Description

In recent years, the forests of British Columbia have become a battleground for sustainable resource development.

The conflicts are ever present, usually pitting environmentalists against the forest industry and forestry workers and communities.

In an effort to broker peace in the woods, British Columbia's NDP government launched a number of promising new forest policy initiatives in the 1990s.

In Search of Sustainability brings together a group of political scientists to examine this extraordinary burst of policy activism.

Focusing on how much change has occurred and why, the authors examine seven components of BC forest policy: land use, forest practices, tenure, Aboriginal issues, timber supply, pricing, and jobs.
