Political scientists concerned with environmental and forestry issues in Canada and elsewhere have compiled their findings delivered and published in parts elsewhere into a reference focusing on Canada's largest industry and employer, which and accounts for most it her positive balance of trade on goods and commodities. After setting out the structure and dynamics of the forest policy regime, they examine case studies from the several regions and at various governmental levels. Annotation c.

Canada's vast forest estate played a central role in its development as a nation, and the forest retains its importance today as an integral component of the economy and environmental quality. In 14 chapters by diverse authors, this work documents the economic and political forces that shaped the historical development of Canadian forest policy. Key players include colonial powers, the federal and provincial governments, the forest products industry, environmentalists, and indigenous peoples. Canadian forest policy has largely been determined by a closed relationship between provincial governments and extractive industries, especially pulp and paper, predicated on long-term access to low cost fiber. Recently, increased competition from foreign interests, protective US trade barriers, and public outcry from environmentalists and First Nation peoples are forcing change in the way Canadian forest policy is made. Editorial oversight of this book is excellent, providing a synthetic volume that is well written and extensively supported by footnotes and literature citations. It is an authoritative work suitable for graduate study and is comparable to the World Resources Institute's Public Policies and the Misuse of Forest Resources, ed. by Robert Repetto and Malcolm Gillis (CH, Jul'89). Recommended to anyone involved in forest policy making and analysis. Graduate students through professionals. Copyright 2002 American Library Association
