Title
of the project: La construction de l'Union sociale en Europe et au
Canada: méthodes de coordination et indicateurs de résultats.
In this project, the researchers
will compare the Canadian and European experiences of social policy
collaboration and coordination in order to better understand new and
emerging political and administrative practices. In Canada, the dramatic
reduction of federal transfers in the 1990s undermined “national
standards” and conditional transfers, and favored a more flexible
approach, associated with collaboration and outcome indicators. This
new approach is similar to some extent to recent developments in Europe, where the Open method of coordination and
social benchmarking have become primary instruments of European social
development. In both cases, we can see a more or less explicit
evolution toward new political and administrative practices that stress
social learning and policy results rather than standards and processes.
We propose to study more systematically the theoretical, empirical and
practical implications of these parallel evolutions.

Maioni (McGill), Professor André-Pierre Contandriopoulos (Université de

Title
of the projet: Le future du modèle public en matière de santé: le
Canada et l'Europe comparés.
Current debates taking place within
the Convention on the future of Europe,
and particularly those on the integration of nations in the European
Union, question the integration of national health systems. This
involves comparing Canada,
which has one of the most decentralised federal health systems, to Europe in order to discuss the future of the
public health system model, and provide an example for the European
Union and its possible integration of national health systems.
This reflection will follow four points : 1) the foundations, the
diffusion of the public model and current pressures faced by the public
health systems 2) the specificity of the Canadian model compared to European
models 3) the utility of recent European experiences, and 4) the
continental integration in Europe and North America.
