Abstract
This paper presents a macro-analysis of the approaches chosen by Canada and Norway–two of the western developed countries most committed–to health promotion policy. In both countries innovative and diverging approaches to health promotion are currently being implemented. The analysis concentrates on an area highly related to health promotion, namely nutrition policy. The paper explores the rationale behind the approaches to health promotion in Canada and in Norway in the period 1973–83. It puts forward the notion of “uncertainty” and explores policy areas in which such uncertainty has been overlooked in the two countries.Keywords
