Neighbourhood participation and social inclusion: Case studies of Calgary, Alberta
Identifying ranching landscape values in the Calgary, Alberta region: Implications for land‐use planning
In recent years, ranching landscapes in the region of Calgary, Alberta have experienced intensifying land‐use pressures related to urban growth and development. At the same time, Alberta's land‐use policies have introduced voluntary, market‐based incentives to encourage the conservation and stewardship of private land. Given this new emphasis, this study aims to better understand different perspectives of ranching landscapes among residents and l…
Environmental Determinism
Environmental determinism, a concept we can trace to Greek and Arabic scholars, rests on the idea that the environment shapes the course of human development across various domains and at scales ranging from the individual to societies. It also figured prominently in the work of many Enlightenment‐era scholars including but not limited to Machiavelli and Montesquieu. During the early part of the twentieth century environmental determinism held a …
Social transformation in rural Canada: Community, Cultures, and Collective Action
This book is a collection of eighteen articles whose authors studied different aspects of social transformation taking place in Canada’s rural communities. Rural Canada faces demographic challenges resulting not only from fertility decline but also from youth out-migration. Together, these two phenomena are resulting in more rapid aging of the rural than of the urban population. As a consequence, changes in social and cultural relationships are s…
Spatial and temporal variation in vulnerability of crop production to drought in southern Alberta
Growing evidence of global climate change has led to global concerns over the vulnerability of agriculture to drought. Located in a semiarid environment, southern Alberta has suffered significant losses of agricultural productivity due to drought hazards in recent decades. Understanding the relationship between crop production and drought conditions is essential for coping with increasingly uncertain climate conditions. This study attempts to qua…

Farmers' Interest Groups and Agricultural Policy in New Zealand during the 1980s
During the 1980s in New Zealand the fabric of state support which had gradually expanded after World War 2 was suddenly removed. Farmers' interest groups found they were unable to influence appreciably the general direction of macroeconomic policy or to contain the influence of deregulationist policies on agriculture. A political economy approach is used to conceptualise and offer preliminary theoretical suggestions about the changing interconnec…
