Bilateral Ecopolitics : Continuity and Change in Canadian-American Environmental Relations

2006-09-01T00:00:00Z

The context in which environmental policy decision-making occurs has changed, resulting from widening environmental problems, increased demands from groups and citizens, continuing pressure on the continent's resources and normative shifts. The complexity of current issues is related to an even broader contextual shift : the globalization of environmental issues exacerbated by trade liberalization, especially on a regional level and the potential contradictions between trade and the environmental international agenda that this implies.

This volume studies the new dimensions of resource conflict between Canada and the United States, accounting for the emergence of new bilateral environmental issues and detailing how trade liberalization has fostered both disputes and policy convergence. It also examines the recent shifts in America towards a unilateral foreign policy and how this affects active Canadian diplomacy

Ideal as a resource tool for students and academics, this book will be a key resource in the areas of global governance, US-Canadian foreign policy and environmental policy.

International Ecopolitical Theory : Critical Reflections

2006-06-01T00:00:00Z

Eric Laferrière and Peter Stoett, eds. International Ecopolitical Theory :
Critical Reflections. Vancouver : UBC Press, 2006.

The global community's ability to deal effectively with environmental problems is contingent on the successful integration of international relations theory with ecological thought. Yet, while most scholars and policymakers recognize the connection between these two interrelated branches of study, no substantial dialogue exists between them. This volume seeks to fill the lacuna with an original synthesis.

International Ecopolitical Theory assembles some of the top thinkers in the field to provide an invaluable overview of the main critical strands of theory in global environmental politics. By framing the environmental question within a historical and philosophical context, it highlights problems inherent in economistic and managerial approaches to sustainable development policy. Emphasizing environmental consciousness as a cultural norm in an evolving set of global relations, it tackles important debates on naturalism, foundationalism, and radical ecology. Ultimately, it makes a convincing case for the necessity of a critical international relations theory duly informed by the paradoxes of ecological governance. With contributions from experts in political science, philosophy, ecology, history, geography, and systems theory, this collection will have an impact across many disciplines.
