Reviews

A useful addition … [There is a] paucity of readable and perceptive political science in this field … [this book] crackle[s] with interesting ideas and testable hypotheses.
*Canadian Public Policy*

Praise for the 1st editionAn excellent book … accessible, well written and well researched. It provides a first-rate introduction to the dilemmas and controversies surrounding Canadian natural resource and environmental policy and as such it will facilitate discussion in the classroom and encourage students to think about the issues.
