Rapidly rising carbon emissions from the intense development of
Western Canada's fossil fuels continue to aggravate the global
climate emergency and destabilize democratic structures. The
urgency of the situation demands not only scholarly understanding,
but effective action. Regime of Obstruction aims to make visible
the complex connections between corporate power and the extraction
and use of carbon energy. Edited by William Carroll, this rigorous
collection presents research findings from the first three years of
the seven-year, SSHRC-funded partnership, the Corporate Mapping
Project. Anchored in sociological and political theory, this
comprehensive volume provides hard data and empirical research that
traces the power and influence of the fossil fuel industry through
economics, politics, media, and higher education. Contributors
demonstrate how corporations secure popular consent, and coopt,
disorganize, or marginalize dissenting perspectives to position the
fossil fuel industry as a national public good. They also
investigate the difficult position of Indigenous communities who,
while suffering the worst environmental and health impacts from
carbon extraction, must fight for their land or participate in
fossil capitalism to secure income and jobs. The volume concludes
with a look at emergent forms of activism and resistance, spurred
by the fact that a just energy transition is still feasible. This
book provides essential context to the climate crisis and will
transform discussions of energy democracy. Contributions by Laurie
