Petroleum Development and Environmental Conflict in Aotearoa New
Zealand: Texas of the South Pacific examines the dilemmas
associated with economic growth through the expansion of resource
extraction. States seeking to grow their economies through the
expansion of resource extraction are forced to cope with the rising
influence of transnational corporations on domestic politics and
democratic institutions; to mitigate the environmental damage from
increased extraction activities; to respond to the mounting
evidence which indicates that unconventional oil and gas
development practices are harming communities, local environments,
and human health; and to manage the international pressures and
citizens' demands that climate change is addressed through a
transition from fossil fuel dependence to a clean-energy economy.
Terrence M. Loomis analyzes the circumstances under which
environmental opposition to state policies to promote oil and gas
development-in collaboration with the petroleum industry-, has lead
to far-reaching changes in institutional relations between the
state and civil society.
