Resource and Environmental Management in Canada: Addressing Conflict and Uncertainty

Resource and environmental management often seem to center upon the resolution of conflict generated by differing regional, sectoral, substantive, or ideological perspectives . Uncertainty about present or future conditions is also a basic feature. Nevertheless, analysts and managers mustmake well-informed decisions that may have long-lasting effects. This is the twin focus at the core of Resource and Environmental Management in Canada. The second edition features revisions of the twelve chapters from the first edition, with five additional chapters that deal with First Nations, gender relationships, free trade, fisheries management on the East Coast, and tensions between the hinterland and heartland areas. This updated book, written by leading experts across Canada, will be welcomed by students and researchers in geography and environmental studies
