Description

This book examines policy-making in one of the most significant areas of activity in the Canadian economy -- natural resources and the environment. It discusses the evolution of resource policies from the early era of exploitation to the present era of resource and environmental management. Using an integrated political economy and policy perspective, the book provides an analytic framework from which the foundation of ideological perspectives, administrative structures, and substantive issues are explored. The integration of social science perspectives and the combination of theoretical and empirical work make this innovative book one of the most comprehensive analyses of Canadian natural resource and environmental policy to date. - from Amzon
