“…In a second phase, we conducted 13 interviews with 8 candidates (victorious or not), 1 local candidate campaign manager, and 4 party election committee members. The purpose of these interviews was to gather factual information about these individuals' experiences, their role during the 2017 campaign, and information on the Universe of meaning surrounding the campaign (Pinson and Sala Pala, 2007). The interviews were processed using NVivo12, whose door to door "nodes" support the analysis presented here.…”

Electoral campaigns are one of the key moments in political life. Yet, there is little Canadian work on this subject when it comes to municipal elections. However, the international literature on campaigning provides an opportunity for useful questions on the transformations of this aspect of local political life by bringing together political sociology and electoral sociology. That being said in this context, we present the results of an exploratory case study of campaigning in a municipal political party in a Canadian city, more specifically situated in the Province of Quebec. Municipal political parties are usually considered as electoral machines. It is therefore important to study in detail the way these organizations conduct election campaigns. More specifically, we are looking to explore how municipal political parties influence the campaign by providing electoral techniques. To achieve this, we closely examine the door to door canvassing strategy, which hints at what the party considers a “good campaigning” standard and helps us observe the behaviours of candidates and the different ways they fulfill the party’s requirements. It is therefore not a question of measuring the effectiveness of partisan electoral devices but of understanding how the party produces campaigning norms and puts them to work. The results presented here offer an original insight into the internal workings of a municipal political party—something that has never before been documented in the Canadian context. First, they help to open the black box that is municipal political parties and to better understand their internal modus operandi. Second, the results illustrate that election campaigning is still fundamentally based on one-on-one encounters.

“…The survey protocol was part of a diachronic perspective based on both the retrospective dimension of participants' accounts and our “informative and narrative” use of the discussions ( Pinson 2007 ). The strategy for conducting and analyzing the interviews was based on the “life stories” methodology ( Bertaux 1997 ) and on systematically cross-checking the various discussions and comparing them to the written information to ensure that the researchers would have the critical distance required from the subjective views of each interviewee ( Friedberg 1997 ).…”

Objective: This research looks back at a 10-year period (2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012)(2013)(2014) to understand the development and outlook for healthcare organization performance measurement in the Quebec healthcare system, in an attempt to objectivize relationships within the configuration of its principal institutional actors. Methods: This is a qualitative study combining the use of official publications and fieldwork based on 13 semi-directed interviews, conducted in 2014, with informers in key performance measurement positions within the Quebec healthcare system. Results: Performance measurement has generated tensions, both internally between different branches of the Department of Health and externally against a strong coalition of external HEALTHCARE POLICY Vol.11 No.4, 2016 [61]The Search is on for Coherent Performance Measurement in Healthcare Organizations.Has Quebec Reached a Crossroads?institutional actors, which were defending a shared homogeneous vision of performance. Four major types of political power plays, owing to the power struggles around performance models and indicators, converged around the same implicit issue of the need to attain greater legitimacy in order to impose an authoritative frame of reference. RésuméObjectif : Cette recherche se penche sur une période de 10 ans (2004-2014) afin de comprendre le développement et le panorama de l'évaluation de la performance des organismes dans le système de santé québécois, et ce, pour tenter d' objectiviser les relations dans la configuration des principaux acteurs institutionnels. Méthodes : Il s' agit d' une étude qualitative qui combine l' utilisation de publications officielles et le travail de terrain, à l' aide de 13 entrevues semi-dirigées menées en 2014 auprès d'informateurs qui oeuvrent dans des postes clés de l'évaluation de la performance au sein du système québécois de la santé. Résultats : L'évaluation de la performance a créé des tensions tant à l'interne, entre diverses directions générales du ministère de la Santé, qu'à l' externe, face à une forte coalition d' acteurs institutionnels en faveur d' une vision homogène et commune de la performance. Quatre principaux types de jeux de pouvoir politique, causés par les luttes de pouvoir quant aux modèles et indicateurs de la performance, convergent vers le même enjeu implicite, soit l' atteinte d' une plus grande légitimité afin d'imposer un cadre de référence qui fasse autorité.

“…-choix de se limiter à des mères de bébés prématurés ayant une indication de rééducation, pour étudier ainsi les suivis d'enfants jugés les plus à risque, même si cela exclu de fait des familles qui auraient refusées ce type de soin. Matériellement, ce choix a entrainé le recrutement des mères enquêtées au sein des deux cabinets de rééducation pédiatrique de la ville (listés par le réseau de périnatalité régional, ils ont été pensés comme intermédiaires efficaces pour rencontrer ces populations dans un temps contraint) -sans nombre préétabli, laissant libre cours à l'apparition de l'effet de saturation autour de certains points redondants [25].…”
