Synopsis: |
In this new and updated edition, the authors once again examinepolicy making in one of the most significant areas of activity in theCanadian economy - natural resources and the environment -and discuss the evolution of resource policies from the early era ofexploitation to the present era of resource and environmentalmanagement.Using an integrated political economy and policy perspective, thebook provides an analytic framework from which the foundation ofideological perspectives, administrative structures, and substantiveissues are explored. Departing from traditional approaches thatemphasize a single discipline or perspective, it offers aninterdisciplinary framework with which to think through ecological,political, economic, and social issues. It also provides a multi-stageanalysis of policy making from agenda setting through the evaluationprocess. The integration of social science perspectives and thecombination of theoretical and empirical work make this innovative bookone of the most comprehensive analyses of Canadian natural resource andenvironmental policy to date.Its illumination of the key elements of government policy making inthis critical sector and its new outline of the evolution of the KyotoProtocol makes it a useful textbook and resource for students ofenvironmental and public policy, policy makers, and environmentalorganizations. |
