Summary:

"The Canadian Environment in a Political Context is an introduction to environmental policy designed to explain and explore how environmental policy is made inside the Canadian political arena. The intended audience is primarily students new to environmental policy and Canadian politics. The book begins with a brief synopsis of environmental quality across Canada before moving on to examine political institutions and policy-making, the history of environmentalism in Canada, and such crucial issues as wildlife policy, pollution, climate change, Aboriginals and the environment, and Canada's North. The book ends with a consideration of how to evaluate environmental policy and a look to the future that includes a discussion of the challenges and opportunities that Canada will face in the twenty-first century and in global terms."-- Provided by publisher.
