The Government of Natural Resources explores government scientific
activity in Quebec from Confederation until the Second World War.
Scientific and technical personnel are an often quiet presence
within the state, but they play an integral role. By tracing the
history of geology, forestry, fishery, and agronomy services,
Stéphane Castonguay reveals how the exploitation of natural
resources became a tool of government. As it shaped territorial and
environmental transformations, scientific activity contributed to
state formation and expanded administrative capacity. This
thoughtful reconceptualization of resource development reaches well
beyond provincial borders, changing the way we think of science and
state power.
