This open access publication offers a salient mix of examples of successful public policy in Canada over the past few decades. All cases have been written by leading experts in their respective field and are highly suitable to classroom use.

Each case offers a powerful story about governments getting things right most of the time, and presents an instance of actors, institutions and processes of public policy-making coalescing to positive effect that can be dissected and debated. The suite of cases presented will allow policy researchers multiple lines of comparative, pattern-finding and process-tracing inquiry.
