Anchored in the core literature on natural resources, energy
production, and environmental analysis, Green-lite is a critical
examination of Canadian environmental policy, governance, and
politics drawing out key policy and governance patterns to show
that the Canadian story is one of complexity and often weak
performance. Making a compelling argument for deeper historical
analysis of environmental policy and situating environmental
concerns within political and fiscal agendas, the authors provide
extended discussions on three relatively new features of
environmental policy: the federal-cities and urban sustainability
regime, the federal-municipal infrastructure regime, and the regime
of agreements with NGOs and businesses that often relegate
governments to observing participants rather than being policy
leaders. They probe the Harper era's muzzling of environmental
science and scientists, Canada's oil sands energy and resource
economy, and the government's core Alberta and Western Canadian
political base. The first book to provide an integrated,
historical, and conceptual examination of Canadian environmental
policy over many decades, Green-lite captures complex notions of
what environmental policy and green agendas seek to achieve in a
business-dominated economy of diverse energy producing
technologies, and their pollution harms and risks.
