Regional development policy no longer seems to be accorded the priority it previously received on the Canadian public policy agenda. Five reasons for the demise of regional policy are examined. Future directions for regional policy are discussed in light of the evolving political climate in Canada. The potential for geographers to contribute to policy debates by offering critical perspectives on proposed policies in the context of social science theory and analysis is addressed. La politique de développement régional ne semble plus avoir la priorité d'autrefois sur la scène publique canadienne. L'auteur examine cinq raisons de ce manque d'intérêt et présente les orientations futures d'une politique régionale dans le contexte de l'évolution du climat politique canadien. L'article décrit l'opportunité offerte aux géographes de contribuer au débar en critiquant les politiques selon le cadre théorique et analytique de la science sociale.
