Its authors examine Alberta's neo-liberal environmental regulation, institutional adaptation to petro-state imperatives, social movement organizing, Indigenous responses to extractive development, media framing of issues, and corporate strategies to secure social license to operate. Importantly, they also discuss policy alternatives for political democratization and for a transition to a low-carbon economy. The volume's conclusions offer a critical examination of petro-state theory, arguing for a comparative and contextual approach to understanding the relationships between dependence on carbon extraction and the nature of political regimes."-- OP - 668 CN - HD9574.C23 A658 2016eb SN - 9781442699410 SN - 1442699418 SN - 9781442699427 SN - 1442699426 SN - 9781442644199 SN - 1442644192 SN - 9781442612587 SN - 1442612584 KW - Petroleum industry and trade : Political aspects : Alberta.
