The forest sector, historically Canada's largest industry and
largest employer, remains today the source of most of Canada's
positive balance of trade on goods and commodities. Why, then, is
there a dearth of policy literature devoted to exploring the
industry as a nation-wide phenomenon?
Arguing that the complexity of policy-making in the forest
sector has led many analysts to focus exclusively on specific
sectoral activities or jurisdictions, this collection of essays
offers a simplifying framework of analysis developed in comparative
public policy studies to address the current status of Canadian
forest policy nationwide. Using case studies of historical and
contemporary federal and provincial forest policies, the essays
examine the manner in which changes in resource management ideas,
subsystem membership, industrial organization, policy processes,
international affairs and intergovernmental initiatives have
affected the sector.
Insightful and authoritative, this volume will be a helpful
resource for senior students and scholars in the fields of
political science, forestry, public administration, history,
geography, and Canadian, environmental, and labour studies. It will
also be of value to policy makers who must grapple with the
complexity of policy-making in the sector on a day-to-day
basis.
