MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR |
|
Dear readers,
On behalf of the Centre on Governance’s team, I would like to begin by wishing you a happy new year. Despite the pandemic, we are constantly adapting to maintain our level of research and knowledge mobilization activities. Despite the constraints, we remain focused on our mission and objectives of research production and knowledge Mvalorization in the field of public governance. In 2022, the development of internal and external partnerships, the organization of scientific events, the publication of knowledge via our academic journals, working papers or multimedia productions, professional training, and the support and engagement of graduate students will remain our main "resolutions". The year 2022 also marks a very special anniversary. The Centre on Governance was created in 1997 by Professor Gilles Paquette (who passed a few years ago). The Centre is therefore 25 years old this year. We will mark this achievement with a series of initiatives that will serve to recall its history but also to take stock of the concept, theories and current practices associated with the notion of public governance. These initiatives will be announced a little later. I, therefore, invite you to stay connected with us through our preferred media channels (newsletter, Twitter or Linkedin). I look forward to welcoming you and seeing you at these events.

One of the axes of the knowledge mobilization plan of the Center on Governance (CoG) targets professional development. As a research centre, it is our responsibility to support organizations in the public, private and non-profit sectors in the search for innovative approaches to governance. To do this, the CoG collaborates with the Professional Development Institute to improve the offer of courses in the field of governance and public administration. The Public Governance Series is developed by the Professional Development Institute of the University of Ottawa in collaboration with the Center on Governance to support the professional development of employees in the public and parapublic sector in Canada and across the world. By mixing university research and professional development, we wish to design a space for exchanges between academics and public administration professionals in order to create a vehicle for the mobilization of academic knowledge.
The following courses are currently offered:
(In French only; asynchronous online course)
(in French only; synchronous distance education)

Congratulations to Luc Bernier, Daniel Latouche and Geneviève Tellier for receiving the Connections Grant from SSHRC for their project entitled:
"La notion de "province-building": nouvelles perspectives sur un vieux débat"
|
|
Congratulations to Anne Mévellec for receiving the Partnership Grant from SSHRC for her project entitled
"Young elected municipal officials in Quebec: profiles, paths and challenges"
|
|
The project is a partnership that brings together the principal researcher and the UMQ. The scientific expertise of Anne Mévellec, a specialist in the sociology of elected municipal officials, will be supported by two graduate students and the University of Ottawa’s Centre on Governance. For its part, the UMQ, and particularly the Youth Commission, will commit its human resources throughout the project: in the process of co-construction of the questionnaire, in the administration of the latter to its members, in the initial processing of the responses, in the more detailed analyses and finally in the valorization of the results. The results of this research will be used to inform the UMQ's reflection on its youth policies, whether they target the recruitment or training of young, elected officials. They will also be disseminated in several forums made available by the UMQ (annual conference, Urba magazine and social media). In addition, the results will be disseminated in the academic sphere by the researcher and the students.

Congratulations to Eric Champagne and Aracelly Denise Granja for publishing an article entitled:
"Public investment in times of crisis: the case of Canada"
|
|
This article analyzes how governments are using public investments as a tool to deal with a major socio-economic crisis. It compares Canada’s response to the global economic crisis of 2008-2010 and that of 2020-2021. This text shows that the federal government’s public investment strategy was relatively conventional in 2008-2010 but that the 2020-21 recovery plan seems to be moving towards a more ambitious and transformational vision on the social and environmental.
