Canadian Ecopolitics provides a comprehensive overview of the intersection between environmental issues and political processes in Canada. It explores key concepts, historical developments, and contemporary challenges in environmental governance, highlighting the diverse world views that shape ecopolitical discourse – from resource extractivism to deep ecology. Rosalind Warner, Peter Stoett, and Will Greaves analyse Canada’s role on the global stage as well as the challenges of multilevel governance of natural resources. The book traces the country’s ecopolitical history from pre-colonial times through confederation to modern environmental movements. The book emphasizes the critical relationship between environmental issues and political processes in governing vital resources such as energy, water, climate, oceans, and biodiversity, making this analysis both timely and essential. The authors explore the complex interactions among different levels of governance, Indigenous perspectives, and competing interests that influence Canadian environmental policy. With a critical focus on the challenges and opportunities within Canada’s environmental landscape, Canadian Ecopolitics offers valuable insights for students, policymakers, and engaged citizens aiming to understand and transform this crucial area of governance.
