The Public Servant's Guide to Government in Canada serves as an essential resource for those seeking to transition into and thrive in provincial and federal government roles. Written for university students, early-career public servants, and those shifting into government from other sectors, the book demystifies spaces between politics and public administration. The new, updated edition is organized into five concise chapters. It begins with an exploration of what it means to be a public servant, the core principles of governance, and the division of power in Canadian government. It demonstrates the value of helping to define and deliver the public good in a politically charged environment and explores the expectations and realities of government employment, delving into the politicized nature of public administration and public policy. Providing comprehensive insights into the roles, competencies, and career development strategies essential for success in public service, each chapter includes practical tips and key takeaways that reinforce learning and practice. More than merely a tool for individual advancement, this guide is a call to action for building a more informed and effective public service in Canada"--  |c Provided by publisher.
