Politics, Policy, and Government in British Columbia
Politics, Policy, and Government in British Columbia examines the political life of Canada's dynamic Pacific province. Each of the seventeen chapters, written by well-known experts, provides an up-to-date portrait and analysis of one of the many faces of B.C. politics.

White Gold
Examining five major public and private hydroelectric projects from the 1960s to the 1980s in various parts of Canada, Froschauer (sociology and anthropology, Simon Fraser U.) explains how they increased utility debts, hurt the environment and local communities, and resulted in the layoff of 25,000 employees. He describes errors in timing and magnitude, in expected influence on industrial transformation, and in integration into regional or national power grids. He applies a unifying political economy perspective to the example projects and the industry as a whole. He himself worked for BC Hydro from 1966 to 1981. Canadian card order number: C99-910638-4.
