Hegemony and Global Citizenship: Transitional Governance for the 21st Century
The first decade of the 21st century raised many questions regarding hegemonic power. This system for managing global affairs has significant costs and limits. This book explores one alternative, glob

Backcasting as a policy tool: The role of values
Backcasting, in contrast to forecasting, is a technique of policy analysis that was developed with respect to energy policy in the 1970s and that, since then, has been expanded in the scope of its application. This expansion has especially been to areas – such as sustainability and environmental issues – where future trends are themselves deemed to be part of the problem. In the past decade, a more participatory, ‘second generation’ approach to b…

Environnementalisme et syndicalisme au Canada anglais et aux États-Unis
Cet article décrit et analyse les rapports entre deux mouvements : le syndicalisme et le mouvement environnemental en Amérique du Nord anglophone. L'auteur discute d'abord des origines du mouvement environnemental dans les mouvements de conservation, qui sont distincts et plus imciens, en examinant les conflits possibles entre le mouvement environnemental et la gauche traditionnelle. Il présente ensuite un bref historique des contacts récents au …
Environment, Equity and Globalization: Beyond Resistance
Some assessments of the new global economy are overstated and this, with environmentalism's predisposition to decentralization, has limited global environmental politics. While globalization does provoke equity and environmental failures, it does not “universalize” unemployment, nor is it necessarily financially unstable. It may be successful in its own terms—advancing total global GDP. As well, it is arguable that some wage restraint in rich nat…

Environmentalism in One Country: Canadian Environmental Policy in an Era of Globalization
In sharp contrast with its international reputation and self‐image as a leading national advocate of environmental protection initiatives, Canada has, in the 1990s, reduced its environmental expenditures and initiatives. The most dramatic and visible retreat has been in terms of expenditures, especially at the federal level and in Ontario, the largest and most industrialized province. In addition, again especially in Ontario, following the North …

Environment/Equity: Tensions in North American Politics
Throughout the past 30 years there has been a perception of tension between social equity objectives and the agenda of environmental politics. This tension has arisen in many forms and arenas: on a social class basis, on a gender basis, and on a racial basis; regarding jobs, regarding health, and regarding competition for governmental funding. At the base, however, many of the tensions are as much perceived as real. There is more basis far common…
Toxic waste as public business
That there is some public responsibility for toxic waste management is a point widely taken for granted. However, there has been controversy over whether toxic waste management should become the responsibility primarily of a public corporation. Proposals for a public corporation to assume such responsibility have been advanced in Canada at the provincial level with widely varying outcomes. Through a comparison of three cases – British Columbia, A…
Government Regulating Itself: A Canadian-American Comparison
It is not always easy for governments to regulate the organizations which they themselves have established. This article explores the extent to which and the conditions under which governments can control the behavior of public corporations as regards environmental protection. The analysis utilizes a comparative framework, assessing governmental self regulation in the case of Canadian and U.S. public corporations including the Tennessee Valley Au…

Regulatory and non‐regulatory approaches to environmental protection
Regulation has to date been the policy tool of choice as regards environmental protection. This paper argues that while regulation is often necessary, an array of policy instruments is available. Non‐regulatory approaches may, in some circumstances, be more appropriate or serve as useful supplements to an effective regulatory regime. Three types of non‐regulatory approaches are distinguished: indirect, participatory, and authoritative. Indirect a…
The Exhaustion of Left and Right: Perspectives on the Political Participation of the Disadvantaged
While it is often assumed that those of a left political conviction favor the increased political participation of the disadvantaged and those of a more conservative bent oppose it, examination of the views of five ideologically defined intellectual tendencies raises doubts about this conclusion. Political orientations of a left-right character are not consistently linked to issue positions on this question. In general, Liberals call for measures…

A Killing Rain: The Global Threat of Acid Precipitation
Environmentalism and the Left in North America A Comment
Perhaps the view of environmentalism that is still most typical of the traditional left is that of Hans Magnus Enzensberger, published in a 1974 article entitled, A Critique of Political Bcology. Enzensberger's view of political ecology as a movement and as a world-view is full of ambiguity and doubt
