Forest Industry Towns in British Columbia

The chapter presents local residents as a solution greater community participation in resource decision-making and management of forest industries. A basic characteristic of single industry towns, including the forest-industry-based towns, is their dependence on the …
Grandeur et misère de la mondialisation au Canada anglais
On trouvera dans ce court essai un survol des travaux sur la mondialisation entrepris par quelques praticiens des sciences sociales canadiens-anglais. Sont incluses les contributions de la veine néo-marxistes (pour laquelle la théorie de la mondialisation est une extension de l’ancienne théorie de l’impérialisme), et de la veine néoclassique (pour laquelle la mondialisation est une conséquence des relations normales de marché). L’État-providence …
Sociology, Ecology and a Global Economy

It discusses the current practices of sociologists and asks the question: which social dimensions should be taken into account to strenghten sociological theory. It emphasizes the necessity to go beyond the framework of the social sciences to build a proper understanding of humanity and s…

Reigns of Terror
Reigns of Terror is a study of states that have committed gross human rights crimes against their own citizens. Patricia Marchak seeks to discover whether these states have anything in common - whether there are preconditions that can be identified as leading to crimes against humanity so that the world community could take preventive action in similar situations elsewhere. She provides short histories of nine culturally and historically diverse …
In Search of Sustainability: British Columbia Forest Policy in the 1990s
The forests of British Columbia have become a battleground over sustainable resource development, setting environmentalists against the forest industry and forestry workers and communities. In an effort to broker peace, British Columbia's NDP government launched a number of promising new forest policy initiatives in the 1990s. These policies are analyzed by a group of political scientists who focus on how and why change has occurred. They examine…
Les femmes, le travail et le syndicalisme au Canada
Les syndicats tels qu'ils sont organisés actuellement ne réussissent pas à améliorer leur recrutement parmi les cols-blancs du secteur privé, où les femmes sont d'ailleurs en majorité. Ils n'arrivent pas mieux à diriger, ni même souvent à aider, le mouvement pour l'égalité des salaires et des chances d'avenir professionnel des femmes au travail. Le présent travail est divisé en quatre parties. La première présente des données relatives à la crois…

Shadows in the Forest: Japan and the Politics of Timber in Southeast Asia
This dissertation creates two new theoretical tools to analyze connections between politics and environmental change. The first section develops the concept of Northern ‘shadow ecologies’ to understand the environmental impact of a Northern state on Southern resource management. A Northern shadow ecology is the aggregate environmental impact of government aid and loans; corporate investment and technology transfers; and trade, including purchasin…
Racism, Sexism, and the University: The Political Science Affair at the University of British Columbia
In 1995 the McEwen report was released charging faculty members of the department of political science at the University of British Columbia with pervasive sexism and racism. The president of UBC responded to the controversial report by suspending admissions to the graduate program in political science, sparking a fiery dispute among students and faculty members over the fairness of the decision. The UBC affair became front-page news throughout C…

A comprehensive analysis of the social, political, and economic role of forests as one of the principal single-staple industries in British Columbia, this book explores the history of forestry in the province, legislation and governmental control, labour unions, community and industry structure, employment conditions for men and women, job security, and 'boom or bust' ideologies.

In Whose Interests: An Essay on Multinational Corporations in a Canadian Context
In an expanding economy, growing corporations demand less government interference in their internal affairs. This has never meant less financial support, less use of force in times of unrest or labour strife, or less public involvement in the development of an infrastructure for industry. But it has meant less restriction on appetites for profit, less social welfare legislation, and fewer trade restrictions except when trade restrictions are seen…

Labour in A Staples Economy
Defences for overcutting the forest on which the British Columbia economy depends are most frequently phrased in terms of protecting employment. They sound a paradoxical overhead noise against technological change that is designed in no small part to reduce employers' dependence on labour, while not in any way reducing the economy's dependence on the export of lumber, pulp, and newsprint to the United States
Women Workers and White‐Collar Unions
Une étude sur échantillon des cols blancs en Colombie britannique a mis en évidence que les possibilités de recrutement syndical sont meilleures chez les femmes que chez les hommes et que cela est directement relié aux niveaux de salaire et au degré d'autonomie au travail. Les syndiqués présentèrent dans leurs réponses une image qui est à l'opposé des travailleurs non‐syndiqués ayant les mêmes emplois. Les hommes accordent un meilleur appui à leu…
