Seminar 1 – Organized Complexity Friday, January 19th, 2018
Friday, January 12th first seminar, went over syllabus and did introductions, no notes
Organized Complexity Framework:
-Core concepts that relate to the political experience
1. Individuals – basic building blocks/constituent units of governance
2. Goods – people do things in common based on goods and services
Separated between public and private goods
Many goods and services are not just services they also involve a high degree of citizen
participation/ co-production as an important dimension of public policy
Example = Education or Health: involve a high degree of citizen participation in the
production of these services, for it to work
3. Rules – how we generate particular goods/services, public or social rules for example
The role of conventions is a example of another rule in Canada
Can be formal or informal
Change over time and facilitate activities
4. Time and Place – contingencies that affect how individuals orient themselves to others
5. Outcomes – how do we evaluate the effectiveness of policies?
the result of the other factors
6. Evaluation – Emerging properties = positive/negative externalities
Gerald Le Dain Report – recommend the legalization of pot in 1972, he is a supreme court judge, forced
to resign
Presentation: meant to be a learning experience
-Should cover what the readings about, how the author deals with the topic they choose to deal
with – be a neutral presenter, what have you learned from the reading
McKay – on students of Canadian federalism, neo-Marxist perspective and how we can
re-understand Canadian federalism
Since writing the article there is now anew understanding of federalism provided by Peter
Russel which includes the French and indigenous populations which McKay does not
directly address
Governance in Canada changes over time by scholars
-Be attentive to the author and try to be as fair as you can in understanding what the author is
trying to do
