Can China Be a Clean Tiger: Growth Strategies and Environmental Realities
C HINA S ENVIRONMENTAL POLICIES are of interest to the rest of the world for at least three reasons. First, since roughly one in five people on the planet is a citizen of the People's Republic, China's environmental policies will have a major influence on phenomena such as global temperature trends which may have impacts far beyond China's borders. Second, the enormity of its environmental challenges will make China a vast market for environmenta…
Estimating Potential Capital Losses from Large Earthquakes
Total capital losses were estimated for two earthquake scenarios in a major urban centre in the Cascadia subduction zone in the Pacific Northwest of North America. The first scenario, involving a 'design' earthquake with Richter magnitude 6.5, yields estimated total losses of $13-26bn; the second, a megathrust earthquake of magnitude 8.2-9.3 yields losses of $51-97bn. Destruction from a hypothetical subduction earthquake could represent from 28 t…
The Fisheries Act and federal‐provincial environmental regulation: Duplication or complementarity
The Neilson Task Force Report recommended a stronger commitment of the federal government to environmental issues and a more effective role at the federal level for the Department of the Environment in addressing these issues. Yet the multi‐authored task force reports are somewhat ambivalent in recommendations relating to provincial‐federal jurisdiction. A central question is whether the presence of both levels of government in this regulatory do…
Social Regulation in Canada: An Overview and Comparison With the American Model
Japan's Energy Strategy at the Crossroads
HE WORLD OF ENERGY POLICY is characterized by sharp discontinuil ties and high stakes. Responses to energy supply uncertainties and the quest for energy security vary among nations, reflecting the different decision-making systems, resource profiles, and the values and perceptions of the future which are dominant in a country at a particular time. Indeed, the energy strategies of Japan reflect its unique social decisionmaking system and position …

Toxic chemical regulation in Canada: Preliminary estimates of costs and benefits
This paper makes an assessment of the impact of toxic chemical regulation in Canada. Ranges of costs and benefits, supplemented by survey information, analogous American data, interviews and case studies have been used to demonstrate the general usefulness of a cost‐benefit framework for public sector decision‐making even where information availability is constrained and complete analysis is not feasible. It is concluded that, with few exceptions…
