Description

Abstract:: This thesis explores historical and contemporary stakeholder exclusions in Canada’s environmental negotiations and policy processes. In its analysis, the thesis concludes two key premises: 1) historical processes and exclusions inform present-day exclusions in environmental decision-making; and 2) social exclusion and exploitation are indelibly tied to environmental degradation. Thus, this thesis argues that Canada must reevaluate its social norms, institutions and processes of civic engagement to address pressing environmental threats.
Notes:: Scholarly concentration: Socio-Environmentalism; Degree: AB in Socio-Environmentalism
