Change and Impact: Essays in Canadian Social Sciences is an amalgam of original articles that confront serious and important issues for Canada and Canadians. Here the works of scholars from many countries, including Canada of course, reflect on Canadian politics and public policy, the Canadian economy, environmental questions and social issues. This book benefits directly from the multiplication of Canadian Studies university programs throughout the world, from which its international scholarly character undoubtedly stems. The title of the book indicates the nature of the current Canadian condition, where movement and unfolding transformation is manifest everywhere. Hence, the discussions of significant issues, such as those included in this volume, inevitably treat the element of change, sources of those changes, as well as analyses of the impact of subsequent development. Change and Impact is a book for those schooled in the field of Canadian Studies as well as the newcomer to the discipline.
