Résumé
Cet article fait état des principaux résultats d’un projet de recherche entrepris par un vaste groupe d’universitaires au cours des sept dernières années. L’équipe a centré ses travaux sur la manière dont les négociations intergouvernementales produisent des politiques dans les municipalités canadiennes et sur le rôle des « forces sociales » dans le processus d’élaboration des politiques. L’étude s’intéresse en particulier aux administrations municipales, à la fois en tant que participants au cycle des relations intergouvernementales et en tant que pôles d’échanges des réseaux locaux des forces sociales. De façon générale, les fruits de cette recherche dressent un tableau détaillé de la gouvernance multiniveau au Canada. Les résultats publiés ici sont liés aux questions de reddition de comptes et d’efficacité. Après une brève introduction, ces thèmes sont abordés dans l’ordre. En conclusion, il est question de résultats généraux sur la gouvernance multiniveau au Canada et de la posture des administrations municipales dans le système politique canadien.
Abstract
This article reports some of the principal findings from a research project undertaken by a large group of scholars over the past seven years. Our focus was on how intergovernmental negotiations produce policy in Canadian municipalities, and on the role of ‘social forces’ in the policy making process. We have been particularly interested in municipal governments, both as participants in intergovernmental relations and as hubs of networks of local social forces. Our results, overall, paint a thorough picture of multilevel governance in Canada. Here, I have selected findings that bear on questions of accountability and effectiveness. After a brief introduction, and an account of the research, these themes are taken up in turn. I conclude with general findings about multilevel governance in Canada and about the position of municipal governments in the Canadian system.
