요약 : This thesis examines how civil society actors in social and health policy use knowledge to influence policy change. This was done through the carrying out of two case studies concerned with social welfare policy in Ontario. The first case considers the knowledge activities used by those advocating on behalf of tenants to oppose provisions of the Tenant Protection Act during public hearings in 1997. The second case examines the use of knowledge by supporters of Women's College Hospital as it fought closure in 1996 during the hospital restructuring process. The study also considers the extent to which participants collaborate with citizens to build a case for a particular policy perspective and policy outcome. A new conceptual framework of policy change was developed that builds upon Sabatier's and Hall's learning approaches to policy change. The new framework also incorporates Foucault's power/knowledge and Habermas' typology of instrumental, interactive and critical knowledge. Interviews and document review were the prime research methods used. In the first case study, seven individuals employed in housing and non-housing fields who acted to oppose provisions of the Tenants Protection Act were interviewed. In the second case study, strategists of Women's College Hospital and others associated with Wellesley Hospital—ten in total—were interviewed about the hospital's fight to oppose closure. Findings illustrated how civil society actors use a diverse range of knowledge to influence the policy change process. Participants in both cases—professional policy analysts such as lawyers, physicians and others with professional credentials—used legal, public relations, personal stories and political-strategic approaches to convey their knowledge about an issue. The cases differed in the degree to which citizens defined the policy issues and how these issues were addressed in public activities. The results also show that the political identity (i.e. social class, sexual orientation, ethno-racial characteristics, etc.) of civil society actors affects the extent to which they are able to influence the policy change process. While political ideology played a role in government receptivity to advocates' arguments in both cases, its importance depended upon the policy area being addressed.
