Could social policy have been maintained while still achieving economic growth?
Yes, social policy could have been maintained while still achieving economic growth. By implementing policies that support both social welfare and economic development, such as investing in education and healthcare, providing social safety nets, and promoting inclusive economic growth, a balance can be achieved. This approach can lead to a more equitable distribution of resources and opportunities, ultimately benefiting both the society and the economy. It is possible to prioritize social policy while also fostering economic growth through thoughtful and strategic policymaking.

Mediating Innovation Policy Delivery : The Regional Innovation Centres of Ontario
Report cards and academic scholarship have been critical of innovation policy in Canada.But what if these reports have done a profound injustice to the story of knowledge-driven economic reinvention and the actual transformation taking place in the country?Spotlighting what is happening in cities and regions across Ontario, Mediating Innovation Policy Delivery argues that it is far more nuanced and exciting than what has been captured in scorecards and report cards.The book explores the intermediary institutions, the organizational brokers at the frontline of Canada’s innovation race, that are shepherding the process of economic reinvention in regions large and small. The book draws on case studies to explore three central themes.The first is about innovation, innovation policy, and their delivery systems.The second is that of regions as the frontlines of technological and socioeconomic change in the Canadian federation.The third covers the role of intermediary institutions as innovation platforms, highlighting their triumphs and tribulations as they strategically navigate through the shifting currents of change.The book’s main lessons apply not just to Ontario and Canada but also to other industrialized democracies worldwide.Ultimately, the book advances our knowledge of organizational instruments of innovation policy delivery that operate at the strategic interface between the state, market, and society.

Rural Sustainability : A Complex Systems Approach to Policy Analysis
This volume applies the science of complexity to study coupled human-environment systems (CHES) and integrates ideas from the social sciences of climate change into a study of rural development amid flooding and urbanization in the Poyang Lake Region (PLR) of China.Author Qing Tian operationalizes the concept of sustainability and provides useful scientific analyses for sustainable development in less developed rural areas that are vulnerable to climatic hazards. The book uses a new sustainability framework that is centered on the concept of well-being to study rural development in PLR.The PLR study includes three major analyses: (1) a regional assessment of human well-being; (2) an empirical analysis of rural livelihoods; and (3) an agent-based computer model used to explore future rural development.These analyses provide a meaningful view of human development in the Poyang Lake Region and illustrate some of the complex local- and macro-level processes that shape the livelihoods of rural households in the dynamic process of urbanization.They generate useful insights about how government policy might effectively improve the well-being of rural households and promote sustainable development amid social, economic, and environmental changes. This case study has broader implications. Rural populations in the developing world are disproportionally affected by extreme climate events and climate change.Furthermore, the livelihoods of rural households in the developing world are increasingly under the influences of macro-level forces amid urbanization and globalization.This case study demonstrates that rural development policies must consider broader development dynamics at the national (and even global) level, as well as specific local social and environmental contexts.By treating climate as one of many factors that affect development in such places, we can provide policy recommendations that synergistically promotedevelopment and reduce climatic impacts and therefore facilitate mainstreaming climate adaptation into development.
