Health Policy in Canada

"The strengths of the book are its targeting of a Canadian health care policy audience and its emphasis on using case studies of actual policies to illustrate the various theoretical perspectives. The focus on the relationship between health and social welfare is also a strength." —Paula Goering, Section Head, Centre for Addiction and Mental Health

"Dr. Bryant's excellent third edition of Health Policy in Canada makes a significant contribution to both the understanding of the broad fields of public policy and health policy and the narrower focus on Canadian health policy. The book provides a coherent analysis of Canada's complex yet often fragmented health policy landscape and health system. It integrates theory and practice, reviews both historical developments and current challenges, and presents diverse perspectives grounded in their philosophical and methodological traditions. It achieves all of this with clear and accessible language while maintaining strong scholarly rigour. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in health policy, particularly those seeking a deeper understanding of the Canadian context." —Wenjue Knutsen, Associate Professor, Smith School of Business and School of Policy Studies, Queen's University
