, particularly where a minority forms a majority in a substate territory. Minorities can use substate institutions to counter majority rule exercised through statewide political institutions. Minorities seek control over substate institutions to legitimize nationalist claims over crucial public functions and space and to support identity projects. The present case study, in a Canadian urban area, explains the rise of administrative nationalism and raises theoretical, practical, and empirical questions that summon scholars of nationalism and public administration.

“…What they have in common is what interests the World Bank, rather than what interests scholars of politics: they shrink the central state. Not many political scientists have tried to use a framework that juxtaposes such different phenomena and when one did, the results were predictably abstract and banal (Lemieux 2001).…”

Health policy and territorial politics: disciplinary misunderstandings and directions for research

Handbook of Territorial Politics

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The territorial politics of health is both underexploited by mainstream political scientists and the subject of a large and distinctive health policy literature that rarely connects with political science. This chapter first argues for the usefulness of health as a source of data for a more grounded and policy-focused territorial politics. It then summarizes the health policy approach to territorial politics, arguing that its empirical findings, more than its theories, can enrich political science on the topic. Subsequently, it turns to the findings of political scientists, highlighting the extent to which comparative welfare state literature is skeptical about federalism and could handle it much better, and the extent to which the literature about federalism and health is mostly nationally specific and overrepresents North American experiences. The last sections turn to some findings for comparative territorial politics from health policy studies, and some potential future directions for research. Health policy is both an important and a frustrating topic for research in territorial politics. It is important because in many countries it is, along with education, one of the most important expenditure items for local and regional government. To write about states in Brazil or the U.S., regions in Italy or Spain, or devolved authorities in the UK without writing about health is to ignore a huge part of what they do and what their politicians must think about. Furthermore, study of health and territorial politics could shed light on some of the knottiest problems in comparative politics. For territorial politics scholars, understanding health better would mean not just understanding one of the most important areas of public expenditure, but also would shed light on the kinds of variation that are common in decentralized states but obscured by a focus on legislation. Such variation happens, and matters, in organization, budgeting, staffing, and priorities within the public sector. Studying health also opens up new empirical approaches to problems in territorial politics such as the challenges of multi-level coordination and the diffusion of ideas and learning. For scholars in social policy and comparative political economy, understanding health care and policy better would free them from a tendency to focus on pensions and unemployment insurance as representations of the whole welfare state (e.g.(Esping-Andersen 1990, Hicks 1999) and come to grips with the complexity and complex knowledge politics that characterize the modern state (Jasanoff 2004a). Health is also a frustrating topic, particularly for comparative research. Compared to other policy areas, part of the problem is that it is so difficult to characterize programs or understand causality. For example, we can calculate expenditure on unemployment or pensions by multiplying unemployment pay or pensions by the number of people legally entitled to them. In health, calculating need, desires, expenditure, or entitlement is very difficult. If everybody is essenti...
