Hi, I’m Charles Conteh
I am a Professor of Public Policy and Administration in the Department of Political Science at Brock University. I have published extensively on Canadian and Comparative Public Policy, Public Administration and Management, Political Economy and Multilevel Governance. My recent research interests focus on exploring how the forces of Canadian federalism shape the socioeconomic destinies of local and regional municipalities across the country and how dynamic regions navigate the shifting contours of multilevel governance to their advantage.
