This book was released on 2017-05-11 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Submitted Assignment from the year 2016 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Environmental Policy, grade: 90%, University of Windsor, course: Political Science 45-201, language: English, abstract: The paper in question will focus on Canadian environmental policies in the political field, especially those concerned with climate change. Environmental policies have remained a very delicate and important part of Canadian policy for a long period of time. This is because they tend to affect the domestic and international wellbeing of the country and as such must be handled with extreme caution. This is reflected in the themes associated with the academic sources used for this paper, which will be in the first section. The body of the paper is divided into seven sections. The first four sections have to do with the main themes discussed in the academic sources, and how these themes are stated in the newspaper articles. That is, if they are covered in the articles or not. The third section examines if the newspaper articles include academic or historical facts. Next, the paper shows the extent to which academic arguments are portrayed in the articles -that is, overstating or understating academic arguments. The last section gives a summary of the paper, evaluating media coverage on environmental issues. When referring to environmental issues in terms of politics, it is important to note that such issues not only affect politics, but also have an effect on the social and economic aspects of a country, especially its people. The main goal of this research paper is to assess the media coverage of environmental issues in Canadian politics. This refers to how the Canadian media tends to frame such issues and how informed the coverage of such issues are. In order to do this, this paper is going to use four different academic readings as well as two newspapers, namely: the National Post and the Globe and Mail to evaluate the quality of such coverage.

Book Synopsis Canadian Environments by : Robert C. Thomsen
Download or read book Canadian Environments written by Robert C. Thomsen and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2005 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Responding to the comprehensive topic 'Old Environments - New Environments', scholars from a variety of disciplines reflect the various connotations that the term 'environment' carries in a Canadian context. Whether moving within the realm of foreign policy, visual arts, constitutional questions, tourism, nature preservation or aboriginal rights, these essays put the capaciousness and cohesiveness of the nation to the test by illustrating the pressures enforced upon it by multiculturalism, the claims for self-determination, anti-confederate agitation and globalisation. The environments scrutinised are many and various, but within each the linchpin remains the quest for identity on the part of the individual, the group or the nation at large. Individually as well as collectively, the essays in this volume constitute an important contribution to the ongoing debate on Canadianness.

Book Synopsis Alberta Oil and the Decline of Democracy in Canada by : Meenal Shrivastava
Download or read book Alberta Oil and the Decline of Democracy in Canada written by Meenal Shrivastava and published by Athabasca University Press. This book was released on 2015-10-01 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Democracy in Alberta: The Theory and Practice of a Quasi-Party System, published in 1953, C. B. Macpherson explored the nature of democracy in a province that was dominated by a single class of producers. At the time, Macpherson was talking about Alberta farmers, but today the province can still be seen as a one-industry economy—the 1947 discovery of oil in Leduc having inaugurated a new era. For all practical purposes, the oil-rich jurisdiction of Alberta also remains a one-party state. Not only has there been little opposition to a government that has been in power for over forty years, but Alberta ranks behind other provinces in terms of voter turnout, while also boasting some of the lowest scores on a variety of social welfare indicators. The contributors to Alberta Oil and the Decline of Democracy critically assess the political peculiarities of Alberta and the impact of the government’s relationship to the oil industry on the lives of the province’s most vulnerable citizens. They also examine the public policy environment and the entrenchment of neoliberal political ideology in the province. In probing the relationship between oil dependency and democracy in the context of an industrialized nation, Alberta Oil and the Decline of Democracy offers a crucial test of the “oil inhibits democracy” thesis that has hitherto been advanced in relation to oil-producing countries in the Global South. If reliance on oil production appears to undermine democratic participation and governance in Alberta, then what does the Alberta case suggest for the future of democracy in industrialized nations such as the United States and Australia, which are now in the process of exploiting their own substantial shale oil reserves? The environmental consequences of oil production have, for example, been the subject of much attention. Little is likely to change, however, if citizens of oil-rich countries cannot effectively intervene to influence government policy.

Book Synopsis Some Like It Cold by : Robert C. Paehlke
Download or read book Some Like It Cold written by Robert C. Paehlke and published by Between the Lines. This book was released on 2008-04-01 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some Like It Cold plunges headlong into the political conundrum of Canada’s climate change debate. Focusing on the past responses of both Liberal and Conservative governments to the looming crisis ranging from negligence to complicity and connivance Paehlke illuminates the issues surrounding compliance with global regulations such as Kyoto, including the dilemma of tar sands development. But he also lays out crucial political steps that could, if taken, lead towards a solution. While he presents a potentially positive projection for the future, Paehlke is not afraid to point a finger at Canada’s fractured and flawed democracy demonstrating that the country’s ambivalence is our biggest hindrance to joining the international quest to move forward on this unparalleled global challenge.

Book excerpt: The concept of environmental justice has offered a new direction for social movements and public policy in recent decades, and researchers worldwide now position social equity as a prerequisite for sustainability.
